Rockets pursuing Wilson Chandler trade?
The Houston Rockets may be in the mix for another stretch forward.
ESPN’s Chris Haynes says on Monday to “keep an eye on” the Rockets in a possible pursuit of Denver Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler.
Another team to keep an eye on in pursuit of Denver forward Wilson Chandler: Houston.

The 29-year-old Chandler, who is averaging 15.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game this season on 45.4 percent from the field and 33.8 from deep, fits the mold of the floor-spacing tweener that Houston has largely come to define. But he has grown frustrated with his inconsistent role in Denver, and it’s unclear if he would be open to a situation where Trevor Ariza and Ryan Anderson are the undisputed starting forwards.
Chandler has also been drawing reported interest from other Western Conference teams, so it appears that he’s something of a hot commodity as Thursday’s trade deadline draws nearer.
