Bosnian media so take it with a grain of salt.

15 million is about right for him.

If they're paying Turner 18, and Meyers little pony 11, paying 15 to Nurk is an absolute steal.

You are calling a contract a steal by comparing it to 2 of the worst contracts in NBA history lol

 

[Scalma]

According to that article it’s a 2 + 1 contract. So I’m guessing there’s a player option on the third year. Would be a great deal especially when you consider how much Steven Adams got.

Yea I think it was a fair deal for the big man.

So did you post this on Reddit, or just quote them?

This is overpaying. in this market, this isn't necessary

Kind of seems like it to me too.

Compare to Randle 2 yrs 18 mil instead.

If it keeps the Nurk happy and motivated - it is fine. It is not a long-term contract, he is the Blazers 2nd or 3rd best player and the Blazers defense is night and day without him.

I am more than OK with this contract (if it is real).

Yeah, was that not abundantly clear in my post?

 

[kjironman1]

My bet is Nurk takes the QO and goes Full Unrestricted Free Agent after the Blazers trade Lillard this summer.

It’s not a terrible contract but not even close to being a steal... Neil once again bid against himself smh

Sigh...

The Oregonian scooped by Bosnian news media? Funny if true.

Meyers little pony

Now THAT'S funnier than Butters!

Actually, I think you got the Nurk part right.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

If Kyle O'Quinn only gets 4.5M, is Nurk worth 3 times that?

 

[BBert]

Sounds about right to me. Keeps him happy by slightly overpaying compared to this year's market. Locks him up for two years. Keeps him motivated by making the next two years "contract years". I'd be relieved if they make this deal and get it over with.

 

[julius]

I don't think I can take credit for it, but I don't remember where I heard it first.

I think maybe some people didn't catch the green font, haha.

I know, that's awesome, haha. Perfectly describes him strutting around and posting those embarrassing pics

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Young players tend to get paid for what a team hopes they can be someday.
Mid-20’s they get paid for who they are.
After that it’s mostly hoping they won’t drop off during that contract.
If this is true it’s the Blazers paying him what they think he’ll be.

 

[julius]

Well, yes.

O'Quinn is 28, Nurk is 23 (soon to be 24). It'd be much wiser to invest in a younger and taller player, who is already putting up better #'s.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Well, yes.

The only place where Nurkic's numbers are better is points, and that's simply because he shoots more often. O'Quinn is more efficient, and is equal/better everywhere else.

And I understand "investing in the younger player", but 3X as much per year, for a skillset that many argue is being mostly phased out?

 

[BBert]

Yeah, Nurk's a starter, and will continue to get better. O'Quinn is a nice backup, and what you see is what you get.

View attachment 21448

the figure that stands out to me is age...Nurk is 4 years younger....given 4 more seasons I think Nurk will eclipse the comparison by a large margin

 

[BBert]

The advanced numbers aren't better. And I understand "investing in the younger player", but 3X as much per year, for a skillset that many argue is being mostly phased out?

What? The pick and roll, defense and rim protection are being phased out?

Thanks Obama Hillary
