The Raptors have until Thursday to submit an offer sheet to restricted free agent Wilson Chandler. Don’t count on that happening even though he met with team management last week. The Raptors would love to have the versatile swingman who can both defend and score, but don’t have the cap space to submit an offer Denver would not match. Toronto Sun

Chandler’s options are to sign with the Nuggets long-term, return overseas to play out the year (this time in Italy, according to his agent) or to sign an offer sheet with another team this week. The Nuggets aren’t interested in signing Chandler only for the rest of the season, which would turn him into an unrestricted free agent this summer. According to sources, Toronto has balked at Chandler’s asking price, but has not completely closed the door if he becomes unrestricted and is willing to accept less money. Raptors president/general manager Bryan Colangelo has said in the past that he is interested in extended Barbosa, who will be unrestricted this season. Colangelo drafted Barbosa while running the Phoenix Suns. Toronto Sun

Luchey said "we're considering all options" and that it's realistic that Chandler could sign with a professional team in Italy this spring, in order to stay in shape and make some money. Chandler played in China during the NBA lockout and returned to the States this month. Denver Post

For example, the Raptors are trying to move Leandro Barbosa’s expiring contract ($7.6 million) in hopes of signing restricted free agent Wilson Chandler to a financial arrangement Denver might be reluctant to match. The Nuggets undeniably appreciate Chandler’s on and off-court qualities, but is he good enough to start at small forward? Hence, they’re not forced to go overboard as long as they’re bidding against themselves. New York Post

Jose has really bought into Casey’s system on both ends of the floor and that buy in has endeared him to his coach. “That is why we need Jose,” said Casey. “That’s the argument for him. He gives us stability. You need that leadership.” If the Raptors genuinely want to clear cap space, offering up Calderon would be a great first step because packing him along with other Raptors players into a deal would be an easy sell to other teams. The problem is the Raptors have just less than 7 days to consummate something before Chandler is locked into Denver. The Denver Nuggets have $47 million in salary commitments next season and $49 million the following season, so the real question is… how much would Toronto have to offer Chandler to get Denver to pass?
