My Choices after the latest developments around the NBA:
Yusuf Nurkic = Center
Marvin Bagley = Power Forward
If Lilliard is moved, Nurkic could be a buyout candidate. I assume the Mavs could be a likely target since he is close to Luka.
Based off the tea leagues these are the guys the Mavs will likely part with:
Willie Cauley-Stein
Moses Brown
Tre Burke
Dwight Powell
Josh Green (Possibly but I would keep him)
*THJ (He should be on the list but likely isn't)
I have no idea if Nurkic can play with KP. Personally, I prefer finding a real good PF with the resources I have left and then find a Mcghee type as our fourth big. But, I guess in the end I want to find the best player I can and then figure the rest out later
I think Nurkic is a legit option, maybe not now, but sometime that I keep coming back to. Maybe he is never the same player again. But maybe he is a guy who sort of slips through the cracks, signs a reasonable contract, and 2 years from now we all wonder how he signed for 12-14 million a year.
I don't think he is bought out, but I think there is a solid chance he is either moved by the deadline or does not return to Portland next year.
