i think nurks future heavily depends on the new head coach and how he plans to use him if the blazers hire mike dantoni, nurk is as good as gone
Nurk talk a lot in interview that's could have rub olshey the wrong way that could lead him being traded not saying he will but could be possiblity.
Hopefully Nurk will enjoy his honeymoon, get back in the gym, and work on his many deficiencies . He needs to get back to focusing on being the player he was a couple of years ago. That player was a beast on the court. He finished at the hoop, stayed out of foul trouble, and made opposing players drives to the hoop, a living nightmare. Remember Michael Malone Nurk? Grass ain't always greener.
Bubble Nurk is the only Nurk I’d be worried about losing. Very inconsistent, if we need to package him with CJ for something nice I’m all in.
Yeah fuck him if he acts like a Diva. Sure his impact is big but what role does he want? He's not skilled like Towns, Jokic or Zion, he still struggles to make easy shots. Unless he improves big time he should know his place in the league
Man I wish. Nurk sucks imo. I gave up on him awhile ago. To out of control around the rim, hates dunking, to much throwing up flimsy shit, fouling machine, the list goes on. Oh ya the worst part about him is he thinks he’s so fucking good and has this entitlement bitching about his game. A lot of the reason he loses focus and fouls a lot. I think another team can think they could change him we can get good pieces for him
Nurk needs to gtfu and understand he has proven nothing in the nba so far. I really like him but damn… shut yer trap and talk on the court.
i dont didagree with most of this. The only counter i would have is he is still young overall and didnt grow up playing ball in the states. see the Doncic situation in Dallas. International players have a different mold and it shows in thier emotions. not trying to make excuses, i just havent given up like you have, in hopes that he still has a level of maturity to hit. Right now though im with you. He cant play good unless he knows he is thought of as the savior or something. when he wins dpoy or makes an all nba team then he can talk all the shit he wants. Until then, shut up, and play ball.
Dame will decide if Nurk stays or not....he's the voice in Nurk's head more than his emotions after a disappointing loss. I don't read much into Nurk's post game rant but I do sense he didn't like his role in the Denver series....fact is he played Jokic's game and he should have made Jokic play his game
I agree. That being said, don't spend too long on your Honeymoon. See Dame. There's work to be done on your game to get back to Beast Mode. A Lot Of Work.
Whoever those teams are that are monitoring the Nurk situation... get them on the phone because the immobile 7 footer is obsolete. The defensive player of the year is getting his shit handed to him.
