    ofc its only 20 fuckin' games, but can you see Jusuf Nurkic as Portland Trail Blazers legend and his jersey retirement some day, and what would it take to make that happen.. it looks to me that POR and Jusuf Nurkic are destined for each other, his passion and love for this franchise and its fans and vice versa, seems very real

    You shouldn't retire someone's jersey unless they lead you to a title IMO. I loved Clyde and Porter, but they shouldn't have had their numbers retired. I think it was Blazer brass desparate to manufacture some positive vibes at the time.

    Pretty sure he has a lot better chance than Greg Oden.

    The crowd was chanting his name like Maximus in Gladiator. That's seems like great stuff for me.

    The longer we go without making the finals twice in three years, the more okay I am with retiring their numbers.

    I see Nurkic owning a herd of unicorns and teaching them to ride unicycles and play bagpipes while riding through the streets of Portland.

    He will be that great!

    So most teams would not have a single Jersey retired or past players, to show the city loved what they gave them, even if it wasn't a ring? That's ridiculous....

    I am happy to look up and see Porter and Drexler up there. I was here during those times and have mad respect for what they did for this city. only one team can win each year. You do know this right? ;)

    No it wouldn't. Clyde didn't put a banner up there.

    It'll be about longevity more than about talent. Can he string together 3, 4, or 5 healthy seasons? Can he help the Blazers win a championship? These are tall orders, but it's possible.

    Nurk has been great, but I'll think about retiring Dame or CJ's number before Nurk at this point.

    Don't think he has a dog here yet. Maybe you should apply.

    Trevor Ariza had more to do with that particular downfall.

    I could see Nurkic averaging
    18ppg, 12reb, 4ast, 2blks and 1stl someday. That would be amazing numbers. He'd be an all-star with that statline.

    Thing is, with us this season, he averaged:
    15.2ppg, 10.4reb, 3.2ast, 1.9blk, & 1.3stls in 29min.

    He's not that far off.
