I hate this team without Nurkic

[Mediocre Man]

Bogut doesnt seem to be working out in Cleveland. maybe we can get him on the cheap. Or maybe a trade for Crabbe, as Cleveland wants more shooters.

Bogut broke his leg like a few seconds into his first game. I think they waived him already

Turner is garbage in an offense that relies on 3 point shooting and spacing.

Not really. Shaun Livingston plays in a pace-and-space offensive system and isn't garbage. Turner is Portland's Livingston, with very similar strengths and weaknesses. The problem is not that Turner is "garbage" (he isn't), it's that he's making like 3x the amount Livingston is.

Not for me, but whatever

SL has taken 66 3 pointers in his entire career. He also shoots 55% from the floor

ET has taken 118 3 pointers this year, or 2 per game, and has made 26% of them. He only shoits 47% from the floor.

Not close to the same player

They're very similar, though very different body types. They're both good ball-handlers and passers, good mid-range shooters, good defenders and capable of posting up smaller players. Neither has a three-point shot. Asking Turner to shoot three-pointers is misusing him, just as having Livingston fire up two three-pointers a game would be misusing him. If Turner shot as few three-pointers as Livingston, his field goal percentage would be above 50% too.

I want to go back and watch the Nurkic games again!

Just wondering how you came up with this opinion? Is this something you read? The guy played like 20 seconds. How can anyone get a feel for how he fits with Cleveland?

My point. He didn't work out to be a part of their push. Not sure if they feel like they need him.
