Denver is trading center Jusuf Nurkic to Portland according to Adrian Wojnarowski in exchange for Mason Plumlee

By Euyrohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

The Bosnian big man and a 2017 first round pick from Memphis will end up in Blazers‘ hands in exchange for Plumplee and a 2018 second round pick.

Nurkic has lost his starting spot in Denver after the vast improvement of Nikola Jokic and his role has diminished. Things are expected to change for him in Portland which needs a boost in the front line.

Plumplee will be a free agent in the summer, while Nurkic has a contract until 2018.
