Interesting tidbit in Yahoo article about free-agent Centers

Capela plays 100% of the time C

Thanks for the correction. I don't see their games often enough to know. 6'9" can be a center in today's NBA, I guess. Swanigan may very well end up playing that spot.

As tempting as it would be to extend him now, I think the Blazers really do need to let him earn his next deal, unless he's willing to extend for a team-friendly amount (which would probably be foolish on his part).

Based on today's market - or lack there of... Do you think Portland ought to try and use that as leverage to negotiate a discounted extension with him now?

Hell yeah. If Nurk plays a full year he's commanding Max money. Period.

Anyone know what Nurk's max will be?

Last summer was like an eBay auction. The buyers got caught up in the bidding frenzy, overpaid, ended up with buyer's remorse and are now looking to resell the crap they bought at a loss.

If only the NBA had made the same transition to Fixed Price and Make Offer listings...

BRK made an offer for Crabbe. We should have accepted it.

I don't think Nurk is working this hard for the money only.

Dude has a passion for this fan-base, and he knows how passionate this fanbase is about him. There was so many times where he talked about wanting to see how crazy he could make the fanbase get by playing well.

Nurk's from a small village in Bosnia. I don't think he's working this hard to get $20M a year, because I don't think he's a guy that wants to have an 8-story mansion on a California beach with 10 sports cars parked in his garage.

The dude's grinding for this franchise.

Tuzla, Bosnia isn't exactly a small village in Bosnia.

In Bosnia, I'm sure they consider Portland, OR a small village in America.

Tuzla is 3rd biggest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Nurk was born there, thats why hes saying hes from Tuzla, but his roots comes from a village near Tuzla...
