I really want the Blazers to bring Nurk along slowly next season. What matters is to have him at his post injury peak for the playoffs. Also there is the added benefit of seasoning Zach and Skal
I have a feeling Nurk is going to be ready sooner rather than later. That is not a difficult injury to recover from.
That's sooner than I was thinking. Based on my ABSOLUTELY ZERO KNOWLEDGE OF HIS CONDITION. I just want them to proceed cautiously. When I think of the luck this franchise has had with big man injuries...I can't even.
Looks like they have been consistently good. Remember the doom and gloom from some of you guys after last years playoffs? You guys had the team failing this year because of it and it was the Pels that failed.
I think Nurk will be playing around January. I think we wont see the “Nurk we remember” until 2020-2021 season.
Just gonna say--I will now refer to a first-round sweep as a "playoof" for the rest of my life. Perhaps the greatest typo in forum history.
Read? I just said above that Olshey's biggest mistake was not trading Aldridge during 2014. Now. Who was the architect that got the Blazers a higher seed in 2015 without Aldridge than they got with Aldridge in 2014? Oh right...
I know that recent history shows he is the best we could get in multiple attempts. No, getting Olshey was not nearly as much of a gamble as firing him last season would have been. If we could get a guy who has as much better of a record over Olshey as Olshey had vs our prior few GMs you'd have a far stronger point. But there is no evidence to suggest we can. That's why it's not smart.
Yes, you absolutely should. It IS possible. Lillard (or one of the youngins) would have to become an all-time great. However, it's very, very, very, very, very unlikely. Getting to the conference championship is like winning the finals for a small market team.
Glad the blazers traded for this cat. Liked him his whole career and always thought we should consider him for wing help.
