Jusuf Nurkic hopes to finish the season with the Jazz, but…
The author of his best game of the season on Tuesday, with a “triple-double” (16 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists) in win against Rudy Gobert and Minnesota, Jusuf Nurkic is a player of Jazz who has the best chance of being traded, by the “trade deadline” on February 5th.
Indeed, a few months before his contract expires, and with an annual salary of $19.4 million, the Bosnian would be enough to interest a team looking to downsize next summer.
Especially since he can also contribute athletically, with a new double-double average (10.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals) and solid screens (4.7 screen assists average, no one better than him in the NBA), in the heart of his twelfth season in the big leagues.
Transfer or redemption?
Even if he became a starter again afterwards the blessing of walker KesslerJusuf Nurkić therefore has no guarantee that he will stay inUtah.
« I don’t know (what will happen). I obviously love being here and it’s been a great experience so far, so I hope to continue the adventure here for a long time. But we can’t really control things » he reminds First of all. ” Being at the center of transfer rumors isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing. There is little in between. But if it were up to me, I wouldn’t leave and I would finish the season with the Jazz. »
A veteran of the Mormon locker room, along with Kevin Love, George Niang and Kyle Anderson, Jusuf Nurkic already calls himself ” Jazz for life », after having only landed in Salt Lake City last July. However, it seems his days are numbered and, like Chris Middleton in Washingtonthe buyout could hit the table quickly if not passed, recently wrote ESPN.
History allows him to join a more ambitious team at age 31, which we know has never made it past the first round of the playoffs.
