Terms of the deal are unclear, but Stein revealed that one possibility being discussed is a five-year deal worth $30 million, with the Nuggets holding an option for the fifth year of the contract.
Chandler recently returned from China. He did not sign a restricted free agent offer sheet with the Nuggets ahead of the March 1 deadline. That left Chandler with a choice between sitting out the season, playing in China or signing a deal with the Nuggets. He apparently chose the latter.

If he sits, Chandler will remain a restricted free agent, meaning that the Nuggets will be able to match any offer sheet that he signs with another NBA team. Restricted free agency serves to depress player salaries. The only way out of it for Chandler, assuming that Denver won’t sign him to a one-year deal now for the remainder of the season, is to take the Nuggets’ compulsory qualifying offer this summer, play out the 2012-13 season and became an unrestricted free agent in July 2013.

Chandler met with Raptors officials last week in Toronto, but they’ve apparently decided to pass on Chandler for the time being, according to the Toronto Sun’s Ryan Wolstat.
The Sun also reports that the Nuggets want to sign Chandler to a long-term contract, not just for the remainder of the season. If the swingman isn’t interested in that proposal, numerous reports indicate that he has a job waiting for him in Italy for the remainder of the season.

Chandler averaged 12.5 points and five rebounds for the Nuggets last season before being one of the first players to sign abroad during the extended NBA lockout. He averaged 26.6 points and 11.6 rebounds with Zhejiang Guangsha, but is now eligible to return to the Association.
It remains unclear whether Chandler is looking for a deal specific to this season or for a long-term contract extension.

It’ll be interesting to see how far the two sides get considering Chandler should have a few teams interested in his services, though it seems the Nuggets are the front-runners.

It remains unclear whether the Nuggets sign Chandler for just this season or to a long-term contract extension, but either way, Chandler is likely to stick in Denver even though his agent told Spears that several teams have expressed interest in his services. General manager Masai Ujiri told Spears that his “goal” is to re-sign Chandler.
