    I consider contributing to be making a positive difference. Playing isn’t enough.

    The pathological smearing. These past few days are rough for fans of the players. What separates the fan who sees numbers and wins vs. the fan who sees showmanship, camaraderie, effort, sincerity, loyalty, and time spent? Most people are somewhat in-between, but the real Meyers haters are above all of it - they ignore every noun used above AND they ignore numbers and wins.

    He blocked more fans on social media than in actual games.

    Fact.

    Even if it took him that long to shine enough in one playoff game for us to trade for Hassan Whiteside than Hey the End justifys the Means!! Much Love Meyers

    Meyers shoots the ball too well to be out of the league after this coming season, unless he decides to quit. A bad year for him (shooting wise) is an OK year for most players.

    Remember who he went to Miami a team if you don't play defense you don't get off the bench. Yes Leonard offensive is pretty good but his defense is below average and he sure not rim protector. But I hope proves me wrong.

    he blocked me after just one tweet.

    i think i asked him how he had the balls to make that Rise Up movie or something.

    and i think i called him Meyley Biebtard or something.

    all justified.

    No he won't be. Meyers will play at least another 5 years and will make another 30-40 million. I would be very willing to bet on that.
    His body has not been beat up. His minutes are low. He is over 7ft tall and can shoot the ball. The type of game he has is not hard on his body at all.
    Last but not least a team will need him as a backup at the very least. Even vets minimum for his years will be 2-3 million a year. That gets him 15 million. He would be stupid to pass that up.

    Is his name misspelled on purpose? Is that part of the irony?

    Next season I imagine Meyers will play Center for Miami (or other NBA team fortunate enough to get him) and average at least 20 points and 12 rebounds while scoring more than 42% of swish3s. This could have been on the Championship Blazers, but we gave that away and now must depend on Hassan Whiteside. I imagine that Meyers will continue to progress as an offensive weapon and increasingly potent defensive player, contributing to making the Playoffs. We will see if Hassan can be part of the Blazers making the Playoffs next year. The irony would be Meyers, but not the Blazers, reaching next season's conference finals.

    My question is: Why are you still here then? This post admits you're just a meyers fan, not a blazers fan.

    Go to the heat forum. Bye.

    He is a super athletic 7 footer who can shoot 3s. There is no way in the world he does not get another contract.

    Yes, Riverman, I am a Blazer fan. But we have given up a major talent in Meyers that would most likely have taken us to the NBA Championship. Now we will struggle to make it to the Playoffs, and may not see the Conference Finals again soon. The tragedy is that Blazer coaches did not better rely on this truly outstanding talent to average 3 or more swish3s game, which were always available. In the coming season, if Anthony Tolliver can do it, we might hope for the 120+ point scoring per game that will be needed for winning in the Playoffs. Dame, CJ, Nurk, Rodney, and Zach all deserve our encouragement, and hopefully Hassan will contribute to Blazer success. Let's remain optimistic!
