Clippers, Thunder pushing for Wilson Chandler
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Clippers are
reportedly both going hard after Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler. The 6-8 three/four combo would be a great help to either team, but the question is whether either can come up with a package attractive enough for Denver to pull the trigger.
For the Clippers he could slide right into the small forward spot in the starting lineup or add some scoring to the bench unit. He could also allow the Clippers to play small for stretches of the game, moving
Blake Griffin to the five and having Chandler fill in at the four.
For the
Thunder, particularly with the injury to
Enes Kanter, they just need someone besides Westbrook who can put the ball in the basket. Chandler can clearly do that, and would fit nicely as a scorer and floor-spacer alongside Westbrook and
Steven Adams.
