I remember the rep about McGee over the years was bad but he's seems to have grown up and played pretty well in his role.
It's okay, TBpup. People dont like looking at things that show we have an inadequate coach that gets carried.
We still have people on here talking about Meyers POTENTIAL ?? That's hilarious ! The guy is going into his 8th season !
well he is now in a contract year and if he wants to even play or see any decent contract check out this Woj quote about Cousins. being a knucklehead or slacker does not pay, and after Miami if he can't play well/hard for Portland with Lillard's leadership then few or no teams will want him next year: TheWarriorsTalk @TheWarriorsTalk Woj says there’s no market for Boogie Cousins"
Im sure the knucklehead part is part of it, but the Torn Achilles then the quad injury sure don't help Cousins status. Im not saying that bringing in whiteside is a bad idea, or that it wont work.
This. I expect that Meyers is going to take a leap forward and really start to figure the league out. I don’t think it was ever going to happen in Portland, though. Sometimes, guys need a change of scenery to blossom.
Hey, I even gave him credit for some things....but that part is often conveniently ignored so no worries. If someone doesn't read or respond to the bigger picture of the post(s), I don't worry to much about the response. And I won't proactively cut anyone off or call their responses lame. Each has their opinion. Some are open to a discussion of those, some are not. No big deal.
One of the biggest boons to the Blazers last year was signing Kanter. One of the biggest this year could be NOT signing Kanter. Before the deadline, Neil replaced ET with Bazemore, giving us shooting and a Hood replacement. He needed to use any $$$ he had to Kanter to play C while Nurk was out. So, he offered his money to Kanter who, for whatever reason, declined (only to accept a similar offer from Boston, later). So, we still had our $$$, and we immediately pivoted back to Hood. Neil didn't think Hood would even accept this, but he did. So, we needed a C, and traded for Whiteside. Because Kanter said no, we ended up with Whiteside/Hood/Bazemore instead of Leonard/Mo/Kanter/Bazemore. Thank you Kanter, for saving us again!!! Welcome, Whiteside!
What surprises me is that Neil prioritized Kanter over Hood even though he seemed to already have the Whiteside deal set up? Was this more a public relations move than a basketball move?
Qualifier: If it's true that he prioritized Kanter over Hood and was ready to give up the Whiteside deal if Kanter signed.
Remember, we could be hoping to trade the max expiring contract of Chandler Parsons right now...or just stretch buyout him.
there's a rumor that bigs take longer to develop. Besides, Meyers was labeled a project when he was drafted. 10th year Meyers will be awesome
and then Miami max's out another malcontent in Jimmy Butler. Wonder if that marriage will last as why he wanted to leave Philly for the Heat is a head scratcher.
