There was a world in which Nurkic got in shape, played well, and earned one more contract. This world where he's indifferent to playing basketball and collecting his last NBA contract is ideal for the Jazz. It's one of the reasons why I've been interested in trading in him for awhile, he doesn't seem too interested in playing basketball or extending his career.
Perfect situation would be to send him home, get a prospect C on roster, and then just waive him at deadline if no trade materializes. Everyone wins.
