Nurse Trade Request Hits a Wall After a Rough Turn

The business side of the league does not slow down for leverage plays, and sometimes the answer comes back colder than expected. That leaves Nurse in a tricky spot, with the next move carrying real weight for both his camp and the team listening to the noise. In this league, once a request is out there, everybody starts reading the room a little differently.
