The Missing Piece: The case for acuiring Jusuf Nurkic as our Starting Center

[Irish Stew]

If you want something of value you have to give up something of value, not a JAG and two mediocre to bad 1st round picks. Start considering a deal constructed around Smart if you really want Nurkic.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't both Nurkić and Jokić played in the same leauge as Zizic. From what I'm reading Zizic was one of the best centers in the leauge last year and he even led the league in reboujnding. He's performing this year as statistically one of the best center prospects in the history off the league.  it looks like he's out performing both Nurkić and Jokić and doing it st a younger age.  Why trade for Nurkić or Jokić when we already have Zizic.

Kevin pelton said the #3 pick was equal value for nurkic.  That was before we used the pick on Jaylen... Jaylen has less trade value than that #3 pick.  The sad part is that nurkic went one pick before James young and we couldnt find a single team to give us a 2nd rounder for young.  Bummer.

I'll wait, I like Zizic!!

Zizic is still growing and still developing his game.  He could be a beast.
