from teams and nurks point of view, theres no point in bringing him back if they agreed to a new contract if they didnt, then trail blazers proabably still wouldnt want to bring him back (he could increase his value with good play), but nurk would want to come back first of all, i dont believe in this "injury", hes been playing through it since september and he couldve play through it until the end of the season and theres no way rich paul & nurk would agree to this if they didnt agreed to a new contract already
Our schedule at the end of the season is just way too easy. They may need to limit Ants minutes if they aren’t testing him altogether.
I see the tankabillies are out. I think Nurks injury is legit and I doubt the team has entered the Tanklight Zone.
You can play on Plantar Fasciiitis. It just hurts badly. But, if we were in the midst of some type of push he would be playing.
Nurk looks distraught with the news https://instagram.com/stories/trailblazers/2780226736079478813?utm_medium=copy_link
Tank you Nurk and Cronin and the Blazers management !!! I am not saying i think this is some made up BS to make tanking easier BUT if the Blazers were really in a WIN now run he would prolly just sit 2 to 3 games and then maybe take a minutes reduction but this signals the team knows it would be better off taking some L's The last stretch was like a message to the fans not to get too down there is SOME hope but now time to get serious about the future and while some might not like it or whatever it's -- time to do what's best and that is LOSE
it’s not just about losing though it’s also about developing and evaluating players for next season. Good opportunity for Eubanks to earn a spot. Good opportunity for Watford to see heavy minutes. This also means Greg Brown won’t be sitting on the bench. Also need to evaluate Hughes and Elleby as they’re not guaranteed for next season. Keon needs minutes too. Brandon Williams might be the backup point. Actually, I’d be surprised if Bledsoe played now.
Was a road runner for 35 years and PF can get to the point where its very difficult to run/walk on. There were several times I had flare ups that would require a lot of rest for it to subside.
We traded for him on 2/12/17. To me, pulling Nurk is final confirmation that Dame isn't coming back this season.
