    Rolo mailed it in after the allstar break...he was a big disappointment..guy started out great and fizzled at the season end every year...he came off the bench in Chicago end of last season...we dodged a bullet letting him go...the lottery Knicks didn't even keep him around

    I thought that was the BAE (Bi-Annual Exception).

    You have the MLE every year if you want. It's the Bi-Annual Exception that you can't use in consecutive years.

    Rolo is really slow.....Meyers may or may not have a good contract year....I have no idea how he plays now as he doesn't get to play but he doesn't have to beat Ed Davis for a job now

    Saratsis? I know nothing about him - other than than he represents a certain "unicorn" who plays for the Bucks. Just think - this is NO's idea of recruiting Giannis! :doh:

    Slower feet/quicker wits. I can never decide if Meyers is the least motivated player I have seen in years, or if he just has the worst B-Ball instincts. Rolo had less raw talent, but he sure knew the game better.

    Meyers may have the slowest "twitch" reactions I have ever seen in a basketball player, combine that with no apparent instincts its a "deadly" combo:banghead2:

    His last half season with the Blazers was a disappointment. It was like he knew the team was going to be broken up, and the heart went out of his game. I think the first season struggles were more about it being a big increase in his minutes played.

    Edit: Nope, I was wrong. It was the season *before* he became a Blazer that his minutes took a huge leap.

    Yeah defense is not his strong point. Surprisingly he still shot near 60% from the field (42% from deep)
    There is a possibility that next summer those 1 year contracts (Meyers and ET and Moe) could be useful in a trade.

    So we draft two players that play the same position as our two best players and then sign two players that play the same position as our two draft picks........ this is JUST now hitting me.......

    Don't feel bad - Neil still hasn't figured it out! :blink:

    Edit: Also, since I am feeling snarky, Simmons has no position other than "playground." At best, he is Telfair 2.0.

    The way I see it we're loading up on 3pt shooters...our defenders Chief and ET won't need to shoot them anymore
