    With moves like that, Nurkic is going to lead the team in technicals.

    Vonleh could use some Zach Randolph tutelage. As long as it's limited to on the court.

    Maybe Kaman comes back as a Big man coach.

    His second technical will probably put him in the lead.

    I noticed a couple guys on here speculated that Nurkic was a pretty good shot in the 16-20 range. I just thought I would check on that, at least in 2016-17, not true. Shot 25% in the 8-16 range, 23% in the 16-24 range.

    OK, found 2015-16, much better 37% 8-`16 feet and 44% 16-24 feet.

    (Was he really dogging it this year?)

    He got a Tech for that. I'm sorry, saying that was unsportsmanlike is to close to judging intent. I would've just called a Delay Of Game Warning. It let's him know to simply stop touching the ball when it goes through the hoop.

    You wouldn't consider that taunting?

    Same chance as Plums I would bet. As in possible but not likely.

    Yes, they both have to pass their physicals and the league office has to formally approve the trade. The timing is tight, but it could happen.

    Yes it could happen but if he plays it won't be much. I guess come down to how much can cram into him with the play book if he plays tonight.

    Sort of but not tech worthy IMO. He must've said something too.

    Exactly, Terry will need some time to trust him.

    You should be his agent! It's not like there wasn't another player standing right there to hand the ball to...

    That's a tough one. Maybe a warning is enough to keep things from escalating, but nothing nips it in the bud quicker than a tech. The guy flopped and the ref presumably swallowed his whistle, so it was already a clean slate before Nurk did whatever that was.

    Is there such a thing as passive-aggressive taunting?
