Zach Collins is ready

I like both the rookies...I noticed Collins has put on some muscle...they are both talented rookies, but they're still rookies with a lot to learn...still a year or two from being rotation players in my view. Collins is a good shot blocker ..I'll give him that.

 

he may blow a coverage now and then because of his inexperience but I'd say already he's one of our better defenders and deserves some consistent playing time. Davis is a UFA, I'm thinking we probably don't resign Vonleh who is an RFA, Meyers is Meyers, so why not start developing this guy who appears as good as some of the guys we already have?

 

I think Collins and Nurk could play some together, and Collins has more flexibility positionally and will likely become a solid backup to Nurk and eventually possibly the starting PF if we keep Nurk

 

What do you mean IF we keep Nurk?

 

Yeah i agree. They got to get that kid some minutes.

 

I don't "mean" anything, I try not to "assume" anything about Blazer personnel decisions. I don't expect this but what if Nurk and his agent demand a max contract or close to it - I think there is a chance the Blazers could balk at that and look to move him. I expect Nurk to be a Blazer, but nothing is set in stone

 

I think we forget that Nurk is only 23, and a young 23 at that since he hasn’t even been playing the sport for ten years. If someone offers him the max, so be it, you still match. I don’t see that happening though. There are only so many teams that have cap space and a need at center.

And FWIW, Nurk is more important to our team than McCollum so you move CJ before Nurk if it absolutely came down to it.

 

The one Meyers has had for 5 years? (sorry i had to)

(Meyers was solid last night too)

 

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
He deserves better? Do you remember he was a bench warmer in Denver?

WE DESERVE BETTER THAN NURKIC, I want a Karl-Anthony Towns, a Embiid, talents like that, not a mediocre center like Nurkic who's not even a top 10 center in this league.

You guys have no clue of the value of players, someday we'll have a real superstar and then you will realize what it is to have a true superstar

 

And someday you’ll have a real brain and you will realize what it is to have a true worthwhile thought.....

 

Your avy says it all about you.

 

Good one . My avatar and your nonsense. Great pairing.

 

The only players that should see any time at PF are Vonleh, Collins, Biggie. Ed needs to be traded. Aminu needs to be traded, or else see limited minutes at SF behind someone not yet on the team.

 

I’m about done with Stotts. I question whether he knows what he’s doing anymore.

 

hes out of his depth

 

no, I was joking when I said that
but I cant stand those imbeciles, cause they clearly dont appreciate Nurk as much as they should

I dont understand comments like: disappointing, underwhelming etc... when you say "disappointing" and "underwhelming" you describe scrub players like Rolo and Plumlee... "disappointing" and "underwhelming" Nurk is much better than those two scrubs

I know all flaws in his game and how good he can become, so we should appreciate 23 yo player like that... yesterday we had scrubs RoLo and Plumlee, today we have talented Nurk with a lot of upside and yet those people are acting like hes not good enough cause he didnt met their expectations so far this season
