I loved Plumlee's skill set, and think he was underrated at protecting the rim. BUT, I am so sick of seeing him dribble the ball up, 6-8' from the rim with no defender and then panic, looking for someone to pass the ball to because he was afraid to shoot. He did know his limitations, but this year I really thought he would develop a couple post moves and a semi-reasonable shot. Didn't happen.

Nurkic is obviously untested, but I did like the sampling in the video that showed decent touch, decent passing, solid defensive footwork and a bit of a mean streak. At 22 I love taking a chance on him. As others have said I would really like to see them pair him up with Vonleh for the rest of the season. If they could develop that would be one heck of a strong front court. Maybe Nurkic can bring out some mean in Vonleh. I would like to see that same mean get transferred to Biebs, but just don't see it happening.

“I pulled outside of my building and the protest was going right across from me,” said Plumlee. “This kid walked up in front of my car and he had a spray paint can, he pulled his hood up, put the mask over his face. I don’t know if he knew who was inside of the car, but I’m rather large, so if he was ready to spray I was ready to stop it.”

"Almost" ain't "did" is all.

I corrected my own. I posted the article and the quote then said oh yeah "almost". You're just being a dick about something pretty pointless so that tells me more about your character. It's all good though, I corrected myself. Not gonna continue to go back and forth with somebody like you. You win bro.

I kind of worry if we just ripped the heart out of this team. This will test the team's maturity and show if they've got the stones to be competitive in this league or if they just want to make friends.

the heart IMO was already severely damaged, most games we played seemed without a pulse, this is not some nice little club its a pro sports team where trades happen and guys are gettin paid tens of millions of dollars

This is A+ passive aggressiveness.

Indeed. Nurkic doesn't care about people's hurt feelings.....

Dame show what kind leader he is and welcome Nurkic to the team. I know he will but everyone is sad that Plum left. For the simple reason he was energy guy and hustle all over but he wasn't a anchor in the middle to move foward to get better.

I'm extremely disappointed that we don't play SAC or MEM any more this year. Both Meyers and Nurkic have a history of pissing off both Boogie and Marc Gasol. Nurkic loves to talk shit, but he may want to choose his targets a little more wisely:



and Meyers has a way of getting under people's skin just by merely existing.



If we do start Nurkic and Meyers together, we may have the highest piss-off-ability of any team in the league.

I'm actually fine with that.

Trade Festus for Tyson Chandler and you have yourself a rotation.
