Henderson's veteran leadership was quiet but I always felt he was the one guy who never got rattled. He was usually able to come in and get a shot to calm everyone down when we went through scoring droughts. I would love for him to stay but I agree with him... he is still capable of starting and he's earned a nice fat contract but, unfortunately, it's not going to be here.
I love how his exit interview is 17 minutes long but every answer was unique and repeated nearly no info twice.
I think someone posted something similar to this already but here is an audio (only) roundup of the exit interviews: http://forwardcenter.net/trail-blazers-talk-season-free-agency-during-exit-interviews/
I missed the Meyers' interview so listening to it now. Says he will be out the sling in 1-2 weeks. Shoulder seems to be progressing fine. Still a very long process though (not close to guaranteed to be ready by the end of training camp).
Meyer's focus will be leg strength this summer (probably about all he can due but still smart once again).
Crabbe kept saying he "doesn't mind" coming back. I really interpret that as - "I'm gonna go out and get my check, If you want me back you better match."
Luckily he is the very last guy we have to match on. His cap hold is tiny so we just need to spend our money first before we match on him.
Meyers said he is going to be around for much of the summer. He says he has a list of places on the coast that he wants to visit. Lol
Other then that not much on Meyer's. He has no idea on how he is approaching RFA. He says that is up to his agent to figure out.
Could be just his personality. He seems kind of quiet and guarded to me. Anyone know who his best friends on the Blazers are? Who he hangs out with? Seems like I remember him being close to Barton. I wonder if he has any close friends on the team now?
I don't think it's just the coast, he has a huge list of places all over Oregon to visit. He was asking people for suggestions on Twitter a couple weeks ago.
Eh, that's assuming we can get someone to commit immediately. I think it's that low cap hold that's going to get a team going after him right away. Other teams will know that we're relying on that low cap hold, so they'll try to give him a big offer quickly to get him to accept.
And truly it is 8 days we will have to talk a guy into it. There is 5 days that teams talk but can't sign anyone. Then we have 3 days after that to match on Crabbe.
