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.

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.
