    These should be our dress rehearsal due to do our last preseason game. This might show somewhat are rotation for the start of the season.

    I could see it being that way for the first half but Chauncey still might not know who he and Joe are cutting so I think in the second half we'll see some end of bench players.

    Yeah, I think the trade was good for both teams. Playing with a contender could keep Nurk a lot more motivated than he would have been in Portland this year. Finding a trade partner for Nurk before the season started was a win, let alone getting Ayton and Camara.

    I will miss Nas though, even if he was easily replaceable....... I just liked the guy.

    nurk is the second coming of prime hakeem olajuwon, its just that portland trail blazers never knew or wanted to use him the right way

    watch him thrive on a legit contender now and watch ayton putting up empty stats

    I agree, if Hakeem came out of retirement from the NBA nowadays and played, he would be as good as Nurk.

    I really like Nurk on and off the court. I'll miss him! I hope he gets a ring this season . Ayton is going to be a good fit in Portland. Can't wait to get a sense of him as a person.

    Doesn't matter. We got the best we were going to get out of Nurk and he wasn't going to be happy here.

    Nobody else was going to give us better value for Nurk, so I like the move.

    Unlike Nurk who is going to become, and I quote "Prime Hakeem Olajuwon" because all Nurk needed was a change of scenery to unlock his top-10 all-time talents!
