if this trade goes through, the Bulls will keep Curry.
PHOENIX -- Denver and the Bulls have discussed a trade that would send fourth-year big man Tyson Chandler to the Nuggets, according to two league sources.
The talks only advance the growing perception that general manager John Paxson will trade either Chandler or Eddy Curry between now and the February trade deadline.
Curry has been linked in trade talks with the Knicks, among other teams.
The Bulls would seek a big man in return for Chandler, and a logical target is Nene, a 6-foot-11-inch, 260-pound power forward. The third-year player is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury and recently had his fourth-year option exercised by Denver. Nene makes $2.4 million.
Other salaries would need to be included to match Chandler's $4.8 million salary. One possibility is third-year big man Nikoloz Tskitishvili, who makes $2.9 million and whose fourth-year option was recently declined by Denver.
Denver general manager Kiki Vandeweghe has a long history with Chandler, dating back to shared Los Angeles backgrounds and big man camps.
