Hasan might stay . Nurkic will have to be a back up because hasan is balling out of control and he feeds off the best with Dame. I say 28 min for hasan and 20 for nurkic. Unless Hasan starte to suck
Well the way Olshey has it that Nurk will start next year so if they resign Whiteside guess who going back up who just saying. The question will if both player muture enough to accept there roles. Might be the biggest test for Dame due he likes both players with his leadership. Don't be surprised if Zach finish the game with both of the sitting on difference situations.
no way, the playbook expands with him in the lineup, as does space for the guards because of his elite screening. Whiteside will never be on his level, but he can feast against backup bigs.
They are different players with different attributes. Whiteside is on his level, but Nurkic is a better band-aid for our offensive deficiencies. Nurkic was not a perfect player and he's coming back from a serious injury. He was a very good player, but people are overrating him now.
Nurkic was elite and the numbers backed it up. He was always underrated if anything. Sorry if it doesn’t fit your narrative.
I wonder how much discussion is done with agents behind the scenes with buyout candidates right now. I'm sure there's a handful of guys likely to get bought out and while sure, most will get rumored to LA or LA or Boston or Milwaukee, they can't ALL go there. Is there already a negotiation going on with agents where current GMs, like Neil, would know hey, why bother giving up even a 2nd for...say Alec Burks when I know that ...whoever, a player similar, is getting bought out and ois willing to sign here.
Maybe underrated by the media, we all like him on this forum. I don't have a "narrative" lol, what are you talking about? it's just weird to act as if Nurkic,who was never an All-Star or All-NBA is wayyyyyy above HW. Next Year when Nurk is back and Hassan will be gone, you might miss some of Hassan's advantages. I just don't like this black and white shit, i don't "hate" either of these Centers and i'm not in love with them either.
Solid for the Hawks. The Rockets will get eaten alive in the post by the Lakers or any team with scoring bigs.
this was my thought as well. Rockets got taken to the cleaners here. And ATL landed a starting C for just a first rounder
I don't get this trade for Denver. They aren't over the tax line and Green is basically out for the season. I'm curious the terms of that FRP they get.
