We can decide which one to keep at the end of the year
I forgot to comment on this during the game but no thank you on Nurkic. I think he is a good player and a better player than Naz obviously but I don't think Kat and Nurkic can legit play together defensively and be successful. So if Nurkic won't be in our closing lineups I don't want to spend assets and future assets in terms of cap space to acquire him.

Yeah, it's tough to thread the needle on the right big for this team. We can't have a guy that expects a consistent 25MPG and big contract which means lots of time playing next to KAT. On the other hand, we don't just want a big body with minimal skills. The ideal situation is a backup legit big that sets great screens, great defensive rebounder, and has soft hands to finish around the rim off rolls, etc. yet costs less than $10M per year. Not sure if that guy is even out there to be had.

Sounds like Greg Monroe to me. My guess is he will be available again in a few days. I don't think he is the defensive presence we might need but he has most everything else plus is a really good passer which you won't get from guys that will cost what he costs.

I would like Adams but don't think the Grizzlies would trade him. Big reason for their success this year
