    Listen, it's obvious that he's a better player than Crabbe and Leonard, but it's also obvious that is nowhere near the level Portland fans wanted him to be. What's bad is that he will be a RFA at the end of the year and Olshey has to match every offer because he can't start the season with Collins in the starting lineup. Chances of overpaying him like we did with Crabbe and Leonard are very high.

    I don't know why Portland fans overhype every player so much, but it's happened again with Nurkic.

    What was clear to me even at the end of last year but it's now even more clear is that he has absolutely no touch, he has bricks instead of hands, right now he's shooting under 40% as a center!

    He's huge and above average mobile for his size, good timing on the blocks, good instincts but he has also a lot of holes in his game.

    Nurkic, same as Lillard, is guarantee of mediocrity, too good to make us lose games but not as good to take us to another level.

    What’s obvious is that Mixum is back.

    Literally has never showed up once when we win.

    You do understand that no one takes you seriously, reads your posts, or gives you the benefit of the doubt because of this, right?

    I give you as much hope and love for your life as I can, though. Go forth, my friend!

    Nurkic has suffered from a lack of instruction and attention. The Blazers training and coaching staff spent a ton of time with Nurk this off season. Even traveling with him to Bosnia. The Nuggets didn't give him anywhere near this much attention.

    Give it more than 5 games.

    I like extra salt on my forum posts. Mixum didn't bother me; I got a few good laughs every day out of that clown.

    More like a Mixum maxium ratio than a maximum Mixum. Probably 1:20

    I like your answer scientifically, but mine rhymes better.

    I am just happy that Nurkic is not the new Meyers.
