    ya i don't see it. this seems like it's normal. Dame's out prepping for the Olympics and i believe is also getting married this offseason, and is chillin in Cabo right now. He just has a lot on his plate.

    no. I meant they deal with emotions a bit differently it seems.

    Nurk can pound sand imo, he’s too inconsistent to be counted on. If the right deal is there make it.

    thats not what he said, it was taken out of context and it makes nurk look bad and truth is entirely different

    what he said is this: "if dames gone, then im probably gone too", as he assumed team would go into rebuild if dame gets traded

    nurk wants to get paid, hes in the gym early

    not just new contract, he knows chauncey billups can make him a better player, so he needs to be ready from the get go

    I'm pretty sure dunking everything he can instead of trying to get cute with little flip up semi hooks would make Nurk unstoppable.

    Nurk looks great. It's treachery to see some fans talk about giving Nurk away for nothing and proposing trades that move him for Kuzma. SMH...

    Other than Dame, Nurk was the most talked about player from Chauncey. He said everything I've been screaming for the past 5 years. Get the ball in Nurk's hands and let him initiate. Obviously that will be less so if we are to acquire a guy like Ben Simmons but I wouldn't be so quick to move Nurk even if we do.

    Nurk is going to love the way Chauncey uses him...he'll have that bigger role he talked about with a new system designed to get him more touches and help on defense..Nurk's best stretch as a Blazer was with Chief helping him out in the post...that's when he had his 5X5 game..Mo and Chief weren't looking for shots...Nurk feasted then...I think with a new system he'll be really happy moving ahead

    then he would be gobert or capela

    no-one wants to see that, boring as it gets... nurk is more talented than that

    WTF? Everyone wants to see Nurk actually finish inside... I guess maybe not everyone but I think you're a party of one on this. There's nothing boring about the guy scoring more efficiently. God I hope that Nurk isn't giving up ten points per game because dunking is "boring as it gets". Fuck!

    I wish he was Gobert :breakdance: Of course that would also mean he gets paid 2-3 times more which would kill us.

    Flipping bullshit up instead of finishing strong is not beautiful. If like Dame you have the skill to bring the ball down and double clutch before laying it in while going full speed, sure that's cool but both you and more importantly Nurk need to realize that he obviously doesn't have that skill.

    You would really rather watch people miss shots they could make because it's not pretty?

    gobert in the regular season and in the playoff are two different players

    teams easily stop him in the playoffs, cause he has no skill and on the other side, well, lets just say clippers had their way with him

    when theyre skilled, yes

    its easy for gobert and capela to dunk cause theyre more athletic than nurk (alley-oops), but also cause they cant do anything else on offense and they cant do shit in the playoffs offensively
