About as awesome as you expect it. https://art19.com/shows/vertical/episodes/6b9075c3-64ef-41e9-971a-abea26dee639
On if he knew what to expect when the Trail Blazers traded for Jusuf Nurkić... CJ McCollum: "I didn’t, he was an unknown. And it’s funny because my agent told me about him. He’s like ‘Nurk is going to save your season.’ I was like saying, ‘Come on man.’ He’s like ‘No CJ, I’ve been watching him’ — obviously make agency has Jokic so they were familiar with Jokic as well. I hadn’t really watched him. He came in the first day and he did some four-on-four stuff and I was watching him and I was like, he’s nimble, he’s able to run, get up and down the floor, he’s got skills, he’s got swag. I hit Sam (Goldfeder) back, I was like ‘You were right, this kid is the real deal.’ He’s only 22 years old. I was like ‘I like him, he’s mean and he’s not afraid.’ You didn’t see any sense of him being afraid. You see what he said after the Denver game, I was like he knows what he means and he means what he says."
That's so awesome. If his agent knew, surely Olshey did as well. @yuyuza1 time to change your avatar.
Of course Olshey and the Blazers scouts knew. Some of the posters here knew; to the point they had me on the Nurkic bandwagon before the trade even happened, and I didn't know shit about him before the season.
It just seemed like he always beat the crap out of us when we played Denver. Glad he's on the right team now.
We were sooooo lucky that CJ fell to #10. If anyone saw the war room on draft night NO had the largest grin on his face after putting the pick in lol
Yeah that's true. Just shows how bad the first nine GMs of the draft were lol Edit: And Rudy was drafted #27 lol. We would have crucified NO if he drafted him at #10 if we could have gotten him later in the first round. CJ wouldn't have been there at 27.
And if Oden's knees didn't explode we don't do either. Doesn't mean it's good that Oden's knees exploded.
Giannis is a monster. However, there really isn't a player in the NBA who's game I enjoy more than CJ's.
Come on dude, we got a fucking Euro for you! Can't you just like him without hating that we don't have ALL the Euros?!
I love it when CJ brake-checks a guy he's just blown by, get him to foul him, and does that floater to get the and one. He doesn't do it often, but every time I'm thinking, "This is a 15-year-vet move coming from a 25-year-old."
If you got some Euros. Then I could always use free currency. Might be taking a trip to visit some friends in the future.
I clicked around to watch other teams war room videos because I think it is cool to get an inside look. I feel like if the Kings were smart they would replace some of their staff with some of our forum members... You can just tell Vivek was thinking "Stauskas, he's basically Steph Curry!"
