    Imagine being investigated for tampering for a player like Drew Eubanks.

    I'll take "Headlines I thought I would never see in my life" for $800, Alex.

    No one gets it.
    There will only be 59 draft picks next year.

    Thanks. I guess since it is a late 2nd round pick it does not matter since a team does not always sign these picks. Wonder what happens if it is a first round pick. It basically means a player that might get a 2 year contract at the normal NBA scale does not get it.

    Interesting.

    And if Phoenix has the best record in the league, they can probably just sign the now-undrafted guy that they would've picked at 60.

    For Eubanks? No way.

    For Shaq of Troutdale? Absolutely :)

    Is everyone happy for Nurk, or will we feel pissed off if he's better for Phoenix than Ayton is for us?

    Even a good Nurkic doesn't fit our timeline anymore, which makes the bar a bit lower for Ayton—esp at his age.

    It just doesn't get used by the Suns or anyone. They will skip it in the draft.

    Happy for Nurk.
    He was under-apreciated.
    He looks slimmer and quicker than he has in several years. I expect him to have a very good season.

    Indifferent, bordering on annoyed that he was fat and out of shape the past 2 years, and now finally looks like he lost the weight we all wanted him to lose.

    lol go figure someone takes one game of Nurk and asks a question they already know the answer to. But thats Rasta. Thats what they do.

    You KNOW Nurk is inconsistent. So you KNOW this is a dumb question.

    But thats Rasta.
