Event Pay out Meyers Leonard's contract

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Not to kill him, just tonya harding him.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

This is fucking embarassing. Bad Basketball Karma.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Plus, its not like Meyers is an alcoholic dickhead. He shouldn't get booed because he needs more court time and development. Just fucking sad to have dickweed Blazers fans like this. Same with the ones that boo him at the games and chant trade meyers.

 

[e_blazer]

Be cheaper to pay maint guys at the Rose Garden to rig a light fixture to fall on his favorite 3 pt spot at a bad time (for him)

Oh sure. Like I haven't seen too many Roadrunner episodes to know that's not going to work.

No doubt. Meyers is a good dude and nothing would make me happier than to see him do the work he talked about in his exit interview and achieve success next year.

So you think he can be fixed with more playing time and development? How many more developing years does he need?

Another year of his working on this drivel.

I don't think he could get worse.

Yes, with a better system and a longer leash he will probably improve a bit. Not saying he will be awesome but he could be serviceable at some point.

It seemed last summer he worked on conditioning and not basketball. Just a weird way to train.

Care to expand on that, oh Mediocre one?

 

[e_blazer]

Last summer wasn't a usual one due to his shoulder surgery. He wasn't cleared to use his shoulder until about October.

What makes you think that? He got worse this year. He has shown nothing to make anyone think he can be even a servicable NBA player

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Oh must have been the year before. He would post on IG his workouts and I was like "damn bro play some hoops"

It's mental awareness and confidence. That can be fixed.

Besides, we are not gonna be able to trade him without losing assets or getting a dinosaur back. Not gonna shit on him if there's not much we can do.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Care to expand on that, oh Mediocre one?

Every fucking year we get to hear the great white hype tell us all how hard he's gonna work, after yet ANOTHER disappointing season.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me every fucking year, I'm a dumbass

Portland should be willing to move him at all costs

What's the solution?

I would have traded him for Tyson Chandler if it was availble

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Meh, not a fan of the "dump them to dump them". Only look at what's the best solution. Rather have him sitting in the bench as a cheerleader than take back a worse contract or give up players or picks to move him, which it will take

Gotta move on

At this point it may be addition by subtraction.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

He's not a toxic player so it really isn't.

 

[e_blazer]

Just to be clear, I said I'd be happy for him to achieve some success, not that I'm counting on it. I'd just as soon he get a new team to try to improve his game at.

Every fucking year we get to hear the great white hype tell us all how hard he's gonna work, after yet ANOTHER disappointing season.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me every fucking year, I'm a dumbass

He literally adds nothing

 

[Orion Bailey]

AAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That's all I have to say about those fools who donated....Wait.

Fuck that.

I do I contact them? I have a Jersey to sell em!!!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

So you would trade valuable assets to get rid of him? I mean, that is what its going to take. Draft Picks, players on low contracts, etc.

We would get at least a 2nd round pick for him. If he passes a physical.

Potentially valuable assets and Meyers for a decent player on a shitty contract......probably.

Remember, the 11th pick in the 2012 draft was an asset at one time.

 

[WillG]

What is baffling though, if it is that evident to the players (the lack of dedication)- then why not to the TrailBlazers staff?

Why reward a guy with a $40 Million dollar contract if he is not committed and giving it his all?
Don't we have enough soft, low motor & nonchalant type characters playing for us already Neil?

Olshey rewarding players like Crabbe and Meyers last offseason really sets a bad precedent for our team - with regard to culture.
Come play in Portland and half-ass it - you'll be rewarded beyond your D-League dreams!

Not sure where you get that viewpoint from. This is a Meyers thread, not Crabbe.

Not once have I ever got the feeling that Meyers isn't giving his all. Just because someone sucks doesn't mean they aren't trying or giving their all.

Now if you wanna discuss Crabbe and some others half assing it, sure.... But not Meyers.
