What could Meyers do...

[julius]

I just think someone who repeatedly posts pics of himself shirtless and flexing has some real insecurity issues which is amazing because he’s 26, millionaire, married to a beautiful wife, and a good looking dude. But his need for attention and approval is just weird. Just put your head down and get serious. Take your benching seriously and personally.

Agreed. I also think anyone who posts the shit he does (and said what he said at the start of the season), is in need of a lot of growing up/maturing still. It's a shame, because the guy is talented he's just such a mess.

He could do a great impression of Jon Koncak.

I ain't going to make fun of a guy who isn't even playing. Its like ganging up on the kid alone on the swing set at recess.

Only that he's a 7 foot tall grown man who's being paid millions.

Yeah... No... He's not...

He has tools but doesn't know how to use them.

Trade Pat

We're talking all this shit...Blazers are going to trade him and suddenly hes going to beast.

I’ll take my chances

Fine. I like Meyers. He's irritated the shit out of me for the longest time but that would be a win for everyone.

I'd tell him to go dunk on everyone and start playing him but they let him think he's larry bird for so long it's ridiculous.

 

[riverman]

The way I see it....as a Blazer he's gone from a rotation player rookie to being replaced by a skinny rookie in the rotation....if he can play in a place like Dallas...good for him....

Jermaine O'neal at least had stories about how he was killin' em' in practice. Butters? Not so much.

His stories are like Eric's. Hit three threes from the corner during practice or something.

Well, except Eric can't do a between the legs dunk followed by a cartwheel.

Yuge! The yugiest!

Well, so much for the theory that playing Meyers would hurt his trade value. After going 4-4 and scoring 8 points in 5 minutes, he raised his PER from 19.6 to 21.1!

Sell high Neil, sell high!!!

If we could get 19/9 out of Meyers in 36 minutes, start the guy!!

Too late, he played again

 

[Boob-No-More]

Damn! PER down to 19.9. We'll never be able to trade him now!

[riverman]

I always wondered who swish3 was in the real world....strangely hasn't posted since Meyers has been DNP status

 

[julius]

Not that that guy would have a vested interest in spinning his production.

either that or he knows how fragile Meyers ego is, and had to fluff him there.

Serious question. Would you trade for him and that contract? If so, for what?

 

[Boob-No-More]

How many teams are under the salary floor? One of those teams could trade for him and then use the stretch provision to spread out the rest of his contract.

CHI has a large enough trade exception to absorb his contract. If we traded Meyers + a protected future first to them for a future 2nd, they might bite.

No player is untradeable. While Meyers' contract is bad, there are far worse contracts, some that have been traded recently.

So trade Meyers and a 1st for a 2nd?

 

[julius]

So trade Meyers and a 1st for a 2nd?

Yeah, that would be worse than keeping him.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Yeah, that would be worse than keeping him.

Agree

Depends on the tax situation. We have until the last day of the season to get under the tax threshold. I think Neil will do something before the trade deadline to get us under the threshold. Moving Meyers contract is one option.

I said a protected 1st round pick. It can be heavily protected, something like top 25 protected in 2018 and 2019 converting to a 2nd round pick in 2020 - maybe giving the Bulls the option to swap second rounders in 2020. We'd basically be offering them a small incentive for taking Meyers' contract off our hands.
