Myers Leonard, a 7-foot stretch C 


nice dream



He's exactly what the team needs. The team could use a perimeter threat from the C position. He's on an expiring. Hayes wouldn't be rushed into action.


hes really good.

I have no expertise in the money or trade rules as you say "on an expiring". I take it to mean he's going to be an unrestricted free agent soon so his trade value is just whats left of season.
God bless the nba players union.

I just go by "do i want the guy".
I think hes got a future.

Whiteside for Leonard & Harkless

I don't think the length of Leonard's contact should be of concern. It shouldn't be too difficult to extend him, if he performs well this season. He should be looking for a long-term commitment. Portland viewed him as a movable expiring contract. They took on Whiteside's attitude and contract for Harkless/ Leonard expirings. Miami has Olynyk, they don't need Leonard.
