Free Agent Nurk 4/$70m

[EL PRESIDENTE]

 

[TBpup]

About what the production calcs had. Wonder what took so long, or if there were other conversations that fell through so they went ahead an finalized this?

 

[Eastoff]

Everyone is getting paid

 

[Mr. Robot]

hugely underpaid, shame on you for being so ungrateful portland trail blazers

nurk should ask for a trade asap

 

[Graduate32]

Given the way the market has gone thus far over the first day or so, that is a very reasonable cost. $17.5mil per year.

Go away

He was a UFA. If he felt he was being underpaid, he didn't have to sign.

Lmao

[bigbailes]

Feels like an over payment just like with Ant but guess call it the small market tax.

 

[Mr. Robot]

i told you nurks deal is coming very soon

first time rich paul & klutch were mentioned was over 20 min ago when shams announced lavine deal

 

[illmatic99]

Was expecting 75, but 70 means a starting salary around 16.2 mil.

This gives us about 4.3 mil of space to work with before hitting the apron.

 

[Blazer Freak]

If Mitchell Robinson is getting 4/60 i think 2.5M more a year is a good deal for Nurk...not to mention I am guessing Year 4 has some partial guarantee or incentives in it.

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

That is fair. Has not proved that he can stay healthy and is not an elite center even when. Hopefully he can continue the progress he showed last year.

 

[Mr. Robot]

He was a UFA, if he felt he was being underpaid, he didn't have to sign.

now he will do the smart thing and force his way out

welcome back sulking nurk

 

[Natebishop3]

now he will do the smart thing and force his way out

welcome back sulking nurk

When he forces his way out, will you go with him?

 

[blazerkor]

Not a nightmare to have a deal with Nurk that starts out under 16M.

 

[julius]

now he will do the smart thing and force his way out

welcome back sulking nurk

Or, and hear me out, he won't? They didn't under pay him, his track record kinds speaks for itself.

Has injury issues, is inconsistent and soft. He got what he deserved.

 

[TBpup]

welcome back sulking nurk

Which means he was sulking Nurk before....and hence, part of the reason he wasn't worth more money.

Big Boy $$$ require Big Boy production and attitude.

 

[James lamphear]

It's good deal for him especially when he took a team friendly contract last time.

 

[THE HCP]

i told you nurks deal is coming very soon

first time rich paul & klutch were mentioned was over 20 min ago when shams announced lavine deal

YOU told us Nurk was signing a deal? Wow. What insight.

 

[B-Roy]

Options, incentives?

 

[Cugel]

I guess this is the roster. Amin Al Hassin having a good laugh at our expense on sirius nba. we tanked for sharpe and grant?

 

[illmatic99]

so this announcement rules out a S&T effectively.

this is the roster we'll start with, for all intents and purposes.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

I’m good with this. Now can he stay healthy?
Blazers need to get a solid backup but let’s all stay in the positive and hope Nurk flourishes with this new coach.

 

[B-Roy]

Was expecting 75, but 70 means a starting salary around 16.2 mil.

This gives us about 4.3 mil of space to work with before hitting the apron.

15.5M by my calculation?

We have 5.3M to work with.

 

[Natebishop3]

I guess this is the roster. Amin Al Hassin having a good laugh at our expense on sirius nba. we tanked for sharpe and grant?

Yup. This is our team. We'd have to basically dump players in 1:1 trades or throw Hart into the Detroit trade to free up space.

 

[blazerkor]

Or, and hear me out, he won't? They didn't under pay him, his track record kinds speaks for itself.

Has injury issues, is inconsistent and soft. He got what he deserved.

Or a little more than he deserves but it's not bad. This roster construction is a head scratcher though. Not a lot of size.

 

[James lamphear]

Well I can bet this not the final product for start of next season with this roster.

 

[illmatic99]

15.5M by my calculation?

We have 5.3M to work with.

are you considering 8% raises? I was thinking 5%
