Wilson Chandler has requested a trade from DEN

[saltlover]

Since Khris Middleton got injured, I always felt that Milwaukee should look at Chandler.

(Completely unrelatedly, autocorrect insisted on changing Khris to Khrushchev.)

Philly makes some sense.  Rodriguez and Noel/Okafor for Chandler and Mudiay.

Portland could do a Crabbe for Chandler swap.  Saves the Blazers money and balances there roster a bit better.  Crabbe is an excellent outside shooter which would fit in well in Denver.

Makes a ton of sense for Philly; zero sense for Denver. They have no need or desire for Noel/Okafor. They're already trying to trade Nurkic due to a center logjam, so this trade would just make Denver the 76ers of the West with a center logjam.

Don't understand why they want to move on from Mudiay. Don't people believe he has Wall type potential?

Mudiay makes little sense for the 76ers with what is going on with that team now... They want to surround embiid with shooters

Agreed, makes no sense for Philly either. If they stick to the idea of putting the ball in Ben Simmons' hands, then they'll need 3-and-D guys around the Ben/Embiid combo. Maybe the Pistons get involved and move Reggie Jackson?

Reggie Jackson is not a 3-and-D.  He'lol want to be the primary ball handler.

Meant Reggie to Denver. They want "win-now" guys. Gives them a scorer at the PG. Allegedly, SVG is looking to go another way in Detroit at PG.

Detroit gets Mudiay + Chandler. Denver gets Jackson.

He is almost undisputably the worst starting PG in the league this year.

47.9% true shooting (roughly Marcus Smart level), 1.6:1 assist:turnover rate, no defense to speak of.  His only redeeming qualities are that he is big and fast. 

I think Okafor for Mudiay would actually be a fine trade.  Let both guys get a fresh start in environments that might suit them better.

TP. Didn't realize he's been that bad. I don't watch Denver hardly at all. But I knew coming out of the draft his potential ceiling was as high as anyone in the draft, and many were saying he had Wall type potential.

I still don't see it as a good trade with Denver already having plenty of bigs with no real need for more.

Smart for Nurkic makes some sense. Both guys would be starters on their new teams and backups where they are. For all of his flaws, Smart would be a huge upgrade over Mudiay on a team stacked with scorers, and Nurkic would be a huge upgrade over Amir Johnson.

Smart for Nurkic does not make much sense.  You'd take a severe downgrade replacing a guy who plays 30 minutes a game to mildly upgrade someone who plays 20 minutes a game.  That's a step backwards.

Luckily there's no way this is happening.

For Denver, not us.

[TheSundanceKid]

I just kinda wonder what Denver is targeting to get back. I guess if they move Mudiay they want a point guard?

Anyways, enter the Juancho.

I'm guessing part of it is they see Murray as a future pg? I'm guessing Rose would be attractive from NY

Personally, I think Noel would be a great fit next to Jokic.  Even Okafor and Jokic could work well and I actually like the Okafor and Faried pairing.  Nurkic is obviously on the block and I don't expect him to last long in Denver.

Mudiay doesn't make as much sense, but he is talented, but Chandler makes a lot of sense in Philly.  And let's remember that the Sixers have been starting McConnell who is a much worse shooter than Mudiay (who isn't very good).  Even Rodriguez isn't exactly shooting lights out from the PG spot.  I just think a team that starts Mudiay, Chandler, Simmons, Ilyasova, Embiid would be very interesting.  Bring in Saric, Covington, Henderson, Stauskas, McConnell and Noel/Okafor off the bench and the Sixers have a very interesting team.
