    I'd be OK keeping Meyers if it meant we got to unload ET's contract.

    Fuck, both Meyers and Anderson. I like my trade proposal better. We get rid of two of our huge contracts, lose Harkless, but get back three solid veteran role players and save $14 million in cap space this year, more going forward.

    Maybe that's not feasible, but I'd rather try to get that and "miss out", than take on Anderson's contract (at his age, with his injury history) all for the sake of getting rid of Meyers Leonard. Yeah, Meyers sucks, but I'd rather plant him on the end of the bench than take on an even worse contract.

    I guess "trying to find a home for big man Meyers Leonard" is a nicer way to put "trying to find a sucker."

    Poor Meyers. Nobody likes him (as a player) and now he's homeless, too.

    Edit: Oops, @barfo beat me to the punch(line).

    I bet Ryan Anderson would no longer be a hold up if Portland found someone to take Meyers.

    So Neil/Terry desperately want a big who can shoot from the outside. They were hoping for it to be Meyers but finally gave up. And they don't think the rookies are ready. This is the only reason they would want Anderson and his contract

    I'm not saying i totally believe it, just relaying the information. This guy back on June 28th said that Houston was talking to NY for Melo.

    Another thought.....Portland may end up getting nothing for Harkless+Leonard. Instead just using Harkless to move Leonard's contract.

    Dropping $20 million in salary would put Portland below the luxury tax level. Maybe they can poach a second rounder for their troubles.

    If this is indeed the scenario that goes down, what say you? Would you rather have Anderson over nothing?

    yeah what he doesn't say is who portland is getting back if they find a home for Leonard. Hard to believe that is the only hold up.

    I don't think Olshey has enough buzz words to weasel his way through a press conference after that move.

    Uhhh yeah I totally fucked up and had to give up in a promising player to get rid of a bad contract.

    At least if they got a player back he can force feed me some of that hope stuff I so desperately crave.
