The Blazers Have Traded Mason Plumlee and a 2018 Second Round Pick to Denver for Jusuf Nurkic and a 2017 First Round Pick. This trade not only brings a new face to Portland, but now Portland has Three First Round Picks in this years draft.
Nurkic is a big man that could give Portland consistent interior play. He brings youth, a manageable contract, and INTERIOR SIZE to Portland. Nurkic is a potential monster that can bang down low for buckets. His size and age spell nothing but potential for this new direction for the Blazers.
