    Barton learned a lot on the court and as a professional.

    There are several one word answer to questions I can't hear.

    he wants to work on his play making skills

    he felt the times he got a chance to play in the playoffs he did produce.

    t rob and he went way back and played AAU and went to the same prep school

    now up, Meyers Leonard

    wants to do individual work outs, keep in shape and keep his cardio up.

    now the year he wanted to have, looking forward to this summer.

    a lot of training and hard work, in the gym a lot. get out and play against some competition. learn the game. practicing freethrows he knows he's althetic, but needs to learn how to use that

    he'll be back in portland for some indvidual training for a couple of weeks, and then summer league training and then expects summer league to be a good test. He'll likely stay in vegas to go to gurge (sp) camp. 60 or 70 guys

    3 work outs in the morning and then play at night. then stay in LA at the Clippers facility (wtf?) in the morning and play at night. He wants to learn to protect the rim and run the floor.

    go home for a short period, then back here for about a month of pre-training camp workouts.

    he has something to prove. he can practice his jump shots and dunk by himself, but a lot of the important things he needs to play against other guys. the playing aspect is the biggest part. (now describing his HS and College career, kind of making excuses?) I haven't really played competitive basketball that much... (doesn't sound good)

    he wants to get better and show everyone he can have an impact and get better.

    VG you need to take over, I have to go to a meeting for about an hour. I'll pick up on my return if it's still going (at this pace it should be).

    Earl sounds like he's setting it up to coach.

    Yet what he was saying was legitimate. The only way he will get better is with playing time. He has not played center that many years competitively.
    Can he get better? I have no clue. But there is no question he needs actual game time to improve.

    He is impressive to listen to. I doubt he will be back, but not a bad guy to have on the end of the bench. Love to see him as a coach with us.

    I love this. I think he has the handles and skills to pull this off as a backup. Hope he succeeds.

    Wes: confirms Meyers needs to just play more basketball. Somewhat throws the bench under the bus comparing them to the prepared Spurs bench. Not his intent, but he was correct.
