    Pardon my ignorance, but when you have screws or plates etc put into you like this, are they eventually removed?

    I don't know? Gortat could actually make a difference? Just saying. Pretty sad though that Meyers is bad enough to make me think that could be an option at all.

    Usually they are kept inside. There are some rare circumstances that will cause them to have to be removed.

    I don't think it's worth the financial impact and who knows if Gortat is even in game shape to play anymore.

    I think they need to play Zach a lot and make him sink or swim a bit. He’s almost half way through his rookie contract and I think its time they figured what they have there.

    I understand. But seriously i don't have much confidence in Meyers. I want the best. I know he tries really hard. I understand he has stayed positive and has always been ready for whatever he is asked to do...... Oh hell.... Lets see what happens! GO MEYERS!

    They kind of did that last year against the Pelicans, he averaged 17.5 minutes and played in all 4 games. I was expecting them to build on that this year after letting Ed go.

    Zach's minutes per game this year though: 17.5

    They told us my son could leave them in and he'd never notice them at all. There are a few occasions after some time that they can have them removed if they want to though.

    Yeah, It seems like his minutes really went down after Kanter came in, I think he needs to play.

    Meyers is fine. Who knows he may even win a game for us in a playoff series if he hits some flameballs. This is also a reason we signed Kanter. I know his defense isn't as good but he was literally averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds a game this year just like Nurk was.

    F69B5472-83F2-4B1A-8744-48DD123E4AF6.jpeg Am I seeing things or does Nurk’s left foot appear to lean to the outside in this photo (u may have to zoom in)? I believe this is called over-supination. It’s apparently fairly common but Nurk’s seems particularly exaggerated. I wonder if this is putting extra strain on his bones/joints, especially when he lands? Probably nothing and I’m sure the Blazers training staff have put extra cushioning in his shoe(s) to compensate ...

    that I don't agree with. Rich teams like the Lakers could afford 100-200 million in dead salary; they could just keep rolling the dice until they rolled hard 8's

    Wish he could have used that excuse on the WestBrick technical.

    He must get that from his mother.

    Or his real dad.
