According to previous reports, in order to avoid taxes, the Blazers may send away one of Covington, Nance and Nurkic. Recently, Nurkic accepted an exclusive interview with TA.
Commenting on his performance this season, Nurkic said: "Personally I think it has been the best season of my career so far. ”
Speaking about the Trail Blazers' goals this season, Nurkic said: "I never heard Cronin or anyone say we want to lose the game or who we want to let rest. No matter what, I will fight for victory. ”
Speaking about whether he thought he would be traded, Nurkic said: "Nothing is 100% but I think for the team, given my knowledge of myself as a player, I don't think I can be traded this season. I don't think that's any way possible. Obviously, as long as Lillard is still there, as long as we want to win, I want to be a part of this team. But if the team wants to go in a different direction, then I'm willing to do whatever they want to do. ”
Nurkic is averaging 14.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists this season.
