The Vanishing Meyers Leonard

[Strenuus]

They'd take LA for him, right? Or would we have to throw in some firsts, too? Wish we still had Barton for a package deal.

To think, at this time we could have gotten Gee in this deal too! For LA and some firsts? God, our organization is dumb.

The San Antonio brain trust has nothing on the Trail Blazers. Look at our history of searching for the Ultimate Center! I rest my case.

Trob reminded me of sport boat powered with a 302 chevy turning a 14x8 prop at 11000rpms. You can turn the wheel either way, no matter, that sucker is going to take torque curve route right into oblivion.

He reminded me of a flower cracking through the pavement and reaching for the sun. Huh.

Tupac or a tree Grows in Brooklyn, both are under control. No match with Trob.

Tupac was from oakland

Ok but the Tree grew through the concrete in Brooklyn. Tupac didn't write that one.

That brings to mind one Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who famously said "the best thing one can do when its raining is to let it rain"

Well sure. In Blazer4ever's world, that trade never happened, Barton got the starting nod after Matthews went down, T-Rob filled in ably during Aldridge's brief absence, and we're undefeated in March.

I would be pulling my hair out if I saw Barton get Afflalo minutes

You're honestly telling me you would rather have Leonard than T-Rob as our backup 4? Really?
T-Rob is a POWER Forward, he plays inside, he hustles, he is 10 times better defsnsively, a better rebounder, a smarter player (yes, don't know about their IQ tests but T-Rob is a much smarter basketball player). He could give us the one thing we're lacking which is points in the paint, whereas having Leonard on the floor gives us usualy our 4th 3-point shooter which is just stupid and means we play 4 on 5 on the defensive end.

I would rather have Leonard than T Rob and I was a Leonard naysayer too. Leonard showed great growth this season, something I didn't see with T Rob.

Meyers has shown marked improvement in literally every facet of the game. I don't know how that isn't obvious. He was drafted as a project and he's still a work in progress. At the moment I like our entire roster.
