Nurkic leaving?

[Labinot41]

 

[Natebishop3]

I'm glad someone is talking about changes.

 

[craigehlo]

Well he's under contract for another year.

 

[RonBrewer]

LOL Where is he gonna go?
Hopefully the big fella can stay healthy and we actually get him for a full year.

 

[MadeFromDust]

Wow.

I would say this will only speed up the Stotts firing.

 

[Strenuus]

Yeah stotts is all but gone. Olshey wants to keep nurk and to save his job will fire stotts.

 

[blazerkor]

Well he's under contract for another year.

Oh I think for sure he meant that he would be traded... not that he was demanding one.

 

[maxiep]

Everyone knows we're rebuilding in the mode of OKC and Houston.

 

[Hoopguru]

Lebron would live to have him.
Actually, i guess he already does.

 

[e_blazer]

I’d read that as Nurk just recognizing that he could be traded as a part of upcoming changes.

You think we'll trade Dame and start a youth rebuild?!? REALLY?

 

[Mr. Robot]

that statement from nurk clearly means that he dont want to play for terry stotts and that he wasnt happy with his role on the team

 

[SharpesTriumph]

The team needs to resign Powell.

The team needs to decide on the coach.

The team needs to decide on trading CJ; with Powell and the growth of Simons I don't know that we need him.

Then look at what to do with Nurkic; probably better to get something before he leaves for nothing if he will be unhappy.

But also fine to keep him if he buys into the changes, he is very effective when healthy.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Nurk played like 41 year old Kurt Thomas in this series.

Losing Nurk is a good thing

 

[maxiep]

You think we'll trade Dame and start a youth rebuild?!? REALLY?

I do.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Foolish to trade Nurk finally showing signs of what we thought we had. Finally finishing around the rim and huge difference maker on defense. If we aren’t rebuilding I think I’d build around Nurk, Dame, Powell and take a lot for me to trade Covington. Everyone else is up for right price

 

[Mr. Robot]

of course, but "wanting to be in the right situation" means he wasnt happy to play under terry stotts

 

[B-Roy]

If you watched the interview it was clear he didn't want to be back if we had the same coaching staff. That was the crux (or underlying tone) of all the answers he gave. He wasn't asking out because he gave up on the team, but he didn't agree with his role.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Well he's under contract for another year.

he is, but he can ask for a trade if terry stotts stays head coach and blazers can refuse his request

 

[craigehlo]

he is, but he can ask for a trade if terry stotts stays head coach and blazers can refuse his request

I don't think Nurk is the level of player you give a rat's ass about in terms of trade demands. He's a 2nd tier C at best.

and rightfully so, that moron stotts was using him as a fucking role player

That’s nuts did you see the numbers when he was on or off the court?

brother, you said hes under contract for the next year and i said that he can ask for a trade if he doesnt want to be on this team

blazers can accept the request and trade him or tell him to fuck off, thats he whole point

nurk wants to be back, just not if terry stotts is the head coach, he dont want to play for him, hes not happy with his role

Nurkic and CJ and whatever else it takes to bring Towns to play with Dame!

 

[EGame]

I mean I'd like to keep Nurk I tend to agree with him that he isn't used properly at all and if used correctly he could be a total beast. However, I wouldn't cry if we look to trade him for a legit second star if at all possible (probably not). If we do keep Nurk hopefully first and foremost can remain healthy, but also needs to work on not getting into foul trouble and also needs to figure out how to stop missing easy gimme baskets.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I really like Nurk but he sounds like he wants a bigger role on offense. Unless we can a great big man coach and they can do something amazing with him I just see Nurk always being at most a 4th option. He's not a Jokic and if he thinks he is then it's time to say good bye.

 

[Serbian]

Stotts needs to be fired . And everything is ok. Cj must be traded

 

[illmatic99]

nurk is prone to getting emotional after games.

let him vent.

not gonna make too much outta this

 

[PCmor7]

I mean, if Nurk wants a bigger role, IMO, he could have played himself into it. He was a monster one out of every four games, it seemed.

But you'd definitely get unengaged Nurk at least one of the other four. I'm not sure that's all on Stotts, as much as we wanted it to be.

The Nuggets gave up on him for Plumlee for some reason. Even when you feel Jokic is going to be a star, that's not a heck of a lot of return for a guy with Nurk's age and upside.
