    That's what my eyes are telling me also. I watch Leonard a lot and he seems to make a lot of bad decisions on defense and on offense doesn't usually do anything creative or assertive. But I noticed it was mentioned that he was the only one with a positive +/- last night so I looked up his +/- for the season and saw that he had the best on the team for regulars (Vonleh the worst by far); so I don't really know what to think about him.

    Unfortunately he doesn't even do that half the time. Everytime he misses a three-pointer I cringe. Not just because he missed, but because I know he's going to pass up his next two wide-open opportunities.

    I disagree.
    If we know that Brian Scalabrine is the greatest player of all times and we also know that Meyers Leonard is a better shooter then him then how can Meyers be garbage?

    He opens up the floor a ton with his "one trick", making it easier for everyone else. When he's out of the game the offense gets super bogged down. But people seem to ignore that and instead bash him for "looking soft" or his hair. It's actually kind of trollish.

    Have you watched him play defense?

    You're right, no one has.

    That's a troll post. He's not that much of a liability if his +/- is consistently one of the best on the team

    This place cracks me up. Everyone says we need to tank for another good player to pair with dame. CJ has a break out year and shows massive potential to be a star and everyone wants to trade him cause we already have dame.

    I think most are off the CJ trading bandwagon.... now it's right back on Meyers.

    Is meyers worth anything in trade? Isnt he a free agent and low salary? Not good for salary dumps and he can just walk on a team, so why would they toss us an asset?

    Who would you guys rather pay 8mil' per year: Markieff Morris or Leonard?

    And also: if we want to be Golden State so much than why not get a PF like Morris who can shoot-pass and matchup well with Green?

    Because people are hungry, and they think a bag of pretzels would be good right about now... and he may net us that.

    If that game proved anything it's that:

    a) we aren't ready up front
    b) we don't have spacing
    c) we always let the other team dictate the style we play

    All of those things were known going into the season and with c it's been that way ever since Stotts became head coach.

    Green has more assists last year and this year than Morris does in his career. Green also is a very good defender. Morris not so much.

    Did you mean to write "c) we ALWAYS let the other team dictate the style we play"? Serious question, because to me, that's what it seems like you meant.
