Nurkic Trade

[Bigbrotheryeti]

I've got an idea here.  How about we send our 1st round pick next year, 2 2nds, Terry Rozier, and James Young for Jusuf Nurkic?

That immediately solves our rebounding problem (his rebounding % of 18.7 leads any Celtic by a country mile), helps our rim protection, and consolidates our assets.

For the nuggets, this gets rid of the front-court log jam, gives them another PG prospect, as well as a pick in a draft class laden with capable PG options.

Thoughts?

I don't think Denver does that.

[alldaboston]

They definitely dont do that.

[Granath]

I don't think Denver does that.

They might. Our pick next year (2017) is the exchange with Brooklyn. Nurkic has played 17 minutes a night the past two nights and played less than 20 3 of the last 4 games. Something is up in Denver and they might jump at the chance to land a likely top 5 pick in a loaded draft.

Your logic is sound but I don't think Denver does it.

Honestly I think the Brooklyn pick and Rozier is an over pay for Nurkic. This is such a great draft coming up and a Nurkic/Jokic front court hasn't been great so far this season.

It makes sense for them to deal Nurkic to positionally even out their roster.

However, since Nurkic is so young, I would expect them to shop Faried, Gallo and Chandler hard before dealing Nurkic.

Can Danny be relied on to draft a big ....a good one 

[The One]

Yes...he is a monster.

I would do this...and Denver would love the 2017 pick.

It makes zero sense for them to do a trade that leaves them with one center on their roster.  Their problem in the frontcourt is that they have too many power forwards.

Maybe we could do a 2 person trade and land Gallo too. I see Denver making a trade before the trade deadline. Hopefully we can move Amir and Zeller to match salary, too.

Nurkic is good but man, I just feel like Jokic is going to break out in a year or so.  I've been wrong before, but I am only interested in overpaying for Jokic

[Tr1boy]

If we overpaid a little we could get either  nurkic or jokic.. no pt for the nuggets to keep both for the long run

Neither can stretch the floor though, so not likely a fit under cbs

Even though they are not doing well, I think Denver likes the pieces in their core and are more interested in trying to land a major player instead of making a rebuilding trade landing future assets.

I could see Denver thinking that Nerlens Noel is a better fit next to Jokic than Nurkic is, so I would explore the idea of a trade that sends Noel to Denver and Nurkic to Boston, while seeing what needs to be sent to Philly.

Hmm, i was under the assumption that when OP said "our pick next year", that he meant the 2018 Boston pick. not this year's (2017's pick).

I think Kelly next to Jokic. Now, that's an interesting trade for both teams. Denver has the cash to pay Kelly next year.
