Four potential destinations for Yusuf Nurkic

Portland and three other teams are in the game

Basketball player Portland Trail Blazers Jusuf Nurkić will become a restricted player on July 1, or will be able to negotiate with other NBA teams, and his current team if he wants to keep him must equalize the money offer. Although Nurkić wants to remain a member of Trail Blazers, they are likely to will not be able to offer the maximum contract that BiH Basketball wants, so it is certain that he will change this club this summer.

For now there are four potential destinations where the Bosnian Beast could play next season. In addition to the current team, they are the teams of Dallas, Washington and Atlanta. In Dallas Mavericks, they announced a quest for a qualitative center this summer. Their main wishes are DeAndre Jordan and DeMarcus Cousins, but the question is whether the elite centers will be interested in coming to this team. The option for Jordan and Cousins is Nurkić's engagement, ready to offer a two-year $ 32m deal to resolve the issue of the center at least for a certain period.

The center is also needed by the Atlanta Hawks team. Dewayne Dedmon will surely leave the team from Georgie, and the team's leadership asks for a "five" to match with the brilliant John Collins. They are willing to offer some less money, but $ 39 million for three seasons does not sound so bad for a BH basketball player and it is safe to make room for further progress in Atlanta. The Washington Wizards are also looking for a new center. However, they must first find a way to get rid of Poland's Marcin Gortat, who is no longer wanted by the main star of the John Wall team, and it is certain that there will be a change in the starting center position.

However, money could refuse Nurkić from a team from the United States capital. They are able to offer him $ 8.6 million per season and it is hard to expect him to accept this offer. It is also possible that other teams will be involved in the BH Center Engagement negotiations, but for now these four options (Portland , Dallas, Atlanta, and Washington) most obviously. Nurkić played really fantastic this past season and averaged 14.3 points and nine rebounds per game.
