Please Danny bring him in!! I'm going to be honest there a lot of good prospects on the market right now and I'm going to be highly disappointed if we don't make at least one move.
What are some trades we can make for Nurkic that make sense?
On the Nuggets blog they said
Nuggets get:
Avery Bradley
Celts get:
Barton and Nurkic
Bradley is a huge piece for us so I'm not so sure, but what do you guys think a good trade would be
Bradley for Nurkic? Are you serious?
In fairness to the Nuggets blog, Will Barton is a decent NBA wing who's signed through next season at $3.5 million. He shoots 39% from 3, is probably a bit better ball-handler and passer, and while not as skilled defensively, is a bigger defender at 6'6". He's not as good as Bradley, but he'd be in the rotation for sure. He and Nurkic are signed through next season at a combined $6.5 million -- that's $2.3 million more that could go to free agency next season.
It's not a trade the Celtics should make, as we should be combining our assets for higher quality ones as opposed to ones of higher quantity, but it's not completely ridiculous either.
