    In guessing money will win out and he’ll sign elsewhere regardless of how his experience goes here.

    Nurk has been dominating & living up to/exceeding his contract since game 1 of this season.
    Rarely has he had a poor performance.

    Some posters man.

    There are three Kanter threads, and they're all different to me. One is just about Kanter being a Blazer, one is about Kanter's impact on Nurk, and one is about the possibility of keeping Kanter beyond this season. I see no issue.

    I saw this Nurk and Turk name bandied about for our center duo on Twitter. I can dig it

    No he probably not worried about losing his job but he could be worried about his minutes this year though. Nurk will have to produce or he might gets his minutes wack because Stotts has done that time to time to him this year especially when Zach playing really good in the middle.

    Who said anything about losing a job? I’m talking about how Nurk plays while he’s on the court, and how often he gets sent to the bench. We’ve seen him sit for significant minutes already in the fourth quarter, and that could happen even more with Kanter on the team.

    I believe in Collins - he has the same natural fluidity that I also noticed in Layman from the get go - it is just going to take some time to put it all together. Collins is going to be a very good player going forward - just let him mature and gain experience.

    If I'm getting paid, and the guy who's my competition is leaving, I'm not losing any sleep.

    I think thats a product of everyone expecting ZC to be a center. IMO his best position is PF and his most consistent games were with ML or PhysEd at center. He's just a longer version of most PF today.

    Curry can stay or go. Layman we should keep.

    We have a bigger long term need for a contributing wing than we do a Center in my opinion. Thus the long term need. Can he be replaced sure, but if we lose him he needs to be replaced.

    On offense.

    Kanter will never be what Collins already is, on defense. And he'll get better.

    Curry can most definitely go. And take Aminu with him. They should go play for the Nets.
