youre missing my point about opportunity cost. This signing will cost us over 7-10 mil after lux tax unless we shed salary at the deadline.
Eh, Nurk isnt exactly mr quickness, I suppose I wouldnt call him plodding either, he’s just massive and takes a lot of space, for his size I guess he (was) pretty nimble.
Only thing that fell off were his minutes. The metrics really didn’t. His role was minimized in San Antonio because they committed to Pöltl as their starting center, and Aldridge doubled at center on the second unit. As long as Gasol is healthy, he should be productive as Whiteside/Nurks backup playing about 15 minutes a night.
in a vacuum, for sure. we got a good mentor for zach and he can play 5-10 juwan howard/ kaman minutes. in the aggregate, im not as convinced it was needed. let's see.
I think so, because while I was answering I was trying to figure out if I would consider Nurk a “plodding” big guy or not. heh.
Besides when Nurk comes back, Whiteside will be traded for Otto Porter Jr solving most of our problems.
was on trade nba just now working out that move. and a backup PG off the waivers. Perhaps this move is more of a long term one after HW is moved.
1. i dont see him getting any meaningful minutes 2. you are who you defend. I dont know what PF in the current NBA he can defend.
I really think that is the plan. Olshey even tried to get Porter last season. I can't see the Bulls being good enough to warrant keeping him either. Who knows maybe between Dame, Simons, CJ, Bazemore, and Hezonja we might not need another PG.
regardless, im just glad we have something to talk about. Dog days are killing me. need to pick up a different hobby
Most of them? The majority of his minutes in Sacramento came at the four. He’s a great athlete and moves well laterally. He’s comfortable defending on the perimeter. His struggles come against size, specifically in the post. His offensive profile projects best at the four as well. He’s not going to be banging against any traditional center, but he will present matchup problems against most fours, especially all the undersized ones. He’s a young Aldridge. He’s 23 but he’s a raw 23 as he hasn’t been playing the sport that long, relatively speaking. Still can’t believe they got him for biggies fat ass.
If things get tight for Jody Allen, we can take up a food drive for her. I have a spare can or two of tuna fish I'll donate.
Well once you guys get electricity in your county out there, a world of opportunities will open up for you.
