    Someone save Nurkic. Didn't play tonight against Phoenix, a team that plays two traditional centers most of the time.

    And now jokic is hurt. Didn't look good. Carted into locker room. But Nurkic still isn't in. Guessing that's because he hasn't played all game. If this is a long term injury, do the nuggets just roll with Nurkic? Malone doesn't seem to like him.

    Well I watched the game and there were stretches Suns were playing Tucker and Dudley at PF and C. Not really two Cs lineup. It's true though that Nurkic is completely out of the rotation.

    Now, after "my vets" show, Rondo goes or Butler goes I guess. And I always liked Rondos passing. I would prefer Stockton (but hate him), so Rondo I want Rondo.

    Rondo was GREAT when he had veteran leadership to help control him, but now that he's a vet there isn't any seniority that he will submit to. It's a shame, because he's a damn good player - but he's more of a lost cause than DMC.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Rondo's also declined a ton from his prime. If you want a good defensive/passing point guard who can't shoot and who's also perfectly fine in the locker room, Rubio is better than Rondo now, in my opinion. Rondo was a great player at his peak, but that's years in the rear view.

    I'd rather try and go after Butler, the Bulls will have to do something after the Rondo thing, although Rondo leaving is a lot more likely.

    Take 'em all. I suggested a Lillard+ for Rondo/Butler/Rolo deal a while back. I'd still do that...

    Trading Lillard would be a tough pill to swallow, but after this season I'm a lot more open to trading one of CJ or Lillard, especially with the PG heavy draft. I'd rather get a really good big man for one of them though.

    Well sure, but I'm just saying that a CJ/Butler backcourt would probably be more effective than a Lillard/CJ one has been, and it'd be nice to get RoLo back and have a real big man in the middle again.

    Never happen, but a man can always dream.

    Butler would be really nice after the defensive display we've seen this season.

    Did you not see the way he shit all over Dallas? They traded THREE useful players (Brandan Wright, Jameer Nelson and Jae Crowder) and two draft picks (a 1st and a 2nd) for that piece of shit and he pretty much single handedly destroyed their season. He was so disrupted, they suspended him and sent him home in the middle of a playoff series. Of course, they then let him walk for nothing and ended up giving up 3 players and 2 draft picks for 42 games of his pouting and antics.

    No thanks. No way in hell do I want that ass hat anywhere near our young players.

    The guy bitches about Butler/DWade going to the media with their gripes... on HIS own IG account.

    Height of hypocrisy, and too much of a drama queen for our squad.

    Pass.

    This is not true. I think most people in here want and have wanted a trade. Most want:

    Meyers
    Connaughton
    Festus, his contract, and the mouth that got shut down by CJ...

    Gone.

    And most wouldn't mind seeing:

    Aminu
    Davis
    Quarterman
    Crabbe
    Turner
    Vonleh (keeper IMO)
    Harkless (keeper IMO)

    Used in a trade.

    There have even been blasphemous and DISRESPECTFUL Dame trade scenarios (shame on you MFs... :dry:)

    I don't think most of us want to bake. I think most of us want to shake.
