    I really hate people comparing Leonard to Sabonis. They are NOTHING alike. Sabonis had such a natural feel for the game and was the best passing player we ever had--at any position.
    Meyers is... tall. (And even in that he falls well short of Sabonis.)

    Of our current centers Plumlee is actually a lot closer. He's a very solid passer and seems to have an idea of what he's doing on the court.

    NBC sports had an article saying they are not interested in moving Anderson at all

    They can look at Ryan Anderson all they want. They just better not trade for him.

    For fun.

    As management of my SF Giants like to say, "we kicked the tires."

    If this rumor is true, it would seem to indicate that the Blazers have serious doubts about wanting to sign Leonard to a big contract next summer.

    I don't think we need both Anderson and Meyers and unless they think Meyers leaves as a free-agent I would rather keep Meyers.
    Anderson is a more depandable player but is also less explosive and older. I think by the time Meyers is Anderson's age he would be better than Anderson even if Anderson is still the better player right now

    It's just not a good fit at this point in time. Last year? Absolutely. Right now? Nope.

    Ryno is an unrestricted free agent and could likely command more money than Meyers in the open market next summer. We already have too many bigs who need minutes, so I just don't see how swapping Meyers (+ change) for Anderson fixes that problem either.

    Leonard's atrocious play is making that a moot point.

    Hopefully if you read my post correctly you understand that I was never comparing Meyers to Sabonis. I'm just saying that's what we wanted him to turn out to be.

    I actually think Stotts wanted him to become Dirk

    People need to read instead of skim.... I in no way compared Meyers Leonard to Arvydas Sabonis.
