    This doesn’t make sense.

    I hope this is true; or that Olshey was just referring to Nurk and his best friend, Lillard.

    nurk said it was told to "everyone" at the club that no-ones is leaving and that the head coach will be replaced

    Again this is a translation so I don't know how good it is but knowing Nurk and how he likes to take things on tangents the words "As far as I'm concerned," which preceded, "I was told that no one will be traded and that only the coach will change," were the most important.

    That could have been as simple as Nurk asking Olshey if Neil thinks Nurk is getting traded and Olshey responds that all they're doing right now is changing the head coach. Then you wonder if Nurk thinks right now is the entire off season and if Neil was talking about that week.

    Edit: Also, either Nurk misunderstood or Neil bold face lied to him. Neil has traded a player from the roster during each of the last three off seasons and just got done talking about how the season was a disappointment and that he knows the team needs to get a second star to play next to Dame. There is also the remote possibility that Neil will not under any circumstance trade a player from this roster... that one seems a little unlikely.

    According to others in here it's more than enough.

    Neil looked like he was trying to let fans down easy in the conference today. Made it sound like he wasn't going to trade for another star with his more stars don't mean championship speech. He said there are other ways. Gave Atl, MIL, and PHX this year as examples

    Nurk is with Klutch and so is Billups, so I think our new coach will actually use him. Honestly though I can see Neil rolling in back with just a coaching change just because.

    He's right about that ...and Chauncey won a championship with role players starting...no superstars...he also said when Terry was let go that we didn't play our young guys enough to covet draft picks so I think we'll see Nas, Ant, Elleby and Giles at least get to compete for minutes..CJ Elleby is Norman Powell's workout partner and Ant is Dame's workout partner off season...Looks like McCollum is working out with Roco today...Elleby reminds me of a young Dylan Brooks
