    I mean, i guess that makes him better than Dame. Lets run everything through him and see what happens!

    Lakers Marc Gasol = someone whose stupid coach played a much worse player over him

    Nurk is a whiny dude. Lets get what we can from him if he is gonna be passive aggressive. Maybe he is the player not buying in.

    Rastapopoulos sticking up for a Euro player.

    I never would have thought that would happen!

    1. Wow, if the player not buying in is STILL our best player, what does that say about Chauncey's scheme?
    2. I believe Quick (whom we have to thank for this specific rumor) specifically ruled out Nurk.

    We definitely don’t have the talent to be much of a winning team with Dame playing like this - maybe a tad over 0.500 and yes that’s on management. I was much more interested in seeing Olshey gone than Stotts.

    My point was that our lack of winning so far relative to fan expectations can be explained almost entirely by Dame’s poor play compared to the past. It’s not due to Nurk, which was the claim made and what I was responding to.

    I think Nurk's been fine. But he hasn't been good enough to already be bitching about his role

    and I understand what you're saying about Dame. It's a simple concept. What I'm saying is why the fuck aren't Dame's teammates picking up the slack of him not producing points as well; especially considering he's at career highs for assists and assist/turnover ratio. He's only struggling in scoring. Seems like a luxury tax payroll could make up for 6 points when scoring across the NBA is down 4.3 points

    Okay, I read the translation thing.
    I can't get too worked up about that. "Like" doesn't mean much. If I was a role player and a fan said "Hey buddy, you're Michael fucking Jordan! You're too good for those bums!" I might easily like it just to say "thanks for the love, delusional fan!" In this case it might even just mean "hey, fellow Bosnian speaker! I see you!"
    How many "likes" does he give out?

    I mean, I hate to sound like a Grandpa (or, God help me, John Cleese), but this sounds like a rush to judgement about very weak tea. Let the guy blow off steam. Shows he gets emotional. Draymond does shit like this every day.

    Here's another stat about Nurk: this is a (flawed) measure of how much you contribute besides scoring:

    Nurk's more than holding up his side.

    When you say “he’s averaging” without citing a year is that this year or career? How is PPP calculated? 0.86 PPP in 2018-2019 seems highly fishy but I’ll wait to see how it’s calculated.

    ok...but this tread is about Nurkic bitching about his role. I doubt he's thinking about defense or rebounding or screens, but about shots and usage

    Everyone is mind reading Nurk. It could be about shots. It could also be a style if play where the ball goes through Nurk more instead of Dame and CJ pounding the ball.

    nurk doesnt like iso bball, he likes when we move the ball, so called team bball

    he was 15 ppg player, now hes 11 ppg with career low fga, i dont think he likes that

    wherever nurk ends up, at the very least hell have the same role on offense he has now, but in best case scenario, hell have a bigger role and maybe he wont be part of the unwatchable offense like ours
