    At least, he's on the court. Meyers gets half of that money sitting on the bench.

    I'd honestly consider buying them out and get three D league players for hoots. Their production is wretched.

    Not I...I have been saying since October that the Blazers would be fighting for a 7th or 8th seed and that was before it became evident that some of the West teams that looked good on paper before the season started now look not all that good (Memphis, OKC, Denver, Clippers, etc.). If those teams were as good as most thought before the season started, Blazers would likely be well out of the playoffs now. However, even with those West teams struggling this year, the Blazers are only 2.5 games out of 9th place...not good at all! Blazers just need some major roster upgrades and a few game winning streak against bad teams will not change my mind!

    There is literally no incentive for the players to enter into buyout negotiations.

    Yeah well the baseball player showed he had a place on the court with his hustle and athleticism.
    People who couldn't see that last year, where just hating or blind.

    However Layman hasn't shown any nba skill. He's a volleyball player.

    What are the odds we can get all three off the books this summer? Or the worst ones being turner and Meyers at least? That’s just another year of nothing wasting dames prime years. You gotta wait until the right deal for cj but why hasn’t he at least been made available so teams can offer? I don’t get that.

    I don’t even know how Meyers pulled off that robbery to be honest. I think Neil just has too much pride in his picks. Meyers is a g league player. It’s insane

    You say this after every loss but where are you after the wins?

    I don't know if Olshey is "cowardly" and/or unwilling to make a big move as the Blazers really don't have much to offer (however, Neil did put this team in that position), but I do agree with the rest regarding this team being not that good and many of the wins against good teams came when the other teams star has been out. The Blazers roster is certainly flawed and needs some major improvements...Sad but True!

    Interesting theory.... actually I hardly post after any loss... or win.... I didn't post after last night's loss. Apparently I forgot to post after EVERY loss. My bad.
