    Nurkic's first double-double for us in his 2nd game with us. Have to think many more are coming too.

    It's gonna be funny when Nurkic gets a triple double before Plumlee.

    In a game full of moments, my favorite was Nurk keeping up laterally with Aaron Gordon. Like, what the fuck?

    Nurk has great feel for the game. Great size, good passing ability, combined with sneaky quickness and good touch around the rim. Very impressed so far.

    Too bad we won't be able to resign Nurk because of Leonard/Crabbe/Turner.

    Can the NBA hold an expansion draft and get another team going ASAP? We'll pay the salaries.

    Why? We can easily get rid of these contracts by 2018. We will have three rookies here next year if all goes fine, making low salary.

    "The big part of the deal is the pick, Nurkic is just a bonus"

    Yeah right.

    If you could only keep 7 guys during an expansion draft, who would you keep? I got Dame, CJ, Nurkic, Harkless, Aminu, Turner, and Crabbe.

    I'd protect Vonleh and Layman. An expansion team wouldn't select an expensive player like Crabbe or Turner.

    Expansion team would have all cap space available to them and very few expensive players to choose from (well they'd have the likes of Biyombo etc. as their teams would be begging for them to take them).

    Just basing my comment on historical results. Generally expansion teams keep salary low through the expansion draft, preserving that money for future trades and free agency.
