    "We are exploring all avenues," Luchey said. "Our talks [with Denver] thus far have been OK. It's just the nature [of free agency]. They have options and Will has options."

    Chandler has said for months that his intention is to re-sign with the Nuggets, but Ujiri -- according to Luchey -- has made it clear he has no interest in signing him for only the rest of the season and that he wants a long-term deal. If an agreement between the two sides can't be reached soon, Chandler has two options.

    He has until March 1 to sign an offer sheet with another team, then either join that club or return to the Nuggets if they match the offer. After March 1, Chandler can't sign with any team but Denver for the remainder of the season. And because the Nuggets aren't showing interest in that option, he could then be left to sit out the rest of the season and be a restricted free agent again in July.

    Sounds like he's just using Toronto as leverage against Denver to get a better deal.

    The day Wilson Chandler puts a Raps jersey on, is the day DeMar becomes a star.

    I hear rumors of Barbosa being moved to make room for Wilson...thoughts?

    I hate Barbs so I would love that to happen.
