Nuggets Shopping Both Nurkic & Faried want backcourt help...

Rozier and a non Nets first for Nurkic.

I don't think either of these players really moves the needle for the Cs. I think the C's either need to target a true difference maker or get a small stop gap to help them in their areas of need the maintain their flexibility for the draft/FA.

Of the two, I'd rather Faried.  He can really rebound and help us with hustle and energy scoring inside, on lobs, pnr, etc.

His main drawback is that he is signed for another 3 years at 12m per year.

But he would certainly help us with our rebounding issues.

Nurkic just seems to be a more experienced but less talented Zizic, so that move probably doesn't make sense for us.

It all depends on the price.  If we are swapping Amir Johnson or Zeller and a 2nd or low 1st for Faried, I'd probably do it.

But we do decrease our trade options for matching salary in the future.

Rozier and a non Nets first for Nurkic.

While we have too many small sized guards I am for waiting to see who stands out from IT , Smart, Rozier and Bradley.  Yes its in order IT, AB, MS then TR.  If the right deal comes along I'm fine with trading any but Ainge has some thinking to do on any/all before a trade.
