Myles turner

What would it take to get him? I would give a future 1st for him. I dont think theres a better fit at center for us.

I use to want him but he apparently is a big diva and his family are huge problems.

Better watch what you say about trading draft picks around here ! You’ll awaken a ton of crybabies who’s completely against that

I would take him at this point. We need talent PERIOD especially at the center position. He still pretty young too.

I like Turner. I really like Nurkic from Portland. When he's healthy with Portland having so many guys in luxury tax land or close to it I would love to trade for him. He's a more complete player than Turner who can completely disappear for stretches in games. Nurkic plays with an edge and would thrive with Trae like he has with Dame.

I completely forgot about this guy. I’d love to have him but why would Portland give him up? ....I’m betting they’re willing to go deeper into the luxury tax to retain their own player whenever his contract is up.

whiteside doesn’t make nurkic expendable in my book  but ya never know what may happen

As someone who follows every team pretty heavy, you are talking about a player who many PDX fans think is their 2nd best player, literally the only Blazer on an excellent contract and one that fits them perfectly available for trade? There is a reason most centers are never mentioned by me, most of their teams don't want to trade them unless they get a haul and an rebuilding team just ain't in the business of trading hauls for veterans. Minnesota did it and it set them back 3 years. 

When I say we have to avoid skipping steps, I mean it. We can't skip steps.

For the right guy you make trades to complete a roster. Nurkic would be the ideal center for this team. Portland can't keep everyone and we have chips to push in to try and get him.

I'm not saying we have to get him or we fail but I definitely think it is worth considering.

No matter what we get he has to be a solid rim protector and defender.
