    Harkless' and Meyers' wiring is completely different. Harkless plays like he has an edge, while Meyer's has all of the grit of overcooked oatmeal.

    Neil's master plan is to not pay the repeater (luxury) tax, while cultivating young hi. In order to do that, he'll have to shed more salary (by June 2018?)
    Neil's master plan is to not pay the repeater (luxury) tax, while cultivating young projects with potential, while also searching for a game-changer. In order to do that, he'll have to shed more salary (by June 2018?). If you look at our current team and their salaries, it means Biebs is gone.

    Neil, and the rest of us, are hoping that Nurkic is that game-changer. However, Vonleh's glacial ascent and Chief's lost shot mean that regardless, we have a large hole at PF. This is what I hope Neil addresses next, and what the OP meant by using "Stiff" in the thread title.

    Rusy contributed far more. And he had confidence.

    I'm thinking "post-Ariza" Rudy.

    I think practicing against Nurkic will help Vonleh and Meyers out...he's Rolo big

    This. And Stotts should be brought up on War Crimes if this happens, because there will be an open revolt.

    Fair enough, but surely it's obvious to anyone that Nurkic is miles better than Leonard; regardless of who has better highlights or whatever have you.

    Yes, Free Meyers.

    Free AGENT Meyers.

    His dad would murder Meyers just out of sheer frustration.

    Not sure I agree with some of this.

    Meyers is NOT worth half of that contract. At all. And he will NOT get his shot back either. Even the guys over on BlazersEdge saw it back in January, and he's been getting worse ever since:

    Can you believe that Meyers drives this....

    If ever there was a vehicle that didn't go with someone, that was it.

    I think something like this would be more to his liking...

    Being that Fabio is a stiff, the thread title is 100% factual.

    I seriously need a dislike option for posts implying that Meyers is not awfully bad
