i think he was in croatia during the all-star break seems like a tank move, trail blazers already said they want to re-sign him and he wants to stay (it would be stupid to agree to this, if you havent sorted your next contract and this could affect offers he gets from other teams) maybe im tripping, but perhaps they already agreed to a new contract, which hell sign in free agency
Nurk looks In great spirits after this was announced. my take: they agreed on a contract today. No reason to play anymore.
i understand the Klutch element, but is this legal? i know they have a hard deadline for rookie extensions, not sure of non-rookie ones. Maybe another announcement is coming?
You don’t think back door negotiations don’t happen in the NBA? Nothing will be official until pen is on paper but the structure is probably done.
After one month, if our record is bad. There’s no need to play Nurk. Same as Dame. They just need to continue to extreme tank mode.
oh of course they do. I'm just wondering if they can announce a possible extension today. Could change our calculus in free agency moves given the order of operations.
my guess is it was done/agreed during the break. Eubanks said he knew a week ago he’d be coming to Portland. It’s also when they got Watfords deal done, so not really that much of a stretch.
Cronin telling Blazers fans to stay in the hoose You canna have a fight with an enemy that is na there, can ya?
wasn't he an RFA and had a finite limit into how big of an extension he could get. Dallas gave him the most they could. Not sure if this applies to Nurk?
The max Nurk can agree to is 4/65. If it’s not announced that’s telling you he’s getting more than 4/65.
4/65 is like 17 million average and can start at like 15M. Ideally I’d like his contract be around this mark since the first year cap hit is lower than his 18M cap hold. Looks like it’s gonna be a larger contract though, 4/80?
