Not intending to kiss ass, but the Stiffs' site is one of the few I enjoy visiting as an outsider.

That out of the way, Portland is in desperate need of a solid interior defender.

Whiteside would be nice but we'd have to give up a fortune to Pat Riley. Nerlens Noel may be nice but some of us Portland fans have a weird paranoia when it comes to centers with a history of knee or foot problems.

Thus, Mr. Nurkic.

We have our own and Cleveland's first round pick for 2017, and our own first round picks thru 2081 or some year around there. We've (well some of us) have given up on this season and have fingers crossed that our first will be a lotto pick so we'd rather not trade that.

So is there any consensus here? Would Stiffs like to trade Nurkic? And if so, who on Portland's roster and / or draft picks would be needed to pry Nurkic away from the Nuggets? (Oh and the first Stiff who says Meyers Leonard will get a guaranteed rec from me).
