The Nuggets have considered trading JaVale McGee and/or Wilson Chandler, league sources tell Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders (via Twitter).
McGee, everyone’s favorite freakishly talented but sometimes absent-minded center, saw just five games of action this season. McGee fractured his left tibia in November and while Denver hoped to have him back on the floor at some point, a February surgery brought an end to his 2013/14 campaign. The big man averaged 9.1 PPG and 4.8 RPG in 2012/13 for Denver.
Chandler found himself mentioned on Hoops Rumors when things appeared to be getting hot and heavy on the Kevin Love front, but nothing came from those June talks. Today’s report from Kennedy would infer that Chandler can be had in deals that don’t involve the Wolves’ top talent.
Those two take up some where around 17 mil of Denvers cap space. If we got a couple basketballs for them, that would be a successful deal.
I wonder if the Celtics would want to trade for McGee. I mean they need a rim protector and Athleticism in the front court and he fits the bill for both.
Take him if he doesn’t improve…
someone please take mcgee away, we dont need this guy
