I don't blame him. It's embarrassing that Blazers fans are booing him. People act like he held Paul Allen at gunpoint for that contract. If someone offers me 10 Million even though I'm not worth that contract, you know damn well that I'm signing it. He's not dogging it out there. He's not a bad person by any means. That's not somebody you boo. We're not Philadelphia. Portland is better than that. Or at least I thought we were. Boo the other team, not guys in the Blazers jerseys. If he beat his wife or something, I get it. For him not being as good as people hoped? That's dumb, and embarrassing as a fan
I think the booing has to do more with how he never seemed to put much of an effort into improving himself & playing softly than the money. If he went out there and at least gave a few hard fouls/ brought toughness I could live with him being massively overpaid.
Instead he spent his off seasons practicing shooting when he should've been working on his defense
yeah, it's not a very good look by the fans, but fans can't perform precision booing. When they boo Meyers it's for what he is as a player, what he's paid for being what he is, and it's also for the guy who gave him that idiotic contract.
there's some scapegoating for sure, but why did Meyers come into the game instead of Ed Davis? Why did Meyers come into the game instead of Collins. Why was Swanigan made inactive instead of Meyers?
all those questions may be indicating something, Perhaps Meyers is being played to try and elevate his trade value enough that Portland can find a taker for him and his contract. Think about that; so when he comes in and bombs away at air, fans are booing because they know they''ll keep seeing him
