Chandler might not be going to Italy after all

Last week, it appeared that Nuggets restricted free agent Wilson Chandler was on the verge of an interesting deal to play in Italy during the lockout.

But according to Chandler's agent, via SI.com, that deal appears to be off. And instead of Italy, it might be China. Which of course is intriguing because of that whole no NBA opt-out thing China has.

Quite a risk from Chandler, if indeed true. He'd be better big on the NBA season not happening because no matter what China was willing to offer, it wouldn't be near the deal he'd be likely to get from an NBA team. Already even if Chandler doesn't get an offer, the Nuggets would owe him $3.1 million and it's unlikely he'd get a contract in China touching anywhere near that.
