    That wasn’t his only problem. He could barely move, with or without the ball and had nothing to offer outside of an open, set, three.

    Journeyman for a reason.

    His scoring has improved with all the PT he's been getting in the G League. He's never going to be a guy you look to for scoring, but at least he's efficient and opportunistic and seems to know his limits. Snd, yes, he's a very good rebounder and a pretty decent shot blocker.

    Were his teammates laughing at the underhand free throws, or the fact he was wiping the soles of his shoes before each one, LOL.

    Sign him!

    I’m not cheering against Meyers, just think it’s time for all parties involved to move on. Maybe he puts it together this year...

    Morrow is a big no. He acted like he was playing in a YMCA rec league. I don't even know why the Blazers brought him in.

    All I know is a lot of my son's friends from OSU ..one played with Payton call him a really selfish asshole who plays a selfish game...who knows...maybe not getting on a roster has humbled him...kids grow up I guess. He's a big question mark but maybe worth a look...we seem to keep a good locker room..don't think our vets put up with much BS

    What they need is players that's one or two years down the road that might make our team. Onuaka to fits that bill for me.

    Onuaku has the best chance. Portland needs another big. Our 2 ways will be a couple bigs. Or a big and a stretch foward. Blazers don't need any more guards.

    Batum? Are you thinking of McMillan? Terry’s offense is consistent motion.

    Stauskas isn’t just a set shooter either, it’s just the box he’s been put in so far. That’ll change in Portland.

    In Portland he’ll be a towel waiver with Meyers!
    (I’m mostly joking).
