    Of course you try to get him cheaper than MAX but you know if we don't match then we still don't have cap space to replace him right? So it is Nurk as our 3rd in the big 3 or no one. I will take Nurk.

    You must be blind to the Nurk effect, aka our good for once defense.

    I think Darkwebs created this opinion question to discover the exact number of posters who thought of $cap space as the prime reason to keep or discard the Nurk.

    If Nurk averages, say, 18 a game this year, I can see us paying him very well. That might be a bit optimistic though....perhaps he'll average 15 or 16 PPG.

    Still.....we could do FAR worse than him. And he's already had many games this year where he's scored over 20.

    Is he worth the "max"? Eh....that remains to be seen. But unless Butters becomes Dwight Howard II....which he won't......then I don't think we have much of a choice. Lock him up and keep him here. His defense alone helps us tremendously.

    Absolutely! Many fans forget that defense is the other side of a player's skill set.

    Yeah that's also my take. If nobody offers him a max (and I don't think anybody will), we should not offer him max either. If he gets a max offer, we need to match it because in our current position we cannot go for any other center that could possibly replace him.

    I think if he averages 15+ppg, 7+rpg, 3+apg, 1+bpg and plays around 75 games Portland locks him up based on potential alone.
    23 year old Centers with his skillset don't come along very often.
    Nurk has the potential to turn into Marc Gasol. That's something you don't pass on.

    Nurk was just dissecting the defense last night by finding cutters. Crazy how that works when guys move without the ball.

    I haven't been able to watch the last few games (either work or holiday stuff). Has there been a reason why Meyers hasn't played in the last 3-4?

    Not complaining about it.
