    It deserves its own thread.

    Why is this an issue? (Addressing the OP)

    I tend to agree, makes me favor that mgmt may think Zach is COTF, there are quite a few serviceable C's available for cheap

    I think they're simply "not sold on Nurk if they can have Cousins" for the future.

    a huge gamble IMO considering the Achilles injury - assuming a large contract might hve been offere

    And that’s how we ended up with an overpaid Evan Turner...

    I still don’t believe it. At the end of the day the agent works for the player. You really think he was like “no Demarcus don’t take that contract that gives you long term security because I have this other guy who might get put on the street”

    Come on. Contract wouldn’t even have been discussed without the agent.

    This sounds like an Olshey leak. Probably the same as last year with Carmelo and George. “It’s not my fault guys we had the best offer!”

    I can somewhat get behind this theory.

    It’s easy to claim to “be in the mix” for a player after he’s already gone....

    I was in the mix to date Scarlett Johansson, but just barely missed out. It's the truth. I swear.

    How do you think Nurk will feel about this? Olshey sucks at his job, but he's not that dumb is he?

    The Blazers once had like 9 former lotto picks on their roster back in the late-90’s....

    Not that it meant much...
