That is just crazy enough it might work! OK, how about this: when a GM is fired, the team gets an amnesty slot. It must be used on a player that GM drafted/traded for/signed/re-signed. You couldn't fire Olshey, hire a strawman long enough to dump Turner, fire the strawman, and so on ad infinitum.
Yeah, he means a lot to people from Bosnia. Not just them, je played in Croatia for couple of years and he was fan favourite always. Fuck injuries..
Stop. Referees cannot and never will be able to prevent injuries. Nurk's injury had absolutely nothing to do with rough play.
Make sense when you talk. No one can prevent injuries. Nor can they be legislated out of the game. We have a death penalty for murderers. Do we still have murder in this country?
I did too. My son saw me. I always tell him never let something you can't control control you. Then I tell him how hard that is.
I don't think crying qualifies as letting something control you. That's just an involuntary physical manifestation of an emotional state. It's when people make (poor) choices because of their emotions that they're being controlled by things they can't control. I've no doubt you've effectively demonstrated the difference to your son.
Thinking Kanter will bolster us on offense may be mistaken. Little things Nurk does that Enes can't do nearly as well: Dribble hand offs. Sealing off his man. High post Passing (IMHO Meyers is a better passer. #yesisaidit) I'm unsure if we can high post him like we do Nurk either.
Spare parts? Let's just do a brain transplant. Meyers body and athleticism with Nurk's attitude and BBIQ...
Meyers is an excellent passer. Doesn't make the clever passes that Nurk does, but his passes are crisp, clean, and on target. He keeps the ball moving. Kanter has a better J than Nurk, so I think he would bring some value to the high post.

I hear you. While it certainly isn't the ref's fault that he got hurt, and you will never prevent all injuries from happening. I thought the refs in the Brooklyn game did a bad job at setting the tone to give players space to land long before the Nurkic injury. I don't know if it would've changed anything at all, and that's why I'm not blaming them, but there were several times in the game where a player was in the air and someone would jump right underneath them now part of that is just basketball and things will happen. At least in my opinion, though part of what a ref does is set the tone for what's over the line and what isn't, it's the tone of the game and how physical it will be. I'm ok with a physical game and all that but the chance for injury goes up when "dangerous" plays are allowed to happen with no calls because as players they're going to do whatever they can get away with. If those plays are being allowed they'll keep doing it. I know you have an incredible eye for the game but to me, there were many occasions where Dudley in particular (but other guys too on both teams), did not give a player space to land and that's dangerous and they need to be called early. That could have happened in a perfectly officiated game, and sometimes horribly officiated games don't result in any injuries at all. Again like I said in another thread. It isn't the refs' fault Nurk got hurt, no one wanted that to happen to anybody.
