If you were looking for a player who represents the average level of the league best, Wilson Chandler is your guy. He has a $12.8 million player option on the final year of his deal with the Denver Nuggets right now, and will be opting into it this season.

While Denver has never been a free agent destination, the Colorado franchise could affect a mid-season trade in order to land an unlikely superstar - again something that has never been done in franchise history.

Then again, no center in the league has averaged 17 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game since Wilt Chamberlain pulled it off in the '60s, so you can certainly envision wing players who would love to play alongside the do-it-all Nikola Jokic, who will be signing a 5-year, $148 million extension with the franchise this summer.

In such an eventuality, the Nuggets will try to surround him with as much talent as possible, which could mean an exit from the franchise for the combo forward.
