    Mehh you can’t rely on this guy. He was due for a major injury soon. I was actually wondering recently when it was coming. It’s ok for this year bc we have other plans so who gives a shit if he’s out but we need to find his replacement long term asap for Dame’s last few productive years

    Better give Eubanks a little more than just a 10-day.

    Since Eubanks claims.he had 4 to 5 other teams call him. Makes me wonder if he knew about the Nurk injury and the fact he will play big minutes. In addition to being home with family too.

    I was waiting for that. Hopefully, it is more of a precautionary situation. But I was hoping we got someone like Eubanks for this very reason.
    Much easier to rest him, while developing everyone else, with having an extra big on the roster.

    It says he’s been playing with it since September? This is definitely a tank move.

    this is egregious.

    i know we did this similarly in 2012 and 2013. Just hope we don't anger the Lottery Gods.

    Then again, there is nothing sacred about this sorta stuff anymore, so who cares?

    The end of this year is about development, getting healthy, and the highest number of possible ping pong balls. Get Healthy Nurk.

    This means they can get a long look at Eubanks. Watford will see starter minutes and Greg brown won’t be sitting on the bench. If this was a different situation I bet Nurk would just continue to play through it.

    Crazy to me that Nurk would be on board with this. It's a contract year. For him to agree to such an obvious tank move, he has to be all in on a return here. Wonder what we've promised him.

    Can’t wait til billups gets these guys on a ten game win streak anyway and Cronin hangs him from the rafters.

    confirmed that we want to keep him; didn't necessarily confirm that he was necessarily going to stay.
