But, what happens when he’s put in the PNR against a small ball team?

They would certainly target him, but Nurkic is also a guy capable of punishing small ball lineups. So I think it is difficult to judge before it is seen. In any case, at 12 mil per year it is not really tragic if he gets played off the court.

However, as Killer mentioned, I am also more sceptical about Luka-CJ-THJ combination. Not a lot of defense there. I would rather go THJ-Brunson (and whatever salary fillers) for CJ. I doubt Portland would do it, though.
