    He shouldn't sign it but we should offer it.

    Same with Harkless. I don't know why anyone would sign an extension when players like Jeremy Lamb get 21 million in 3 years.

    FWIW Ewings 6 year 33 million contract in 1991 made him the highest paid athlete in pro sports. Source

    With the way he's played over 4 games might want to put any money in the bank he can now.

    Does anyone have the numbers on a contract extension for Meyers? Is it 100% of current salary?

    Do you think it is likely he plays this poorly for 82 games? I don't, and anything close to what he did last season in limited minutes is likely enough to garner interest from other teams. Meyers isn't going to fall out of the league if he has a terrible season this year. The skill set is there which will be enough for somebody to take a swing at him.

    You maybe right, but I might also be fortunate that Nate didn't take my bet. He is having a miserable start this season.

    Quick just reported Leonard turned down a "sizable extension" to "bet on himself."

    Meyers Leonard and the Trail Blazers were unable to come to terms on a contract extension before Monday’s deadline, as both sides agreed to revisit his future this summer when he becomes a restricted free agent.

    "I'm betting on myself,'' Leonard said after passing on the Blazers' offer.

    Terms of the Blazers' offer are unknown, but a source with knowledge of the discussions said Leonard passed on a "considerable" offer.

    Yes, Quick said it was a "considerable amount". Of course, who knows what that means, but I have a feeling this will backfire on Meyers. I honestly just don't think he's that good. If a team wants to give him a big contract, let him be their mistake. He's a mentally fragile 7 foot spot up jump shooter. We need some guys who are tough inside.

    If he doesn't start hitting shots, Vonleh is a tougher rebounder, has a better handle and is a better passer.

    Smart move by the kid, if he can get his game on point.

    Two out of three; Meyers is a really good passer, and I've seen nothing to tell me Vonleh is better.

    I've seen Meyers make passes Vonleh can make. I've seen Vonleh make passes off the dribble that Meyers can't or hasn't yet.
