    How is there not a single local news source with an update about Nurk?

    About potential trades?

    About potential signings?

    We are getting all our information from guys on the board and @hoopsjock

    Our local journalists are worthless. They clearly have no inside sources. Nurk not signing is a story, and yet none of them have it.

    700 x $2 is $1400. As long as you have a roommate, you should be okay. :smiley-beerchug:

    I'm a consultant in the energy business.... but honestly, I would probably be making like 200% more money working at Home Depot. I didn't make hardly anything as a writer. But I got into all the games for free!

    my guess is Nurk will be the last thing we hear about since we have his bird rights and can go over the cap to sign him. anything thats going to happen to eat up cap will happen before his signing.

    It's cute that you think I made even $2....

    Actually, when I was working for NBAtalk.com with Chad Ford, I was making a flat $500 a month. I don't even know how many hours I was working, but I was 19 years old so I didn't care.

    When we got bought out by ESPN, the cheap fuckers only paid me the same $500.... but I was too young to know better and I was just pumped to sign a contract with ESPN.

    Eventually I got tired of working for less than minimum wage and they bumped me up to a wopping $1000 a month!

    Hoopsworld didn't pay me a dime.

    $500/mo divided by 168 hours per month (40/wk x 4.2) = $2.97/hour. Pretty close guess. And if you worked more than 40/wk (easy to do), you fit right in that range of $2/hr.

    We don't have any cap space so thats not the reason.

    Sounds like we may be exploring sign and trades sending out Nurk, but if that doesn't happen we will resign him. No other teams are interested in him with cap room, so there is little risk he bolts for nothing.

    2.97* 700% = $20.79 per hour as an energy consultant.

    Is Chad Ford still your cheap boss?
