Free Agent Blazers sign Cameron McGriff

[julius]

Where’s Meyers in the midst of all these signings of stiffs to fill out rosters? I guess he really did commit the unforgivable sin.

he also wasn't any good.

I have never been a Meyers fan but the utterance of the K word while playing a video game should not justify the end of his NBA career. He's a dolt and if anyone else said "I didn't really even know what it meant" I probably wouldn't believe it but Meyers? Yeah it's probably true.
It's not enough of a transgression to take away his job, especially with all the other stupid shit pro athletes do.
Sadly, we could actually use Meyers.

Pretty much my thoughts.

Whenever anyone does something dumb it’s just part of an equation that determines their fate. K word + all star= he’s in league. K word + bad player = out of league. Why deal with the backlash for a bad player? It’s the same deal with Olshey. If Olshey had a title you think this “questionable behavior” behind the scenes would matter?

You are correct in thinking that the Blazers should try to sign Meyers now. I agree. Meyers is the only Blazer to have scored >80% swish3s in playoff games (both in 2016 and 2019). And he was more accurate than Steph Curry in the 2019 WCF game 4 first half scoring 25 pts on 5 of 6 swish3 scoring and 10 of 12 FG. If Terry had kept Meyers shooting with designed plays in that 2nd half, the Blazers could have won that game!

And Meyers was one of the best screen setters for other Blazers and made some excellent passes for assists that we need now. Under Chauncey, we would see a more productive Meyers who could provide the big man that the Blazers need. If Meyers is available, let's try to get him back!

For 10 days at a time. Sure.

Blevins isn’t better than a single NBA player and that is a fact. Blevins wasn’t a great player….at Montana State. Blevins should be nowhere near an NBA roster and it’s legitimately pathetic the team has done this. So whenever anyone wonders if the team bends over backwards for Lillard, here you go.

I also put some of the fault with Dame. He shouldn't prioritize family members getting NBA deals ahead of a more talented player for the team.

It's not primarily Dame's fault Blevins is on the roster, but assuming he had some impact in the decision (which is hard to imagine otherwise), then yes it would be partially Dame's fault.

Meyers was a joke on a multi year 8 figure contract.

I always thought he was a Matt Bonner style change of pace interesting 12th man. Thought so then when people were saying that we should max him instead of letting him become an UFA, or later people saying it was good value signing him to that stupid contract.

But he is better than what he is doing now being out of the league and he is better than multiple players on our roster. So I'm more than happy bringing him in on a minimum or non guaranteed deal.

He wouldn’t help on any kind of regular basis. Perhaps once in a while he proves useful.

I wouldn’t bother. Not a long-term prospect so use this opportunity to try out a bunch of relative unknowns and see if any of them pan out.

I’d rather have unknowns fighting for a spot than an over-the-hill ex-retiree or someone who has already proven they are a minimal role player at best.

It is 100% because of Lillard. If Blevins was cut tomorrow not a single team would pick him up.

I also don’t think he’s good enough for Europe. I have one in the family and Blevins isn’t even on that level. Probably not g league either. He’s the ex college player you see at the rec every Thursday.

100%. He is flat out not a pro. It’s frustrating and pathetic he’s been taking up space. Maybe he could play some bottom tier league somewhere strange like Iraq, maybe.
