OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD- March 2021

[wizenheimer]

I'm always willing to take shots at Olshey, but watching Brown last season, I thought he was just too slow to be an NBA player. I wouldn't have brought him back either. Of course, I'm not being paid 8 million a year to make those decisions. And it would be nice if the 2nd tallest healthy Blazer wasn't Rodney Hood

 

[Natebishop3]

Meyers is done.

[Tyrant of Ants]

Meyers is done.

I think he'll end up playing for the Jazz before he's done in the NBA.

I highly doubt that. Utah is dealing with some bad PR about racism and they're actually putting out press about a transgender law in Utah. They don't want to lose the All-Star game that's coming up for them. I think they're the one team that WOULDN'T sign him for sure.

Don't know, maybe you're right, but Meyers is such a Utah kind of guy.

 

[e_blazer]

Does Siberia have a team?

 

[B-Roy]

Moses Brown is dominating.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I wonder if Meyers knows the K in OKC doesn't stand for...

 

[Strenuus]

I knew meyers was gonna get put out of the league because he's such an awful player with no business being in the NBA, but I didn't expect this would be how it would happen.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The Hebrew Hammer is about to be without a team.

 

[DDolla]

Can we at least get Elle Leonard back with Coco?

 

[twobullz]

Man how heads would explode on this forum, if after Meyers is bought out, the Blazers signed him to a minimum contract for the rest of the season as insurance policiy.

[Hoopguru]

Do like they are doing in CA, get a Sports/RipCity Two petition going to remove if the multitudes are that serious lets get something done rather than back and forth, I can do that with me wife!

Meyers will be back in the nba, I almost guarantee it. Teams will just wait until things blow over. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t on a team next season. Not that I think he’s a good player or anything, but teams value good cheerleaders. And shooting is still the most valued commodity.

 

[Hoopguru]

She's someone's loved one and obviously a fan

The risk - reward equation would say no chance. Why would an owner want a guy who isn’t good except on rare occasion, who said what he said? Piss off fans and sponsors and employees for 5ppg? Yeah no thanks.

because no one will care about what he said by next season. At the end of the day it was a big idiot saying a stupid thing while playing video games. There’s been guys that have done worse and survived. Desean jackson posted a hitler quote and is still employed. Both are cases of ignorance rather than hate. Meyers will be fine.

How the hell can a Hitler quote be out of ignorance?

But Desean Jackson is good. Meyers isn't. I think that was Calvin's point. Not worth any negativity for what he brings. If he was 23, or if he was better, sure. For what he is?

 

[RR7]

I think it was that it was quoted, but without knowing who said it?

 

[Scalma]

because Desean is stupid.

Again. What’s the reward for taking this chance? Meyers barfs in a few threes every few games, gives you zero defense but is a good cheerleader?

Idk, he’s stuck in the league this long for some reason. It’ll be that same reason he’s on a roster next season.

He stuck around until he said what he said. Now we will see if he does after....

 

[Sheldon Shape]

There was no reason not to bring back Moses.

He is a solid project with elite center size/length.

The only reason was because he played defense and didn't stretch the floor. Olshey's instinct to sign him was right. Too bad Stotts did nothing with him.

@SlyPokerDog would be happy about that I'd bet. Traffic here would increase by quite a bit.

Meyers should just go full heel. Right wing media would embrace him and he could start his grifting gig.
