    When you rape an argument with one word, the argument wasn't very good to begin with.

    Maybe they have but with music playing and doing your pre game warms up he start getting hype for game that natural. But seem like your going after everyone here when they give there opinion on something. Maybe you need to get laid so you can relax.

    What makes you so sure that what you've seen for 6 games outweighs last year's 20 games?

    Oh, the twat's a magnificent creature, all matted and covered with hair.

    It looks like the beard of a preacher, and smells like the farts of a bear...

    Another night shooting under 50% from the floor, Poeltl is a better prospect than him easily.

    But here come Jason Quick with the excuse of the lower back pain... The same Jason Quick that pushed hard for a Meyers Leonard's extension.

    Now we see the results.

    Jason Quick didn't give ANYONE an extension. How does that even matter?

    Will it be corrected without a good big man coach? And I think we need a big man coach who is big himself; Nurkich seems to struggle against guys as big as him.

    He has 14 points and 11 rebounds, wasn't that bad really. Embiid had a field day against him but this guy has been battering opposing centers for the last couple of weeks so it wasn't a surprise, he is just another level talent.

    Horrible start but he kinda got his shit together towards the end of the game
    He surely have a lot of potential

    Wait did I just say a forbidden word ?

    I think Nurk will likely end up an avg to at best a modestly above avg center, not elite or top 5 and likely not top 10. I think the key is what we pay a guy like that because that has to be considered. I think something like 13-16 mil per is reasonable/realistic, but it depends if he and his agent have their head in the clouds like Nerlens Noel or they will be reasonable

    So many turnovers, so bad free throw shooting, terrible %s overall. So lucky we didn't hand him a max contract and waited for the hype to go away. Of course he ll get a big one, but now you have the right to give him 70/4 or 75 and say take it or get what Noel got. Not many teams projected to have cap space and certainly none would give a max to Nurk. So we suck but at least we save money :breakdance: Not that it matters but the way he plays I just don't want him to get a max, he is bad right now.

    If we were win now I'd say the below proposal would be really good although we would probably still not be good enough

    This is the Nurkic I expected to see when we made the trade last year, so I can't say I'm horribly disappointed . . . of course I am a little disappointed, because if this is his mean level of production then this team is totally stuck where they are in terms of their ceiling: The same Damian and CJ show where they expend all of their energy on offense, have very little left for defense, and a bunch of guys who can't really shoot (Vonleh, Turner, Harkless, Aminu) launch perimeter shots that don't go in at high enough rate; this team needs Nurkic playing at least a facsimile of what he was last spring if they're going to have any kind of chance of balancing their attack on offense.

    Good news: I think it's correctable. Cut down on the silly turnovers, be a little more aggressive on the offensive glass, and finish with a little more authority inside.
