    Poor Meyers. Nice kid, seems like he cares, but man ... Olshey. Oof, I get drafting the guy, but paying him all of that money last summer has some bad optics.

    I wonder what percentage of blazer fans thought that was a good signing? I bet 95% knew it was stupid!

    as mentioned before, the only thing this bitch blocks is people on twitter that call him out.

    I get why people are disappointed in Meyers. Really though? Your anger is completely misplaced; this is on Neil Olshey 100%.

    Stotts deserves some of the blame. The only coaching he's received is how to shoot threes.

    Five years. That's a lot of off-seasons to work on your game. As for the coaching he's received, I think his move to the perimeter was the only thing that he showed much talent for; kind of hard to pin that on Stotts and his staff.

    The last line in the video sums it up quite nicely.

    This. If I were below average at my job and my boss paid me like an above average employee instead of firing me, that's on my boss.

    he's a fuckin tool. meyers that is.

    cant stand criticism, has gone backwards in development, uses none of his attributes for things we actually need - he's just a clusterfuck.

    then i saw on his twitters, 'basketball is what i do, not who i am' - well ok, fuck him even more then. it just aint everything to him, and it shows.

    Let's also not forget the ridiculous unjust firing of Kim Hughes (also on Olshey). Leonard seemed to be progressing at the end of the 2014-15 season, and has done nothing but regress since.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    It shouldn't be everything to him. I don't think any humans, even well-paid ones, should be defined by nothing but their jobs. Basketball is what he does (badly), just like basketball is what LeBron James does. I'm pretty sure James also wouldn't want to be identified as nothing but a basketball-playing robot, considering he does a lot of things outside of basketball.

    I'm pulling for the guy and I hope he gets better. The odds aren't great at this point. Something ain't right between the ears.

    In the meantime I'm trying to look at Meyers as entertainment. When he comes in the game, I can hardly wait to see the antics. The Charlotte game had so many examples of dumbshittery it was hard to choose my favorite , but I think I'll go with the play where the Blazers were in transition and Meyers was all alone backing toward the rim being covered by smallest guy on Charlotte. He catches the pass and just has to turn, jump and dunk the ball over the puny defender but, seemingly without knowing his proximity to the rim, decides to pass the ball out to 3-pt line for a rim-jarring 3 attempt by Aminu.

    Fuck, I'm tired of seeing them pass up shots from 5 ft and in to send it out for a three. I know it's part of the new NBA strategy guide and seems to be deeply ingrained in Stott's system. It also seems like the rest of the league has figured it out and knows how to stop it.

    My kingdom for a low post threat and a system that values high % shots.
