Well, perhaps it is for the guy who started it. This isn't a Kickstarter campaign where the project needs to reach it's goal before they take people's money. BNM

The most damning quote comes from McCollum, "When he dedicates himself, the results will come." -- a teammate publicly mentioning this kind of thing speaks volumes about how his professionalism and dedication to his craft are perceived by the people that see him every day in the gym.
Be cheaper to pay maint guys at the Rose Garden to rig a light fixture to fall on his favorite 3 pt spot at a bad time (for him)
Plus, its not like Meyers is an alcoholic dickhead. He shouldn't get booed because he needs more court time and development. Just fucking sad to have dickweed Blazers fans like this. Same with the ones that boo him at the games and chant trade meyers.
No doubt. Meyers is a good dude and nothing would make me happier than to see him do the work he talked about in his exit interview and achieve success next year.
So you think he can be fixed with more playing time and development? How many more developing years does he need?
I don't think he could get worse. Yes, with a better system and a longer leash he will probably improve a bit. Not saying he will be awesome but he could be serviceable at some point.
