Great quotes from Nurkic. I didn't think he'd be as impactful as he's been so far, and I'm so happy the Suns have him instead of that self aggrandizing delusional bum.
He’s already done more complaining about his role than Ayton ever did publicly (which was almost zero).
You’ll be much happier if you move on
I’m not the one constantly bringing him up.
You did here

You’re saying that referring to him as “that self aggrandizing delusional bum” doesn’t count as bringing him up?

Ayton complained on the court when he quit.

What does this mean?
Weird ass comment
I was wondering the same thing. Does he think he should be the star?
He’s made a lot of comments like this throughout the season.
Anybody have any idea what he's thinking or how he thinks he should be used? Seemed like a perfect time for the media to ask but maybe they knew he wouldn't answer.

My bad…I was skimming and didn’t see Ayton until your post. My point still stands…it almost seems like you resent Nurkic. Do you honestly not appreciate him at all? Just forget that he was Ayton’s replacement for a second…but it also tells me what your avatar is gonna be once I win our bet

Just a guess, but I think he's playing more high-post facilitator than he has before.

Yea I think they moved him outside because of our 3 scorers so he wouldn't crowd the lane, which wouldn't work with some other bigs. Blazers fans said he used to complain about wanting more post ups in Portland and I think he said something after the Nets game about how it was nice to get more shots inside? I don't think he'll make it an issue so long as he's playing with the Big 3 and we're winning.

So post trade this is what we look like:
Booker/Beal
Beal/EG
Allen/O’Neale
KD/Bol
Nurkic/Eubanks
That’s a 9 man rotation. I think adding Thad Young would take one of Bol/Eubanks out of the rotation(personally I’d take out Drew). I wouldn’t expect any of Okogie/Lee/Little/Roddy to be in our playoff rotation. Another ball handler in that last spot might be nice for regular season injuries.

Corey Joseph is going to get waived, any interest on him? Not sure who will be a better pg on buyout market than him but he kinda sucks tho lol.
Maybe Olidipo?
If those are our best options probably better to just sign Thad and Biz.

I like Robin Lopez. He'd be a nice backup big.

At least he's more offensively talented than Biz. He was hitting that hook shot against us the other night.

To the tune of 18 points. This season.

RoLo or Biz would be fine by me. Both are good locker room guys who play hard when asked to play a random 10 minutes.

Well, in my defense, I only watched him last game.

I think I'd prefer Biz over RoLo. Robin looks out of shape and has barely played this year; seems nearly washed. Biz is a machine and is in good condition, a strong rebounder and shot-blocker who also has a history on this team.

Some talk of Philly cutting Cam Payne if they get Lowry in the buyout market…we could bring him back. I’d be ok with that.
