What about a Nurkic for Rozier and picks swap? Salaries match. 


Maybe Minny's 2017 2nd rounder and two 2019 first rounders (Celtics, Clippers, or Grizz) ???

The question is, do they demand the 2017 Nets pick. I don't think so - they put themselves in a must sell position.

3 way team trade Nurkic goes to the Kings, and we get Boogie lol.

Nurkic was a mid-first rounder and while he's shown he can play, he hasn't shown nearly enough to elevate his value to a top-5 pick. They could demand all they wanted but we'd laugh them off the phone.

To me Rozier and maybe a low #1 is plenty (i think Zeller and Rozier and a 2nd would be better). That way they get a backup C also to replace Nurkic in their lineup.   

Nurkic doesn't have the shooting. lateral quickness or ball skills to be special but he takes up space is a good rebounder, and rim protector which are some of our biggest weaknesses.

That's not the question. That pick is one of the most valuable things in the NBA. Why would they?

I don't see why people like Nurkic so much. Seems like a relic in today's NBA. Then again, I don't watch Denver very much at all.

Bingo.  His weaknesses make him a rotation big, not a player versatile enough to play starter minutes.  Rozier and a non Brooklyn 1st is the most I'd offer.  Would rather someone like Mickey goes.

Quote from: Zach Lowe today
It's not happening right now for the other half of the (mostly) dead Jurkic pairing. With Kenneth Faried rejuvenated, Nurkic is hurting for playing time. Perhaps the main reason: his hideous turnover rate.

The Bosnian Beast has coughed it up on 20 percent of the possessions he has finished with a shot, drawn foul, or turnover -- a gargantuan number for a big man. Only 10 guys 6-foot-10 or taller have ever tossed away so many possessions while hoarding as large a share of offense as Nurkic.

A lot of these gaffes are just careless. Nurkic is huge, and bowls over defenders in the post -- putting him at high risk for charging calls. He has slippery hands. He loves flicking fancy one-handed passes to cutters, but he often misfires or hits their legs.

He also loves hitting people. Sometimes he backs into a post-up with such force, the collision jars the ball loose.

Nurkic should be an efficient player. He's shooting 51 percent, he's a good passer, and he can bulldoze to the rim almost whenever he wants. But coaches won't trust him until he buttons up.
