Yeah what? Denver had to pay to dump Nurkic and a team with no good bigs? Granted the Memphis pick is gonna be early 20s but drat

Plumlee is a wash on offense, but he sets good screens and can pass. On defense he is very active and can protect the rim (don't know the numbers so feel free to contradict me). He should basically fit into their system like a much bigger Faried

Plumlee is a good passing big that should pair better with jokic imo Denver giving up a first was dumb though

They're not "paying" to get rid of Nurkic, they're paying 20-30 draft slots to exchange him with Plumlee which I do 10/10DeimosRising posted:So he can play the 4 effectively then? I thought he was more of a small ball 5 but I haven't watched much portland

Plumlee and Jokic on defense might give Malone a heart attack but hey whatever let's get weird.

This move might be enough to guarantee Denver the 8 seed. Remember this is the Plumlee that learned the art of illegal screens from KG in Brooklyn.

Den can at least run 48 mins now with similar centers which should help them build their team.

I'm sure GarPax will make a totally competent decision here and not just make a move to try and pretend they know what they're doing to avoid being fired.

Whether you're trading him because you think he'll fetch too much as a free agent or because you're all in on this draft, it just makes your previous off season work look terrible

I think it is a good move to avoid a sunk cost fallacy. If your dumb moves didn't work, get future assets as best as you can(while avoiding the lux tax another year).

I mean yeah their last off season was a trash fire and no one can tell if they're tanking or trying to compete, but like in isolation it seems solid.

He was gone in the off season anyway though right? Is capitalizing now and getting another first not a good move? There's never been a player I've gone from hate to love in such a short time, gonna miss his sweet passes.
