Should the Blazers re-sign Jusuf Nurkic this summer?

Nurk fever subsides and then relapses...y'all will be shaking with cold sweats again soon enough

 

you may be the biggest Nurk believer, even bigger than I am

 

I think bringing Nurk back is a no-brainer. Don't anticipate any teams will throw ridiculous $ figures at him this year, so we'll be alright. He's 23, improving as a P&R target on offense, and a defensive stalwart.

 

I think it's pretty obvious to see the potential Nurk has. That's why I think some team will offer him the max. He has the potential to be a franchise cornerstone center. We are lucky that we have 4 players with that kind of franchise cornerstone potential in my opinion.

 

I dont give a fuck about salary cap, he should be given max contract, if he doesnt get one, Im gonna riot!

 

Teams with projected cap spaces:

Atlanta: $14m - if they offer him all of their cap - the Blazers will match immediately.
Chicago: $37m - could offer max - with Rolo signed for 2 more years, doubtful he is their target.
Dallas - $18m - They have Mejri - but he is older, if they offer him all of their cap, the Blazers probably match
Indiana - $47m - could offer max - but with Turner on the roster, why would they?
LAL - $36m - could offer max - if they only get one of their key targets (say PG13 but not LeBron) - will they offer the Nurk a max or retain flexibility going forward?

So, before teams re-arrange their cap with trades etc... - I would say it is very unlikely the Nurk gets a max from anyone, and I suspect that the same is true for the Blazers.

They probably hope they can sign him for $15m or less, but will likely stretch a bit more - but would not surprise me if they do not go for the max.

(*) These numbers are based on projected cap at Sept 2017 - since there were enough trades since - they list might change a bit - but honestly, I have my doubts about anyone offering the Nurk a max unless he goes on a tear and posts a 20/10 run for the rest of the season.

 

Wrong question. Should have asked:

"How many diodes were burned in the riot?"

 

Exactly. The teams that do have space won't spend it on Nurk.

I predict we'll see a contract along the lines of the one Plums got last summer from Denver (3 yrs, 41 mil). And it will be a bargain.

I see the same for Patty C and Napier as well. This really is a horrible summer to be a RFA.

riots in my hometown 4 years ago

 

Isn't a one person riot is just vandalism or criminal mischief?

 

You are from Tuzla?

 

A signed Nurk/Hark and our number 1 for PG.....if he wants to leave OKC.....and says pdx is only team he wants to go to

 

No way is Nurk a max player, NO WAY! Contracts won’t be handed out like 2016 or even 2017 according to all these “insiders” on tv. I would commit to him at 15 mil per or less, over that then sign and trade him somewhere with our pick for a SF and let Ed get 14/14 in the starting unit.

 

But a poor decision maker.

 

If possible, I'd go in on that. The thunder already have adams, but frankly having a center duo of Nurk and adams sounds real nice for okc.
