    Last summer wasn't a usual one due to his shoulder surgery. He wasn't cleared to use his shoulder until about October.

    What makes you think that? He got worse this year. He has shown nothing to make anyone think he can be even a servicable NBA player

    Oh must have been the year before. He would post on IG his workouts and I was like "damn bro play some hoops"

    It's mental awareness and confidence. That can be fixed.

    Besides, we are not gonna be able to trade him without losing assets or getting a dinosaur back. Not gonna shit on him if there's not much we can do.

    Every fucking year we get to hear the great white hype tell us all how hard he's gonna work, after yet ANOTHER disappointing season.

    Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me every fucking year, I'm a dumbass

    Portland should be willing to move him at all costs

    What's the solution?

    I would have traded him for Tyson Chandler if it was availble

    Meh, not a fan of the "dump them to dump them". Only look at what's the best solution. Rather have him sitting in the bench as a cheerleader than take back a worse contract or give up players or picks to move him, which it will take

    At this point it may be addition by subtraction.

    He's not a toxic player so it really isn't.

    Just to be clear, I said I'd be happy for him to achieve some success, not that I'm counting on it. I'd just as soon he get a new team to try to improve his game at.

    So you would trade valuable assets to get rid of him? I mean, that is what its going to take. Draft Picks, players on low contracts, etc.

    We would get at least a 2nd round pick for him. If he passes a physical.

    Potentially valuable assets and Meyers for a decent player on a shitty contract......probably.

    Remember, the 11th pick in the 2012 draft was an asset at one time.

    What is baffling though, if it is that evident to the players (the lack of dedication)- then why not to the TrailBlazers staff?

    Why reward a guy with a $40 Million dollar contract if he is not committed and giving it his all?
    Don't we have enough soft, low motor & nonchalant type characters playing for us already Neil?

    Olshey rewarding players like Crabbe and Meyers last offseason really sets a bad precedent for our team - with regard to culture.
    Come play in Portland and half-ass it - you'll be rewarded beyond your D-League dreams!

    Not sure where you get that viewpoint from. This is a Meyers thread, not Crabbe.

    Not once have I ever got the feeling that Meyers isn't giving his all. Just because someone sucks doesn't mean they aren't trying or giving their all.

    Now if you wanna discuss Crabbe and some others half assing it, sure.... But not Meyers.
