Nikola vuciciv is out for the magic, and Aaron aaflalo is unlikely to play.

I am not sure about chandlers status yet,

Expecting a big game from mozgov. He will tower over Orlando, glen davis is magics tallest player. And he is listed at 6ft9 but is actually only about 6ft7

Chandler, Randolph are both out for denver

Aaflalo and nikola vuciciv vith out for magic.

Quincy miller will get the start again.

This team has been fun to watch lately.

Playing like how I envisioned they would play when Shaw was announced as coach.

Also I think Quincy makes Chandler tradeable.

Definatly... hearing gallo is very close to returning,

Maybe package chandler with hamilton and/or hickson?

Pelians are looking to trade Eric gordan would he be an option for us? Jrue holdiay out with a stress fracture, maybe they could use andre miller?

Gordon's contract is pretty heavy...i'd give it a go though

I want nothing to do with gordon, you start looking at his history and he has never been the same player since his injury, now he is a glorified Ben gordon only not as good on offense and a much worse attitude.

I didn't like Foye but his last 7 or so games have been elite.

yeah, but after this year only 1 year left and an extra year with a player option, if all it took was andre miller plus the TPE is would do it

Cannot combine a player with the TPE, also that would put the Nuggets over the $4 million Tax lip, which they cannot do since they used the large MLE.

Why are there no Nuggets fans on here?

Couple of other much more popular boards for Nuggets fans, and with the Melodrama fallout as well as the constant attacks on the Nuggets throughout the board many fans are now banned.

Happy to have Quincy on the roster, another good pick from Masai.

Watching Arthur hobble to the back is not a good sign, especially when McGee, Randolph, Chandler, and Gallo are all already out.

I agree, I wanted him with the 1st rounder that year, and was surprised we got him in the 2nd round. I cannot see what I would consider a bad pick by Ujiri with a pick in the top 40.

It is hard to believe but Q Miller finally passed the 100 minute mark for his career, and as eathb_au has stated a couple of times with the way he looks I think it may be time to shop chandler, once Gallo gets back I would hate to see either Miller or fournier lose their minutes.

Good win by nuggets, couple key games in the comming weeks with games agaisnt pacers, Gsw and blazers. Good chance to see how we fair against some the the leagues elite.

If you are unaware eric bledsoe is out indifentaly with knee surgery, and with gallo likely back soon, this is a good chance for us to jump into the 7th or 8th seed in the west.

Quincy seems to be coming along nicely. It's too bad he's probably going to fall back out of the rotation when everyone else gets healthy, but I don't think it's a good idea to consider trading Chandler just yet.

We're a tough team to beat when the 3-ball is falling like it has been. I can't wait to see how they look when Gallo and McGee come back. Hopefully Arthur won't be out for too long.

the thing with Chandler is that once Gallo gets back and up to speed, where do you play Chandler? fournier is already getting most of the backup SF minutes, with only a handful of minutes coming from SG, Foye may get a few minutes cut, and there will be less minutes played with that stupid smurf lineup, but minutes will be at a premium.

I look at things like this, Chandler is what he is, an average starting quality SF who is a very good bench combo forward. He is not going to be the long term difference maker between winning a title or not winning a title if Gallo is out as he has shown this year that he is not really able to replace a healthy gallo's production which this team needs. there is also very limited minutes available for him at pf with all the depth there. Fourneir and Q. Miller have both shown an ability to be very good long term players, if you believe in them then you need to create room in the rotation for them to play, and I do not see Chandler being happy limited to 12-15 minutes per game behind Gallo and a few minutes at SG or PF, so if you can combine him and Faried for an upgrade at PF then why not? If you could get a good pick for him, or even and upgrade at starting SG for him and Miller, then I would trade him.

But it's not like Gallinari is going to come back and immediately reclaim his 30 mpg. He usually takes at least a month or two to get back up to speed after an injury. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still not there by the time the playoffs roll around.

And honestly, how often do we ever have both Gallo and Chandler healthy at the same time? In the 3 years we've had them, it seem like at least one is always hurt. There will always be some minutes to be had at their position as long as they're here. I'm not comfortable trading either until at least one of them has proven the ability to stay healthy for more than a couple months at a time. I also don't think Q is ready to be handed consistent playing time. He got a good taste, keep him hungry and working hard and reevaluate the situation in the off-season when we have a better idea of what Gallinari is capable of.

If you can package Chandler with Faried for an obvious upgrade/potential star, I agree, of course you do it. But dumping Chandler to open up playing time is not a good idea just yet.
