LOL Where is he gonna go? Hopefully the big fella can stay healthy and we actually get him for a full year.
that statement from nurk clearly means that he dont want to play for terry stotts and that he wasnt happy with his role on the team
The team needs to resign Powell. The team needs to decide on the coach. The team needs to decide on trading CJ; with Powell and the growth of Simons I don't know that we need him. Then look at what to do with Nurkic; probably better to get something before he leaves for nothing if he will be unhappy. But also fine to keep him if he buys into the changes, he is very effective when healthy.
Foolish to trade Nurk finally showing signs of what we thought we had. Finally finishing around the rim and huge difference maker on defense. If we aren’t rebuilding I think I’d build around Nurk, Dame, Powell and take a lot for me to trade Covington. Everyone else is up for right price
of course, but "wanting to be in the right situation" means he wasnt happy to play under terry stotts
If you watched the interview it was clear he didn't want to be back if we had the same coaching staff. That was the crux (or underlying tone) of all the answers he gave. He wasn't asking out because he gave up on the team, but he didn't agree with his role.
he is, but he can ask for a trade if terry stotts stays head coach and blazers can refuse his request
I don't think Nurk is the level of player you give a rat's ass about in terms of trade demands. He's a 2nd tier C at best.
