This is the right approach. https://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/...ocker-room-during-first-game-without-him.html
Stotts just got a lot thrown on his plate with back to back disasters....I think he is fucking busy trying to adjust with the playoffs around the corner...he's doing a lot right now and when he can take a breath and Nurk isn't stoned on morphine I'm sure he'll get together with him in Portland. Nurk is getting plenty of love from the team and Stotts is part of that.
"If Nurkic follows his recovery plan, he could return around October. With his toughness, medical squad, teammates and Rip City behind him, it could be sooner." https://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/...e-rehabilitation-go-when-might-he-return.html
there's some contradictions between what the doctor actually said and what the writer speculated. the doctor said it took an average of 41 weeks for a return. And that was for just a Tibia fracture, not for when both leg bones had been fractured. And obviously, that average wasn't an average among 7 foot tall 290 pound people the first of October is 26 weeks away, almost 4 months sooner that the average for a single bone fracture...and this OLive writer is suggesting it could be sooner than that? Sure seems like he's just pulling that out of his ass because it doesn't match what the doctor was saying
On the other hand, Nurk may decide not to play BBall again and live the life of a king in South Bosnia. Hell, His country may recruit him for whatever nefarious plan they need done.
The next Season is going to be so damn brutal to watch if Neil wont be able to do something magic this Offseason. Probably no Kanter, no Hood and no Seth anymore on the Team and Nurk out for the most part of the Season and we have to watch Meyers because nobody wants him. Fuck my life
Can't we see what actually happens this summer before complaining about something that might not even be as bad as you make it out to be?
2016 a lot of teams gave out big (and mostly bad) contracts, so i assume theres a lot of guys who this summer become “expiring” contracts, how do you think ET and Meyers compare to some of those other guys?
I don't think it matters really how those guys compare to other players on expiring deals. What matters the most, in my opinion, is what teams are willing to give up along with those expiring deals. In theory at the draft Portland could offer to take someone with their pick for another team and include future 1st rounders in 2020, 2022, and 2024. Throw in guys like Collins, Simons, Skal, and Trent and we can come up with some pretty good packages for stars that might become available. If CJ is healthy and on the table then that becomes an option too.
I still think that by the end of this season when all is said and done no one will want to get rid of Collins. He is about to get some major run and it will include playoff games.
I kind of say yes. If there is anyway you get a generational talent here with any chance at all to re-sign him you better do it. And do it quick.
