Nurkic/Kuminga Trade Proposals Thread

Thee Jazz Fan said:
Some guys aren’t coachable. He’s one of them. I’m not a fan therefore it’s a no. We are in rebuild mode so why would we trade for him. It hurts the draft pick and takes development time away from still developing young players on this team. Hes not a winning player. The jazz hopefully learned their lesson on the Collins trade.

Ehh. I’m not so sure about this. Kerr has a pretty abysmal track record of developing players. I am not gung-ho on Kuminga, but I also think we don’t really know what’s going there and him being here would be a very different situation.

Fair, but you don’t think Kuminga takes time away from the young guys and doesn’t hurt the pick? Fact is we are no where ready to compete as a rebuilding team riddled with youth as the future of this team. They need time to mature and adding Kuminga muddies all that and it’s not like he makes us a contender over night. It also should be a red flag that he couldn’t get more time on a GSW team on its last leg.

He is a young guy. He would be part of the youth that the team is riddled with.
If he hurts the pick then that might mean we already got our guy.
Not much of a red flag that a super young guy who needs to develop didn't get minutes on a vet team trying to win.
I doubt any of our young guys would get minutes on Golden state last year either.
 
Don't think we have the right stuff for Kuminga. They'll want a vet who can help them win (who also needs to be paid less than JK). I'm ok taking a flier on him, but it would have to be some kind of 3 teamer where we trade a bad pick or something.

I don't think JK will work out, but I think there's a slight chance he's been held back and is actually as good as he thinks he is. His development has basically stalled after some highs and lows since his rookie year. Worth a late first maybe....idk.

Didn't seem like we had any interest in him, so I doubt it happens, but he would be a guy DA likes.

I would definitely like the jazz to go after kuminga. He is a freak of nature. Has a treasure trove of desirables that you can't teach.

If Hardy is The Guy as a coach and can teach him the things that CAN be taught then watch out.

Fish gets it.
 
For a reasonable price Kumiga is a worthwhile risk. The only problem is that he is mostly a 4. We have a lot of 4’s. So if we could move other guys for guards and have Bailey and Kumiga maybe you have something.
 
How about this instead:

Cody Williams straight up for Nick Richards. We need a backup or starting rim protector and they need another shooter.

We’re in desperate need of a rim protector and from his minutes and the backcourt logjam created with the WCJ pickup, we’ve all but given up on Cody anyway.

Why on earth would the Suns do that?

Before the deadline there will be many teams that could use a competent center and all of them would pay more than a negative asset for that.

GSW is about to be .500 through their first ten games. They should have (or should now?) make a real offer for Lauri.

They don't have the salaries to mechanically do this without giving up Draymond. They're off the table. The Heat are the obvious team, but we'll see as they have no picks and Riley and Ainge hate each other. The Heat would also have to send out Rozier whose contract is very complicated right now.
 
So far this season Kuminga is averaging 17.2 ppg on 51.4% from the field, 41.4% from 3, and 82.5% from the line. 7 rebounds. 3 assists.
Still just (barely) 23 years old.

The only thing the Jazz are in desperate need of is losses. So I don't think they need to go out and try to make themselves better while also ditching out on an as yet unproven commodity. This move isn't for me.

From my count they have about five or six centers and riding three or four of them on the bench while they attempt to win is no way to make a sale later on. Plus, i imagine that Cody is still a pretty attractive prospect for some considering his age and his pedigree.
