I believe in Meyers. Need him to be annoying to Draymond and fuck up his psyche.

Man, the amount of hate in here for one of our own guys is almost disturbing. I wonder what great achievements mankind could have accomplished if so much time and energy hadn't been spent on finding new and creative ways to criticize a bench player. My heart weeps.

Its pretty common for the board.

Crabbe is worth the money, imho. I'd keep him. Turner... ehn I'll wait to see how he does in the playoffs. Leonard? I hope he has a nice summer.

You have to trade 2 of Crabbe, Meyers TankHard, and Turner, and I don't think Neil will trade an FA he just signed. So, if you keep Crabbe, you probably have to ditch Nurk - an unsavory prospect.

Nurk is actually untouchable unless his leg falls off. The luxury tax limit should be avoided but depending on your point of view, starting it up when you resign Nurk isn't the end of the world, if you think you're going to be worldbeaters. At that point, though, you probably trade your bench for vets.

Whoa, you totally lost me on how you came to this conclusion. Nurkic isn't going anywhere - CJ would be traded before Nurk, and I don't think CJ is getting traded anytime soon.

Yep! Back when Leonard was backing up LaMarcus, the threes seemed gimmicky but useful in a "Albuno Channing Frye" sort of way. Now that our identity is set, Meyers has to learn the skills that will make him a successful backup to our starting center. At the very least, if he learns them, he can be traded for more than a sack of Funyuns and a 2027 2nd Rounder.

Mmmm....Funyuns......
 
The way I see it there are 2 options for Meyers:

1. Complete brain transplant.

2. Something like this, and let Sly work the controls.

We're not going to be in the luxury tax when Nurk gets paid, we're in NOW - more than $20 mil over would be my guess based on
http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/POR.html

This coming year we're at $140 mil - CJs extension has kicked in. Subtract 6.7 of Ezeli's 7.7, and we're still at almost $134 mil. If the luxury tax is about $115 next year, then we're about $19 mil over. We need to dump salary or we're over this coming year, and if we're in the luxury tax before Nurk signs, then we'll be in repeater tax territory.

So, my point is... How do you dump $20 mil without trading Crabbe for a cheaper player? It's rhetorical, you can't.

If we can trade Crabbe to Brooklyn and fleece them for picks and cheaper player(s), then great.

Turner has been a boondoggle, but we're probably stuck with him.

This thread needs to F' Off. I bought his damned Jersey. Backup C of the future. Nuff said....

You should have donated it to charity earlier when you had the chance. Although, you might find someone who will use the jersey as a set of Blazer rags.

I think we would hit the jackpot if we could trade him to either team in exchange for only a bag of pork rinds!

So now our list of current possible trades items include options of....
1: Pork Rinds
2: Funyuns
3: A bag-o-chips
4: A Klondike bar
5: A DVD of E.T. (Blueray preferred)

Someone HAS to bite on one of those....

It's gonna be even harder to dump salary when everyone knows we're desperate...

Why does everyone think that Turner isn't a good fit here? Just cause he can't shoot threes?

Yeah, I agree 100%. Sure, it took him a bit to get into the team flow. Then he BROKE his hand. People think he's gonna be shooting awesome after coming back from that??? I think he's doing great, considering everything. LOVE his passes, and mid-range game. IMHO, NO would look stupid if he immediately traded him, after giving him a huge contract. Don't see it happening....
 
the hate train is strong, good stuff.

as a pioneering member of the FML crew, it's great to have the club basically at 'standing room only' now.

he's

terrible
delusional
overpaid
blind
confused
allergic to big-man skillset
dorky
growing a mustache that looks even WEAKER than his bball IQ..... approximately a -58 mustache.
just a fuckin waste of space
great example of what not to do as a big-man (unless you're KG, Dirk etc)

i could go all day

but seriously, fuck meyley.
