Suns Trade Nurkic

[Ring_Wanted]

Micic will not be in the rotation unless two guards ahead of him are injured. He's a cone who can't shoot, drive or do much of anything else. Objectively an interesting player because he'd probably be a significant contributor in Euroleague right now, but he's a nobody cashing checks for exercising in the USA.

Exactly. Was a superstar in Europe but is too limited physically to be relevant in the NBA.

PSA -- Never take someone seriously if they use "demon" in their social media post. In my experience, those are the most brain dead takes I've seen. For context, 2025 "demon" is 2022 "is a problem". It's all clickbait bullshit. Even that Micic post, the first play is him barely getting off the ground for a lucky layup conversion and that was two seasons ago as a "rookie".

Highlight reels like that are meaningless. You could do the same for Nurk.

NO BACKSIES CHARLOTTE

Now that they’re stuck with Mark Williams, they’ll fail Nurk’s physical.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if they find a way to do that. They very likely don't want Nurkic any more now that the Williams trade is rescinded. Maybe they'll come up with some made-up reason why he failed his physical or something like that to cancel out of the trade.

What a mess for charlotte.

And the Suns doctors can’t confirm the injury and we have a big legal mess.

Wonder if it’s a case that charlotte wants to undo the trade but we don’t haha. Now they got Williams back, no room for Nurk and he’d just be dead money even with the pick, plus he’s probably toxic. Nurk might not be worth it for them anymore. It sucks Cody Martin won’t probably ever play cuz of the injury but this move was done to get under the 2nd apron next year so I don’t think we care that much if Martin or Micic ever plays.

We should press for an extra pick

I wish. Since the deadline is over we are not allowed to amend the deal. :/

[Mori Chu]

I don't know the details about how trades get rescinded. Can either side do it if a physical is failed? Can a team just hire a sketchy doctor to claim that a physical failed and get almost any deal canceled if they really wanted to?

Where'd you get that selfie of specialsauce?

Looks like the other tweets I posted were deleted. We're in the clear?

Seemed like a lot of wishful thinking on the Hornets end.
