    If Meyers plays like this consistently for the rest of the season and next season, then talks can be had. He is entering the final year of his deal after this season, so I believe he is eligible for an extension, which I don't want to see happen. I was kind of making my comment as a joke, but with the way Neil takes care of his draft picks, you never know.

    As in past years Blazers first 1/3-1/2 season are always used trying new combo's and allowing injured players (Moe) time to heal up, and for a rotation to shake out. Not unlike what other teams do as well.
    The 2nd half of season, imo, will be very telling on what NO's plan will be going forward to year five next season. Does he before the deadline, pull off a trade that will indeed improve the team, never any guarantees, or does he look to acquire 1st round picks through trades, does he let it ride in hopes that the team ratchet's it up for playoffs and advances. Does he want to face another 1st round loss or is he confident enough in the youngsters, to make it happen next year?

    Im guessing a trade involving anyone other than Dame is possible.

    I want him to play good enough for him to get off the team. So I cheer for him to be good enough for that. Because he will regress.

    I look at Nik Curry Aminu all be to subject to trade at deadline due there expiring contact. There also Layman and Baldwin. But my believe if there is a trade it be small one to attempt to get under the luxury tax.

    • Meyers Leonard led the Trail Blazers bench with 12 points and pulled down a team-high eight rebounds to go with two assists and one block. A night we all wanted from him and he delivered to his loyal fan domain.
