The official let's DUMP MEYERS thread

Every year the Blazers have at least one rookie to gamble on.

 

Leonard is not a rookie

 

I don't think we should ship him off for a 2nd rounder, I'd rather just keep.

That being said,

• Players can improve, a lot even. However, in terms of defense and rebounding he's just not on the road - his heart is elsewhere.
• He displays a stunning lack of common basketball sense. Despite his amazing athletic tools, it will take a long time for him to improve enough for us. In fact, I don't think basketball is his best sport - he'd be a kickass volleyball player.
• LaMarcus and Leonard are not compatible. Leonard would be better with a brawny pf who plays close to the basket on both offense and defense.
• If we make any sort of significant trade salary will have to go out. There are only 3 guys on the team making any significant salary. Matthews is the one who would be traded. If Matthews is indeed traded (we do have a lot of SGs) then Leonard will be used as a sweetener (or throw-in depending on your POV).

We will not just dump Leonard. If we trade Matthews, Leonard is gone as well.

 

Is he not our youngest player?

 

I was merely replying to a comment that Leonard was a rookie.

 

Being 7 foot doesn't make you a center. Besides, Meyer's standing reach and wingspan are more typical of NBA PFs than centers, because he has a long neck and average arms. If Channing Frye grew 1 inch, he wouldn't be a center either.

They need to start looking at Meyers as a PF. That's his best shot to amount to JACK SQUAT in the NBA. And when Joel get's back off to D-League with him! Meyers is a white Channing Frye.

 

Correct, he's 16 minutes into his sophomore season.

Hey Boob-No-More you never answered my question.....Would you trade Mathews in a trade for Zaza Pachulia?

 

Glad we clarified it... Thanks

 

Meyers for Larkin.

Get-r-done

 

Who can we get for Mo Williams and Will Barton?

Andre Miller?

 

As bad as Meyers has been that offer is insulting

You can keep the 45 y/o Nazr.

 

If Zaza Pachilia is the answer, you need to change the question.

I have come to the conclusion that your concept of fairness is deeply skewed!

 

Not.

Swayed.

 

You gotta point. Nazr sucks though. I think we would be even more frustrated with him.

 

As opposed to Freeland being 42 minutes into his sophomore season. Nonetheless, I feel confident in predicting that Freeland will never be an NBA star.
