On the same day that ESPN reported the Denver Nuggets are shopping Emmanuel Mudiay, USA Today reported that veteran forward Wilson Chandler wants out of Denver.
Sam Amick, citing two anonymous sources, wrote that Chandler, “the player who came to Denver as part of the Carmelo Anthony deal six years ago wants to be traded.”
Amick went on to explain that Chandler’s frustration stem from “inconsistency with his role.” Chandler has been in and out of the starting lineup this season. He’s started 13 of the 44 games he’s appeared in, while averaging 15.4 minutes, 6.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists and 30.2 minutes per game.
