    Nope. Talent may favor Boogie slightly, but he's older and he's still a head case.

    No. I can't imagine a center fitting in better than Nurkic has. There might be better centers out there, but I don't think there's a better one for Portland.

    That would be foolish. Nurkić actually plays defense.

    I love Nurkic, and I hope he makes me look foolish saying it this year, because that'll mean great things, but if you could get Boogie straight up for him, I'd make that swap.

    You have to consider it. If for no other reason, the injury factor

    Boogie was traded to New Orleans, and realistically didn't make a difference.

    Nurk gets traded to Portland and all the sudden they go from after thought to playoff team (that ended up being an after thought tho).

    The playoffs aren't a realistic measuring stick. We played a GSW team that killed everyone, and only had Nurk for 17 minutes of Game 3.

    On a positive note, we were +8 in those 17 minutes.

    NOP was 7-10 in the 17 games Cousins played, compared to 14-6 in the 20 games POR played with Nurk.

    Cousins has played 7 seasons in the NBA. In that entire time, has his team ever had a single 20 game stretch where they won 14 (or more) games?

    Cousins hasn't exactly been the paragon of health. In the last 6 seasons, he's missed 86 games, an average of 14.33 missed games per season.

    Of course, a few of those were due to suspensions...

    If we trade for boogie, there's no way for Meyers to look good a couple times a year, then we cant trade him..... then we're stuck with him..... then he gets another contract..... then....

    People thought I was crazy that I didn't want boogie, but no I still don't want him and wouldn't trade Nurkic for him. Boogies not a winner, and unless he goes through a ZBo type change he never will be.

    I'll take Nurk, thanks. Boogie is a great nickname though and I like him in a Rasheed type of way but I'll take the beast. Especially after seeing the pics of him getting shredded. Dude is gonna dunk on everyone
