Nurkic won't be available. Him and Jokic can play together too as Jokic is pretty versatile and works well as a power forward (he also has the shooting range to stretch the floor). We may as well go for Embiid.

Jokic absolutely does not work well as a power forward.
 
Bump!

This thread made it to the 3rd page because the Blazers are on a winning streak now?
 
Keep an eye on Denver. They've been reeling as of late. And their roster is even more flawed than ours.

They also have a guy in Nurkic who would fit seamlessly with ours

Question is what would they want? They look set at SG so probably not Crabbe. Maybe Vonleh? Could develop him like they did with Barton. Works money wise. Vonleh and a protected first for Nurkic? I don't see how Vonleh will get the proper playing time to ever develop in Portland, so might as well use him to fill a need, and Nurkic is only 22 plus under long term control.
 
I would even sacrifice another first if that's what Denver wanted. Our first, clevelands first and Vonleh. Nurkic is worth it. That's our starting center for the next eight years or whatever, and we won't have to pay him for another three.
 
he does have an awesome nic name The Bosnian Bear!

Yesss. I also love how he plays with an edge. We need a guy that's not afraid to talk that shit on the floor. The guy just checks too many boxes for olshey to not aggressively pursue him, and I'm sure Denver would be down to deal with him again.

Nurkic would be an instant fan favorite, no doubt in my mind. Just wait till he tells deandre to go fuck himself.
 
makes me curious how much of his shit talking is in his home language and how much is broken English.
 
so I am spending my lunch watching some video of him and I absolutely love this


also, looks like he has a nice quick trigger from mid range, can muscle it in, and pretty decent passer as well.

Yup, to me he's a Cousins lite, which is why I prefer Nurkic over anybody but Cousins. I may actually prefer Nurkic when you take the contract situations in account.

Not with the contract situation. Dieng is already tied up on a reasonable deal, while Noel would be up for a (presumably large) extension this summer and put us into luxury tax.

His numbers seem pretty pedestrian. Noel has much better upside I think.
 
Lillard
McCollum
Harkless
Aminu
Nurkic

Ohhh weeee.

I'd also love to have jameer Nelson. Gives us a legit backup pg so CJ never has to run the offense. Good shooter. Good in the clubhouse.

Something like

Vonleh, Davis or Plumlee or Ezeli's contract, two first round picks, Napier for Nurkic, Nelson, and a second or something.

What about this?

POR Gets: Nurkic and Nelson

DEN Gets: Vonleh, Napier, '18 CLE & POR 1st, "3rd Team's" 1st Round Pick

3nd Team Gets: Plumlee

Sign me up, and I'm assuming you mean we get Nelson, lol

Three first round picks and Vonleh would be a fucking HAUL for Denver though.

Yeah I meant Nelson. The 3rd team would likely be a playoff team looking for a backup C (Toronto, Cleveland, San Antonio, Golden State, Boston?) So the pick would be low, but probably more valuable to Denver than Plumlee since theyd be trying to clear their Center logjam.

Yeah, but it's more of Nurkic and jokic being two starting centers that can't coexist than an actual logjam. They would still need a backup center no? That's where someone like Ed Davis could help, someone who knows and accepts his role.

Good point. I don't like trading Davis though because I view him as a PF. I wouldn't want 2 of Nurkic/Leonard/Plumlee playing together at the same time but it would have to happen if we traded Davis. I'd prefer we gave them Leonard (which might actually make more sense for them since they need shooting)

Would they bite on this?

POR Gets: Nurkic and Nelson
DEN Gets: Leonard, Vonleh, Napier, 2018 POR 1st, 2018 CLE 1st?

We'd have:
Lillard/Nelson
McCollum/Crabbe
Harkless/Turner
Aminu/Davis
Nurkic/Plumlee

I like Nurkic but we are giving away too much for him here. Besides I don't see the points of Napier for Nelson. Who benefits from that?

Portland gets a good locker room guy and a legitimate back up point who can come in and run the offense, freeing up CJ. Also gives the team another outside shooter. Denver sheds his salary and goes younger with Napier who they can develop behind mudiay. I believe we are a serious playoff team with Nurkic, so a vet like Nelson would come in handy.
