It has been rumored on Twitter that Chandler has asked for a trade by the deadline of Feb. 21.
Chandler has averaged 9.5 points and nearly five rebounds per game this season with the Nuggets, and despite being the only player held to single digits against the Cleveland Cavaliers last game, his +/- was a team best +9. This shows his ability to help the team on both ends of the court, important when you like to push the ball.
Chandler could arguably be a starter on another team, but then again so could Corey Brewer, Andre Miller and JaVale McGee. Hopefully the rumors aren’t true. Hopefully this talk won’t affect the Nuggets current hot streak, and hopefully this team stays together for at least the duration of the season.
The Nuggets are currently on a four-game road trip before NBA All-Star weekend and are trying to jump past the Los Angeles Clippers for the third spot in the Western Conference. The Nuggets are only 11-15 on the road while dominating at home, 22-3.
Sometimes it’s hard to comprehend what is happening on Twitter, and sometimes it’s hard to comprehend exactly what someone is saying or wants to say. Professional athletes are human too, they tweet something, think about it for a while and then go back and delete it. Who hasn’t done that either on Twitter or Facebook?

DJ be unpopular for this buy goin to say it
If OUR knickerbockers can deal JR Smith straight even up for Wilson Chandler I'd be happy
Both guys go to basket with JR being better at outside FG shot trys & Chandler more inside jumper and post
Wilson more consistent defender & less foolish fouls than JR
Both inconsistent but Wilson do few more Lil thangs like block shots, & rebounder
Both can shoot 3pt FG with JR leading that
Once you get JR past Georgie-Porgie pudding&pie Karl then trade can work for both since Nuggets scheme & what Karl wants to do JR knows most of it already.
Chandler a valued ex knick & still young can guard bigs & SGs
Do deal I'd be happy
