I wouldn't complicate the deal by bringing Barton into it. He doesn't seem like a 'Celtic' to me. He shoots and needs the ball to be effective. Does he play any defense? Honest question, I really don't know.
Just interested. On the front page of CB there's an article about Nurkic, the Denver SB page think Zeller and the MIN 2nd would be enough. I think Zeller might be kept on the chance that a trade can be done for a star on draft night, especially given we may have the 1st overall pick. So if the trade became;Bos gets: Barton, NurkicDenver gets: Jerebko, Mickey, Min 2nd, Det 2nd, Cle 2ndDoes that sound fair? Or would the addition of Barton warrant more going to Denver? I'm not sure I'd do the deal at all but value wise I'm interested.
If it'd really only cost some salary and the Minny 2nd for Nurkic, count me in. I knew they were trying hard to trade him, but I didn't realize it was that bad.Like others have said, though, I'd keep Zeller for trade bait around the draft for matching salary reasons. Young and the Minny 2nd for Nurkic works for me, though I'd still prefer a Boogie or Noel trade first.

Will Barton is one of those players, and Dempsey suggests Denver would have “no problem” landing a first-round pick for Barton. However, he has expressed interest in remaining with the Nuggets, and the team seems committed to keeping him.The Nuggets are more amenable to a trade involving Jusuf Nurkic, since he hasn’t been thrilled with his role – or lack thereof – this season. According to Dempsey, Denver is “most certainly” seeking a first-round pick in a deal involving Nurkic, though realistically it would have to be a late first-rounder."
