im split between amazed and happy that N.O. seems to have possibly learned from the Turner and Meyers catastrophe. i think 12m is a fair deal for all considering what he brings to the team and actually starts....
The average salary per year doesn’t REALLY surprise me, but the fact that it’s four years does. Thought Nurk would ask for a player option in exchange for a discount. Shows his desire to stay in portland imo.
And you better not say a muthafuckin’ word about the arm patch on his pink plaid shirt. Not. One. Fucking. Word.
I’m guessing that’s 12 mil per plus incentives? If so I hope there is an incentive clause for field goal percentage around the restricted area.
OK, I will admit I was wrong about Nurk. I thought for sure he would never re-sign in Portland for a reasonable deal.
Olshey is still an idiot. Nurkic was never gonna get paid more than this in FA. The game has evolved. The Nurkic stereotype of center is dying in the league. If Nurk had a three ball and was more versatile, his value would of been way higher in FA.
...would “have” been way higher.... I’m not part of the grammar police, but if you’re going to call someone an “idiot”, do it properly....
Good deal for us, that’s the kind of money you can pay for a player like him. None of this max deal nonsense,$12million a year comes at exactly where it should.
Someone at realgm states that the deal could be 16 + 16 + 16 + 5 guarantee. Which could explain the 5M difference between Shams and Woj. Opinion?
Oh okay, sorry grammar police on a forum criticizing somebody at one in the morning. My bad. It's true though.
