I wonder what type of salary Nurkic will demand this offseason. I would imagine staying healthy this year would give him more leverage. Those type of centers are weird on the open market. Sometimes they get a big bag, but other times they are squeezed a little. I don't expect he gets squeezed as bad as Dwight Howard or Andre Drummond got. But I wonder if he is a little over the MLE (10-14 million). I wonder if he is a trade target for Dallas this offseason giving Portland a small piece as they know Nurkic doesn't want to stay there.
