RIP. The Blazers did him dirty regarding Aldridge.

Olshey sacrificed him to keep his job after botching the LA situation so badly.

Dang man. RIP to coach

Maybe Leonard and him kept in touch?

Edit: Just saw Meyers’ post. Condolences to him, and obviously the Hughes family as well. I had no idea that Hughes had such an impact on Meyers. Knowing Meyers’ back Story and how he viewed Hughes like a father figure makes my heart go out to him.
