    I'd love to get Nurkic. He's a beast.

    Big men regress, and play further from the hoop, every year they play under Tater Totts.

    Yes but he was an overall guru, not really specified as the 'big man' coach like Moran and the guy that was Meyer's personal support system before him.

    Grgs was awesome!

    Yea I like this kid I don't know what happening in Denver I would trade for him. Nice touch around the hoop and Reb and block shots. Be great pick and pop he be perfect for us. Move Plum to the 4 and we be solid in the front court.

    There alot people don't like Okafor I am not one of them. Okafor to me can score any big in this league and he alot better blocking shots than people thinks. One thing he a great offense rebounder because of his strength. People wants Cousins well he not rim proctector either. This kid is only 20 years old. He would open our outside shooter up due to teams going to have about him at the low posts this is my opinion.

    He has some kind of syndrome. It's polite not to ask until he initiates the subject. I once asked Mediocre Man a direct question about his brain surgery and he checked out of the board.

    ...I'd take a flyer on Nurkic in a heartbeat, he is better than any other "big man" on the current roster (minus Plumlee of course)!

    No I have seen him play against Towns and Cousins and Whiteside he had great games against each of them. He held his own on the defense side. Everyone has his opinion and I got mind. He is strong kid with alot of off ense skills and he just learning the defense side. No he not Whiteside on block shots. But he gets his share a little over a block a game. He gets as many blocks per game as cousin. He shoots better Fg percent than cousins. Cousin right now get more rebounds per game.

    I think he was asking because of your grammar. Not your opinion.

    The realization that there isn't a trade out there that will get us to the 2nd round?

    I don't see what we have to trade Denver that they would want to give up Nurkic.

    They already have a ton of cap space, so Ezeli wouldn't be of interest. They do have the ability to take on one of our bigger contracts.

    Crabbe isn't enough of an upgrade over Gary Harris for them. Mo wouldn't fit their needs.

    Vonleh and Davis. Vonleh gives them a young PF to develop, something they don't have. Davis replaces Nurkic, and gives them someone who knows and accepts his role. We could even throw in clevelands pick.

    I think that would be the weakest offer among many they'll get.

    They have a 3 man F rotation that's already pretty good. They start Gallinari and Chandler at F and have Faried as backup.

    If anything, they may be asking too much so nobody deals with them.
