    Wait, what are the Bucks doing? They traded for Jodie Meeks and are cutting him? Didn't they already have too many players?

    They cut our guy Tim Frazier a day before the season starts. Brutal.

    Hope he lands somewhere-- PHX needs a PG.

    Most would say that has no impact on their need for a PG.

    Agree for the most part, but I think they have 15 guaranteed contracts on the roster.

    Edit: Would it really surprise you if the Suns signed him to play PG?

    They'd be better off just playing Devin Booker at the point. His AST% last season was 24.4. The last time Crawford had an AST% that high Travis Outlaw was a rookie (2003-04).

    Myles Turner just signed a 4 year, $80 million extension. The Nurkic contract looks fantastic in comparison.

    Wow, that seems like a huge overpay. You're right, it makes Nurk look like a real bargain. $20 million a year vs. $12 million a year. Hell, I'd take Nurk over Turner even if the salaries were equal. We already have one overpaid Turner on our roster.

    Turner missed 17 games last season. When he did play, he averaged 12.7 ppg. 6.4 rpg. 1.8 bpg and shit .479 FG% in 28.2 mpg.

    Compare that to Nurk who played 79 games and average 14.3 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 1.4 bpg and shot .505 FG% in 26.4 mpg.

    Turner is a good shot blocker, but a pretty weak rebounder for his size/position.

    I liked him coming out of college. But he’s a point guard. Don’t think we need another one, even on a two way.

    Another Turner got a big contract today. Myles Turned 4 years 72 million. Makes the Nurkic signing look even better. Is Turner much better than Nurkic? 24 million more?

    Most of the stats point to Nurkic being better than Turner as far as I can tell. BNM did a pretty good post a little ways up on it. The Nurkic Contract was really well done for the Blazers in my opinion.

    No sir they wouldn’t. Coolest thing about that city, the Christmas Story house is across the bridge from our hotel and the arena!
