    He's pretty spendy. 9 million a year. We could make it work though. I guess I'm not sure what Boston is expecting to get back.

    GS shouldn't make a move either, let's see if both teams are managed well.

    Yeah, but they're also overloaded at the 2/3. Jeff Hornacek made this comment about them being overstocked over a month ago:

    Seems to me that they could benefit by dealing Green for a big or two...

    What is with the Wilson Chandler obsession? Trade a 1st round pick? Seriously?

    He's pretty decent? Look at his line last night. How good is out pick going to be?

    If we're giving up our pick for one of Denver's guys... I want Afflalo! If Chandler can be had "on the cheap," I wouldn't be opposed to trading for him.

    Man, if there was some way to get Afflalo AND Chandler on our bench, you'd have to think we'd be the favorite...

    Especially if these "types" just leave at the end of the season (not saying Chandler specifically). Now if you could find one that is sticking round for 2 more years after this one plus on a nice contract (for the team) then you jump at it but in those cases they likely cost more.

    You mean 20 points on 20 shots? Or his 21 points on 21 shots on Friday? Or maybe his 11 points on 17 shots on Tuesday. In fact, over the past 3 weeks, he's averaged 35mpg, and scored 159 points on 166 attempts, shooting 38%. Rebounds are the only other thing he offers, and that's not really an area where we're lacking.

    No--not impressed.

    If I were neil I'd wait till around the deadline. Would suck to trade a 1st for Wilson freaking chandler and then find yourself with other needs a month and a half from now.

    If around the deadline someone pops up in exchange for flotsam, pull trigger

    Wilson is the one guy I really want. Not for his offense, but rather his defense. We need another wing defender, and he is an elite one. He is also really frustrated in Denver. The question is do we have something Denver wants?

    As it gets closer to the deadline there will be teams giving away players, wait it out.

    If his defense is amazing, I think that's worth looking at, but not for a #1

    If we end up finishing in the top three, that pick won't be much.
