Merged: |0fficial| Trade Deadline

Yeah, but you also specified solid defense. Russell, Okafor and Booker were all awful on the defensive end.

 

Nurkic with 8 minutes tonight, none in the second half. What is Denver waiting for?

 

Probably a good offer. They may want to move him, but they may not want to give him away for free.

 

They certainly are killing his value. Kinda like how we killed Leonard's value by keeping him after the Memphis series (hindsight is a bitch).

 

I dont see how offers are going to get better the less he plays and the closer we get to the deadline. The market will just get more flooded, especially with bigs.

 

It's not hindsight. I was posting in his 2nd year that we should trade him fast to get a late 1st, because some teams hadn't caught on yet and would go by his draft rank. Some on the board didn't think we could get that much, even then.

 

It just depends on how desperate they are to get rid of him. If they're not desperate, they'll just hold onto him and play him as much as they think helps the team and wait for a team to offer something they consider reasonable.

They may not be trying to raise or kill his value--they might just be running their personnel the way they would normally while letting people know that Nurkic is available.

 

There killing is trade value if they up his trade value play the guy. Right now they might get player lower 1st or a 2nd. But closer to the deadline there going get less value for him. Or they can wait for the draft to see if they can get a 1st round pick for him in the deep draft.

 

So, Aminu-level? But with upside.

 

It has been reported, probably several times now, that Olshey is not interested in trading for Cousins and Noel due to character issues. I get the character issues with Cousins, and agree. His issues appear to be locker room issues, not what we want. HOWEVER.

Where did the character issues that Noel is supposed to have come from?

The only thing I have heard is he wanted to play more. And when he does play more, he proves he should be on the floor. Is that a true character issue worthy enough to not trade for him??????

Guess I am questioning how legitimate the reports are on Noel's issues, and where did they originate? What am I missing here??

 

If you mean Noel, I assume they're based on this.

 

I not sure I put a whole lot of stock into these or think they make someone a character risk but here are some:

Could be NO/agents deverting interst away. Hope so

 

Your right, my spelling is wrong, I meant Noel.
Thank you for the friendly tuneup. I will edit my post.

 

Ok, I missed those reports. That is what I was looking for.
Thank you.

 

A Top-55 protected 2nd round pick.

 

"Suzanne and William Bredt allege that Noel left $42,000 in damages and "a Halloween tombstone as a death threat against litigation."

OMG!!!! He left a Styrofoam Halloween tombstone as a death threat! Hello PapaG, better call your attorney!!!

BNM

 

Top 10 as in Top 10 Protected...

 

The Suzanne and William Bredt complaint against Noel was written by an attorney trying to get as many $$$$ out of the law suit as possible. To say attorneys exaggerate their claims when filing lawsuits would be too kind.

There is nothing in the lawsuit that says Noel caused the damage or used drugs. As someone that has had rentals in the past. Damage to rental property is often done by others that visit, not always by the actual renter.

Noel maybe guilty of using bad judgment when picking friends. But nothing in the lawsuit claims he used the drugs or damaged the property. Only that he is responsible for the damage to property he rented. Everything else including drugs and tombstone has been thrown in to make him look bad.

Has Noel ever tested positive for drugs?
