    i guess what im trying to say is that if meyers had 2 contracts, identical one here and one elsewhere, but the elsewhere was a starting role, he'd be gone. more to the point of that some people want to be a 'starter' and it matters in some way to them and is a factor..... even if they are delusional about their own abilities aka meyers.

    i know he's an RFA and we can match whatever he gets offered, but what im saying again, is IF he was offered 2 contracts with everything else being equal, except the other would have him starting, he's choose that if he was able, as he has stated he sees himself as a starter - not that that's his situation, but would be his choice....

    tbh i hate the fact he's a rfa, cause it means we MAY match an offer for him...

    Well that's fine you have such opinion but I disagree. He has a house and wife here, is very settled in and enjoys his teammates in Portland. Just like any of us living in a city for years; he'd have concerns of moving. I think he'd want to stay if the money was the same. Not that I'd care to keep him personally.

    He's real popular in Indiana...big following there. I could see him wanting to go back home..just hope Indiana offers him a max and Paul George wants to be in Portland

    I'm hoping the Blazers get Horford or another center and move him to the 4 next year...starting of course
