Y'all know he's not really that good, right? Portland fans will tell you he's very limited and often played soft. Who's minutes would want him taking?

Melli will be in that role and will have more of an impact. And Okafor and Hayes will also get mintues at C.

Myers Leonard is good in a limited role. He is a backup stretch C, nothing more. Currently he's Miami's 3rd string C (behind Bam Adebayo and Olynyk); the Pels could use his skillset. He's a legit 7-footer, with a 7-3 wingspan. The Pels don't currently have a stretch C on the roster.

Melli is 6'9, I think he's a PF, not a C. If Leonard was on the Pels, him and Okafor would battle for minutes.

I don't think Miami values him much, he should be easy to aquire. That's why I suggested Leonard for Moore. Miami might view Moore as a smaller expiring to ease salary cap concerns.
