    Yup.

    Guys, Nurk is only 23. Give the boy some time. You know damn well how good he can play when all engines are running.

    I’m fine with Nurk staying as long as Ed stays too, Ed has all the toughness and calmness around the rim that Nurk lacks. We would be in trouble without him. He’s my second favorite blazer by a mile.

    Zach Collins played all his games exclusively as PF, just saying!

    Nurk was very pissed at the refs and ever since he run into Adams, he didnt looked like himself... nothing to see there, not the first or the last time one player will play bad after he gets frustrated...

    Bobby Marks: The more I watch Zach Collins, the more I feel that Jusuf Nurkic could be expendable this summer. Especially if the money for Nurkic in FA becomes unrealistic.
    – via TwitterBobbyMarks42
    If that happens, Olshey will regret that he didn't take my advice and trade him when he had some value. Olshey has the team in a bad place; he can't trade the bad contracts he has, so the only way he can save money is to not sign the young guys, like Nurkic and Napier (and Vonleh). Hopefully Allen will allow him to go very deep into luxury tax territory for a couple years waiting for Turner and Leonard contracts to expire.

    I thought you might ask: Bobby Marks (born July 9, 1973) is the NBA Front Office Insider for ESPN, previously performing this position for Yahoo! Sports' The Vertical. He had previously spent 20 years working in the NBA, the last five as assistant general manager of the Brooklyn Nets. Marks began his work for ESPN in July 2017.[1]

    14/8 in 26 minutes, plus he anchors the defense.

    I don't see how this is a question.

    I really like the Nurk. I hope this team can sign him for a reasonable contract. $12-14m / year is what he should be signed for.

    Of course, if someone is going to throw the max at him, you probably have to let him go. But, who would do that?

    I wouldnt be suprised if he’s signed for around 10mil a year. There’s just barely any teams with money to spend and the ones that do have it are unlikely to throw it at Nurkic. He could come at a huge bargain.

    lol he is deluded

    theres no way POR let Nurk walk, whatever contract he gets, well match the offer and hell be given next 4 years to show himself... POR could have something special with Nurk & Collins combo and you SIMPLY DO NOT PASS ON IT!

    if we let Nurk walk, is there a guarantee Collins will be our COTF, of course not... but lets say that happens, well need both PF & SF, but if not, well need C, PF & SF... so the best possible move POR can make is to sign Nurk and play Collins in the starting lineup from the next season, or at least give him minutes with Nurk... let them play together, develop chemistry etc

    imagine, just imagine how good our defense could be with Nurk & Collins down the road and I think they would compliment each others game on offense... Collins has perimeter game, Nurk can play down low... YOU DO NOT LET NURK WALK WHATSOEVER!

    right on...Nurk is still a youngster and he and Collins in two years will be real tough on both ends, in side outside, pick your poison.

    Wow, so clearly we should do the opposite of whatever he advocates

    Oh, well shit then. If a guy who signed off on sending BOS 3 unprotected 1sts and a swap for Garnett and Pierce, the Lillard-for-Crash trade, who with the couple of 1sts he had left over drafted Chris McCulloch (who spent more minutes in the D-League than the NBA) and Plums, who traded Plums and Connaughton for RHJ and who decided he'd rather have D'Angelo Russell than Kuzma and Brook Lopez...if he thinks Nurk is expendable, I have to listen.

    The Blazers have good chemistry and a promising front court. Have to keep Nurk/Ed/Zach. It's not even a question. Meyers is a good emergency towel waiver and the jury is still out on Swanigan. I'd be happy to enter next season with those five.

    Paul Allen will match.

    Bingo! Always funny to see national media guy talking about how talent in Portland is expendable so as to see the Blazers become a weaker franchise. If there is someone good, the National media seems to think said player should book when his contract is up. It's asinine to think the Blazers won't sign a talented, developing, YOUNG, center to keep the ship rolling in the right direction. ASININE!
