Woj: Nuggets, 76ers agree to deal centered around Wilson Chandler

Having successfully re-signed both Nikola Jokic and Will Barton, the attention of the Nuggets’ brass has shifted towards shedding salary. Early Tuesday afternoon, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed that Denver has succeeded in moving one of their unwanted contracts—the Nuggets will send Wilson Chandler to the Philadelphia 76ers for second round pick(s).

Denver has traded Wilson Chandler and a draft consideration to the 76ers, league sources tell ESPN. Chandler will be absorbed into the Sixers space.

Moving off one of Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arthur or Wilson Chandler’s contracts was of the upmost importance after retaining the services of Will Barton.
