    My guess is Collins fills the same role he filled this season at gonzaga, back up center. Comfort with role and defense gets him on the court immediately. Then as the season goes on you'll probably see him sharing the court with nurk more and more as he transitions to power forward.

    As for Swanigan, I think there will be a battle with Vonleh for minutes.

    Meyers is done. If he's still on the roster, he won't be in the rotation.

    Might as well just write off the contract.

    Someone will take Meyers for little value or for free. He is still very young, very athletic and does have a nice shot. I wanted us to give him another year, but given who we drafted I don't see him being ahead of either. So, it appears time to cut bait.

    Someone will take him. I'm confident in that. We just won't be saving much money from it.

    Can we just give Meyers to Popovich. He's 0 for 1 on LMA so give him a shot with Meyers to get to 500

    Everyone knows Meyers shouldn't have gotten a 2nd contract. Neil was drunk that day he offered that to him...

    I've thought about that a lot. Hilarious if Pops turned Meyers into a player

    When does the season staret?/ When does summer league start?

    Collins? Swannigan? Layman? Connaughton? Possibly Vonleh? We should DOMINATE!!!!!

    July 7th in Vegas I believe. Wish it was more than 3 games but it's just a showcase.

    Wouldn't even be mad. I'd play Steppenwolf Never Too Late and show him video of 80s and 90s centers.

    It's not too late to change Meyers. ( I doubt he reads this but just in case)

    Clearly this is what they will play when he scores in the RG.

    It's summer league. Guards dominate. They'd have to get the ball first

    His form is nearly perfect from three.

    Skillset-wise he's somewhere between Z-Bo and Rodney Rogers.

    I strongly disagree on his form.
