    Does it bother anyone else but me that Eric isn't "Bones" in all of these goofy conversations?

    We were joking about that when they were playing one-on-one.

    Although, calling Kingspeed Bones doesn't make a lot of sense either since that is the lead woman's nickname not his.

    Sure! But maybe we should get a forum member to verify it first before passing it too far?

    Hmm. Good point. But does that make @BonesJones some sort of a trans kind of thing?

    Thanks for getting my thread back on topic. :cheers:

    Hey, please guys, don't derail the thread anymore.

    It's supposed to be about Nurkić's recovery.

    I just don't want to see 20+ offensive rebounds in a quarter by the other team again.
    So hurry back Nurk because if you're not out there.... Stotts will put small teams on the court and wonder why we can't get a defensive rebound.

    Stotts doesnt know why we do something good, im doubting he understands why we can't.

    Oh, and hurry back Nurk.

    Kill me now for saying this but...
    If Stotts put Meyers Leonard on the court. Portland wouldn't have gave up 20 offensive boards in a quarter.... Maybe because Denver makes more shots... But still.

    How about Nurk is the most impactful player on Dame's success besides Dame?

    At 4:04 dude says Nurk is closer to getting back, if thats true, we should trade Whiteside and our protected 1st immediately for an upgrade at the 4 once Nurkic is back

    I always thought February was a conservative timeline for Nurk. If he shows he’s good to go once he’s back Whiteside and Bazemore should both be used to acquire a significant future piece. But I wouldn’t mind Whiteside as a backup either tbh.

    Based on their play I don't think their value is all that high, and expiring contracts are a crapshoot to get a significant piece.

    their play doesn’t really matter, it’s their contract that’s the draw.

    Wasn't that an almost verbatim quote regarding Gasol as well?

    My favorite part about this is Nurk calling himself a centar.
