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.
Nurk is on the last year of his contract unless you mean a S&T for him? You are probably about right on his value so that may be the only way the Mavs could get him. Maybe Portland would prefer Powell to nothing? We wont have any leverage (like we did this last offseason) becuse we can't operate under the cap. Still think this last offseason was a bust.
