Should the Nuggets shop one of their highly-skilled small forwards?

Yes, or at least I would think so. While no rumors have officially made their way around, with the Mile High City becoming more antsy, rumors may start to appear. With their next 10 games easily winnable, Denver needs to go on a little run in order to silence their antsy fans.

Chandler and Gallinari (especially Chanlder) both have value in the NBA. Chandler has proven that he can be a physical scorer and defender while Gallinari has proven his entire career that he can score. With teams like Houston or Boston potentially craving a defensive mastermind like Chandler, teams could offer enough to claw them from Denver.

With the small ball lineup becoming more prevalent in the NBA, these two may continue to hold solid value among most NBA teams.

So to answer the question, yes, I think Denver will eventually make a deal.
