    Does this make him a RFA after the season? This probably means they want to develop him, which I would agree with.

    Maybe we can get Papasmurf in the off-season.

    At what point do they just consider swallowing Meyers’ contract and letting him go

    After the trade deadline of the 2019-20 season. It doesn't make sense before then.

    Stretching his contract means we can't trade his expiring contract starting in the summer of 2019. I think he makes too much to stretch considering it doesn't give us cap space anyway.

    But would it get us further away from the hard cap number? Would it allow us to use the full MLE?

    I think you're still confused about the hard cap. The Blazers aren't in danger of it unless they do something dumb. I know it doesn't make sense but they are WAY more flexible not getting hard capped. They want to use the tax-MLE not the full one. Then they can still use the TPE's too.

    With their free agent situation getting hard capped for using the full-MLE would result in saying goodbye to all but maybe one free agent of ours. It makes zero sense to stretch Meyers, like none.

    I’m resigned to the idea that the only way we get rid of Meyers is if we find an equally shitty contract to take on as a project. Since I haven’t found one, we’re probably stuck with him.

    I think that he, in combination with our short big man coach, will be in charge of coaching and working out Nurkic.

    I'm happy about this signing.

    Meyers played a very, very solid 5 minutes last night. This gives the Blazers the flexibility of trading or keeping Meyers. Either is fine with me.

    PapaG went from being waived by one of the worst franchises in the league, to being signed by a contender with one of the best locker rooms in the league. Do doubt that was a great moment for him.
