If Gobert is worth 205 for 5 what is Nurk is worth.
His, Wall, Love & Westbrook hands down are the worst contracts in the NBA. Now thats just my opinion.

Guru….we got noth’n but opinions here ;)
Although there are a few who believe every word they come up with! LOL

You know what I’m saying; Melo and Kanter must be re-signed imho

Didn't they blow a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets also?

CONGRATULATIONS TO NICOLAS BATUM! Got PAID by Charlotte, bided his time, and is now in the WCF! And he's actually leading the Clippers in +/- with +127 (!) over the playoffs.

I KNEW HE WASN'T WASHED UP!!!
Okay, I didn't know, but I'm still happy for him.

I cannot actually believe Batum hit that three when they needed it in the fourth. As sson as he let that go i was like" MISS!" but it went in. He always misses that in crunch time.

$10-12 M

Centers who can't stretch the floor or defend the perimeter are just not necessary in today's ultra-talented NBA where everyone can make you pay from the outside.

Factor in Nurk's history with injuries, inconsistent play, and struggles finishing around the rim, I'd be hesitant moving forward with a large contract for the big man.

Not sure what you're saying, but isn't the lesson here that maybe Stotts ain't that bad?
Let's see if the Jazz panic and fire Quin Snyder.

Yes, I was being sarcastic at Blazer fans who were hyping Synder as some great defensive coach. Don't get me wrong it was time for Terry to go, but
I am not sure even his teams gave up back to back 40 pt quarters in a playoff game. (Although I don't doubt someone will look it up and prove me wrong)

I simply cannot disagree with this.
What i would like to see is Nurk with a different head coach and maybe even add a true Big man coach to help him dominate around the rim. Way too many finger rolls when he should throw it down. Then we started to see the beginning of a three point shot. He needs to continue to improve with that. Look at Jokic for example. He has a spot at the top of the key that he is almost automatic from. Nirk needs that shot.

My overall feeling is i want to see where Nurk is next year. The part of his contract that is guaranteed is 4 million. I feel we should wait for the trade deadline next year and then make a decision.

The above was a collection of shorts posts out of my collection, mocking a certain poster here on S2.

Isn't it surprising when guys like him and Blake Griffin are playing like they are washed up until they get bought out?
 
Man I feel sorry for The Greek Freak! He deserves so much better from the TRASH ASS FRANCHISE! Me and Sly been telling you all year!
 
A Middleton for C.J. swap makes too much sense for both teams.
