Oram: “I’ve heard some talk about the Blazers and Ayton, but more as potentially a third piece in a deal that facilitates DeAndre Ayton to Dallas—Ayton to Dallas was something I kept hearing in Chicago [combine]. I don’t know exactly what the Blazers are getting here, but getting off of Jusuf Nurkic. If Ayton goes to Dallas, I could see Nurkic having some appeal in Phoenix.”

So Portland with no center, kewl

We aren’t going to get off nurkic imo. He and dame are way to close. If he’s ever gone, it’ll be because either he wants out or we are getting an undeniable upgrade like embiid. Barring that, it just doesn’t make sense to spend resources to marginally upgrade the arguably least important position who’s also Dame’s best friend.

God Chris Paul will hate playing with Nurk so much

Facilitating a team in a similar position to ourselves getting better would be…interesting for sure

Nurk has no appeal in phx, suns need solid roll players, not a center that’s always hurt and on a bad contract. This is just dumb.
YoungSuplex
I’d imagine we’d just get salary filler in this scenario, which would not be ideal but that may just be Nurk’s value at this point

Nurk would be perfect in Dallas not Phoenix

Getting rid of Nurk would be huge for us.

Luka to Portland confirmed.

10th pick, Mcgee + filler (Bullock/THJ/Bertans) to Blazers
Mavs getting DA means 10th pick will be involved. There are rumors that they can use it to offload their bad contracts so there’s that.
I’m guessing Blazers wants 2 top 10 guys or they use it for a legit star like Embiid
