    Fully in the Blazers are better by subtraction in regard to Meyers.

    I've never seen an NBA big so allergic to contact. One who bends at the waist (and closes his eyes) to avoid even perceived contact that may (or may not) be coming.

    Meyers being in the league is out of his league.

    Seriously? That would be awesome!!! allowed to shoots some balls?

    Maybe they would adopt the Zeros as a practice squad training team for the third stringers.

    We had two different meetings with KP, Cho even bought us pizza and we ate in the draft room while he talked to us. Very cool.

    Olshey will meet with us if we buy $50k worth of advertising. #TrueFact

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Whitsitt had a meet & greet with us, but it turned out that he wanted to sell us to Chinese investors in return for robots that could throw passes to the Seahawks' receivers. So that was unpleasant--we didn't get to ask many questions and most of the answers were in Mandarin.

    @magnifier661 can write it off as a business expense for the rest of us.

    Perhaps Paul Allen should sit next to Mark Cuban and be dissed so he could wake up.

    I love Mark Cuban on Shark Tank! He's a cool guy, are Maverick fans giving him guff?

    I guess you never watched the Blazers when Aldridge was on the team?

    The George Karl analysis is ridiculous.

    The problem is 100% on Neil.

    You can't surround Dame/CJ with mediocre talent and expect to compete in the West.

    Neil lacks creativity. I fully expect him to pursue Monroe or Thad Young. Thus, our indefinite stay in purgatory.

    I want someone to tell me how HAVING THAT MONEY GONE for 4 seasons is better than HAVING IT GONE for one season.

    Maybe there were no better FA options that NO could have signed last off-season, I will agree with you there.

    However, we would still have the option to trade for a player on a rookie contract that can actually play BB, and then use the money to re-sign him to RFA contract.

    Now with the luxury tax kicking in, we can trade for a good player on a rookie contract, but we will never be able to re-sign him to a RFA contract.

    Instead, we are stuck with below average bench players for three more seasons that are making starters money. STUPID!!!!
