Jusuf Nurkic is #1 in the NBA in post up possessions per game

Even Nurk’s most ardent defender is turning on him. I have a feeling he is gone at the deadline.

Who is going to want him/his contract? You'd have to take back much less talent if you traded him.

Only hope would be some contender who lost their center to injury and are willing to pay long term for the chance to win this year.

Exactly. To get rid of him, you have to take on a guy making as much money (though one less year) who plays 7 minutes/game. Leaving the roster with no starting center.

Nurk is on a horrible contract. You would really have to sweeten the deal to get a team to take him. Or do something like a Bertans-like deal. Crap for crap.

...until we get Wembanyama!

Nurk may be very high in post ups, but his efficiency is mind numbingly poor in comparison to the others in that graph. #HolyRushedFlipShotBatman
