Someone in another thread scared me off the Nurkic idea and reminded me that before he was drafted he was known as a bit temperamental. But the injury thing is more worrying than that. Prefer Jokic or just keeping as is in the OP...which has a high degree of IF factor attached to it.
Re-cap of ifs:
1. A guy Danny likes as much as who he would take at 3 is there at 7 (in other words he's either meh on 3-7, or a big Jaylen Brown fan...the likely slider)
2. Denver has a guy or two they'd want to trade up to 3 for, and Danny takes said player at 3.
3. Danny can't swing a big deal for a star which includes the 3rd pick
4. Neither Simmons nor Ingram are available at 3.
