Not close. We don't value Nurkic remotely similar to how you do, and Gallo is an FA in 40 games. Strong pass.

Boston wants to trade for stars, not just 'good' players. We're not going to trade one of our three best assets for another 'good' player that makes us no more competitive with Toronto, let alone Cleveland or Golden State.

Trade Rozier and a pick for Nurkic. Sign Hayward. Then you have Nurkic, Horford, Hayward, AB, IT, Crowder, Brown, Smart, Fultz. I suspect Crowder gets moved though...

Denver fans value Nurkic way more than that. One on the trade board argued that Nurkic was worth more than the BKN18 pick. Their very wrong about him, but that's their prerogative.

They don't get it and never will. Nuggets are in one of the worst situations of any team in the league. With role playing, cap-clogging vets, and 4th tier young prospects, they are on track to be in 20th place from now until the end of time.

TBH, I'd love for him to fail (look at my location again if you don't understand why), but Jokić is a legit All-star talent.

Give Denver Brad Stevens and they're above .500.

Nurkic is comparable to Smart in defensive/offensive stats, but he's not being well-developed. Mudiay and Murray are as good as any young player in our pipeline, in terms of raw ability and upside. And Jokic is very good.

Like, a lot depends on context, system, role, usage, development.

I don't understand why Denver hasn't done a full rebuild (Gallo, Faried, Chandler out) when they're losing so much anyway. But their young players are all solid - if Murray, Mudiay or Jokic were in Boston you'd all be hyping the sh*t out of them, or hyping their trade value.

We should be throwing assets for Jimmy Butler. He's the third star we need. Plays both ends of the court; what more do you want?

If the Pistons continue to plummet, how long before super-humorous Stan calls Danny and says he'd be reluctantly willing to deal from the "Untouchable List" for a certain Brooklyn based asset?


No one on their roster is worth the 2017 or 2018 BKN pick.

Drummond is.

I'm not sure. Have you seen the stats- he has sucked this year- big time! Like literally, big time. They give up something absurd like 10 pts a game less when he's off the court. :x

That's one thing I have been wondering about for a while. I'm not saying they need to trade with us or anything. Just saying that they should've traded Gallinari/Chandler and Farried for some asstets. The past 2 years they have been winning meaningless games- worsening their draft position. Their FO is full of ****.

To be fair, Ainge did the same thing in his first rebuild - the Gary Payton rental, the Antoine rental, keeping Pierce. The point is that your young players don't develop in a vacuum without experience or professionalism around them - like Noel and Okafor. And they play more meaningful minutes, if the team is just good enough to stay in some games, or at least the first quarter or two.

Even the Lakers loaded up this summer with Mozgov, Deng.

Denver also lucked out in having Murray slip to 7, and Mudiay (who was talked about as a potential no. 1 pick) being available the year before. And trading the McDermott pick for Harris/Nurkic was a brilliant deal.

What's really troubling with Nurkic is his lack of improvement. Notably, his ft % has gone from .636 to .616 to a low of .524 this year. Similarly his block and steal rate has dropped while turnovers have gone up every year. Based on this it seems that he is not a hard worker which is probably why Denver wants to get rid of him. Also, it doesn't make sense to spend any assets on him when we have an better player in Zizic coming in next year who has been lauded for his competitiveness and work ethic.

He's been injured, you can't work hard when you're injured. Could be a nice developing player for someone. But things move fast - he's a year and a half away from restricted free agency, and we're likely going to bet on Zizic instead.
