They moved on from Nurkic because he didn't fit on the court with Jokic and they wanted to find a guy to fit alongside him. Nurkic wanted out as well, and was asking for a trade. He was clearly the second choice behind Jokic.
Plumlee didn't fit Portland long term with all the crazy money they have outlayed and him being an RFA. Nurkic gives them one more year cost controlled, then he is either traded away or they have to move a lot of other pieces. Denver has cap space coming out the wazoo, but have a hard time signing free agents
That deal was two guys who didn't fit on their teams but had value to the other party
