We know Chris Andersen has been on the trade block for a little while now; even though he has provided some nice minutes in spurts this season. But who else could the Nuggets be looking to deal? As Ziller points out, it might not be out of the realm of possibilities that Andre Miller could be involved in a deal because, even though he's loved by George Karl, of his expiring contract status and advancing NBA age.
Andersen, and his remaining two-years, $9.3 million salary, doesn't really leave trade enthusiasts salivating at what he could bring back in a deal. Rather, a move of the Birdman would help the Nuggets clear some salary cap space for the Ty Lawson extension and help dislodge the logjam that is the Nuggets front-court. Injuries to Timofey Mozgov, Nene Hilario, and Kosta Koufos make dealing the Bird a somewhat risky move, but he's an expensive luxury the Nuggets probably don't want to afford.
Miller is a little different story, as his $7.8 million expiring deal has some value as does the fact that the soon-to-be 36 year-old point guard is still a capable starter in the League. But again, the Miller and Andersen deals don't mean the Nuggets would be getting back big-time talent.
