    Is he a good per defender? I know he's a decent shooter...

    Just curios, is there a way to get the Full midlevel? Like lets say we trade and get under the tax line, do we then get the full MLE? when is this calculated?

    Zack Collins was singing this to reporters in "Robert Preston musical fashion" while expressing holding his shirt lapels.

    For apron-related restrictions, the team salary at that point is used. So yes, if we were to somehow trade down below the tax line, the full MLE would be available. Then, if we were to use it, we would also be hard-capped at the apron for the remainder of the year.

    I wouldn't say good, but definitely improved. He also fits the blazers culture and model. Hard worker that's kind of been a forgotten man in Sacramento.

    We don't get the 8 MIL MLE. Like 5.5 max I think for the Mini-MLE (at least it went up. It was like only 3.5 in previous years).

    Olshey's statement about Nurk's medical condition scared the hell out of me.

    I loce how Neil always has a angry perplexed look at his face when a reporter asks him something he thinks is dubious. The "Duh" retort... perfect.

    Also, Biggie looks ready for business. "You just have to want the rebound more!" Fuck yeah!

    Doesn't jive to the video of what we have seen from Nurk though....I think he is just all about tempering expectations.

    Don't we get the full MLE if we get below the tax line?

    Didn't scare me. Mentioned it wouldn't have been an issue if Stackpole had him the whole time.

    I think it was more in line with saying that the Denver conditioning program sucked. He said that Nurk would have been in shape of had been with us all year. I think that's what he was getting at.

    Yeah Olshey literally said Nurkic was "deconditioned" when he arrived from Denver. My guess based on Olsheys comments is he wasn't working out his lower body the way he should've been, or at least how Stackpole would've wanted him to.

    I love how Neil Olshey looks like he's under 5'5" and the rest are normal.

    8m for a 24 year old that's been an above average 3pt shooter for the majority of his career? That's a good deal imo.
