Trade Have We Seen The Last Of Nurk?

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Yes, another trade thread, so go on your tirades about too many trade threads.

I feel like he has effectively sabotaged his trade value. I don't see anyone taking him off our hands.

Damn, sounds likely but I hope you're wrong....

 

[KingSpeed]

Would any team take him next week while still hurt?

Maybe, I mean calf strain may not be a deal breaker assuming complete physical etc. Slight decrease in value I guess.

Doesn't seem like a problem to me.

Anyone know when OG is supposed to return to action?

The teams that I've heard connected to Nurk:

Dallas
Charlotte
Toronto

We aren't getting anything good from those teams though. Dallas has a bunch of salaries but they're all mediocre players. Charlotte could maybe trade Oubre + Kai Jones + some other small salary, or Oubre + Plumlee. Pretty meh but kind of interesting.

Toronto needs a center, but they aren't trading any of their good wings for Nurk. It'll be like Boucher + Otto Porter or Boucher + Thad Young.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I doubt that a calf strain is not going to sabotage his trade value any more than OG being injured....again.
Nurk is expected back in another 7 games after a nice rest.

 

[riverman]

I'm not sure they'll sell low on Nurk...I'd guess off season if they move him but they pretty much will need a better center back in return and that's not easy to find Ant might bring you a center but they seem attached to the kid.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I only voted yes because I'm hoping but I actually don't believe my own bullshit. Hahahaha!

What does that remind you of?

If the Last Of Nurk is half as good as the Last Of Us we'll have no problem trading him.

 

[Hoopguru]

Some players get hurt right before the trade deadline

 

[riverman]

If I'm Chauncey I'd give Nurk the Roco treatment and bring him off the bench....start Drew and see if he accepts the bench role or whines his way out of Portland until he proves he's willing to run with the pack and stay engaged....in the words of Chauncey....put an address on it

I was saying that it is his play, not his health, that has diminished Nurk's trade value.

hopefully, its for the best

PORTLAND, Ore. (February 3, 2023) – Jusuf Nurkic left Wednesday night’s game at Memphis in the first quarter with a left calf injury and did not return. An MRI conducted on Thursday revealed a left calf strain.

Nurkic is expected to return after the All-Star break.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Nurkic is expected to return after the All-Star break.

Dammit, there goes his chance to play in the all star game.

 

[andalusian]

Can he still participate in the rising stars game?

I am not the biggest Nurk fan on this board, and even I thought he looked good in January. So no IMO he has not diminished his trade value. The better question is .....has he ever had any?

Of course he had. There are rumors some were willing to give Mason Plumlee and a 2nd round pick for him.

First half of january he looked good, but he's been pretty bad the past couple weeks. Since 1/17, he's averaged 8/6 and 3 fouls in 20mpg on 44% shooting (10/7 in 23mpg on 45% shooting if you exclude the 2 minutes against Memphis).

 

[Cugel]

I don't see many teams lining up to pay that 15M/year tab.

 

[wizenheimer]

after this season it's 18.1M/year

That would be crazy!!!

Imagine trading plumlee for nurk, then trading nurk for plumlee a few years later!!!

That would be just nuts!!! Lol.

Maybe but 3 games ago he had a monster game. Albeit it was against SA with no center. But still, that stat line was great
10-14, 2-4 from three, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals....that would not hurt his trade value

18M is not thaaat much anymore in todays NBA

Actually i was thinking of a 3 team trade with Dallas and Utah

We get Vanderbilt and Olynyk
Dallas gets Nurk, Beasley
Utah gets Bertans,Bullock,Watford an unprotected 1st from Dallas

the differential between Nurk & Plumlee's salary is too much and I don't see realistic deals between the two teams that can bridge the gap while keeping Portland under the tax line

Plumlee is a limited player but he does a lot of things well. More than that, he is much more consistent than Nurkic. He's an expiring contract and will be 33 this summer. But I kind of like the thought of exchanging Nurk's 18M/year deal this summer for Plumlee + Eubanks at 10-11M/year

Nurk + Winslow for Plumlee + Oubre (who is injured right now) works but it puts Portland 2M over the tax line. Adding Keon keeps Portland out of the tax but it's a risk because Winslow & Keon are the only two 'backup' PG's on the roster

so then, how many here would say yes to Nurk + Winslow + Keon for Plumlee + Oubre?
