    I'd rather give up Leonard.

    Since Ezeli is from Nigeria, should we all expect an email from him promising a deposit of part of his salary if we give him our account number?

    With the defense we'll get from Turner, Aminu and Ezeli I don't think Harkless is so much needed. In any case I think we choose between Crabbe and Harkless, Leonard is gone. I prefer Crabbe's shot and instant scoring to be honest, but of course none says that Harkless is a bad player. I just think he is not needed with the way our roster is built (if we get Ezeli at a normal price).



    I'm reading so many posts here saying that we shouldn't let anyone go because they are assets, but we also need to get new players. We cannot get players without letting anyone go. It's impossible. I wish we could keep them all, but right now we need rim protection more than Harkless.

    You're joking right? I think Meyers has talent and could be valuable but given the guys on the roster, I'd see Meyers walk instead of Mo or Crabbe at this point. I'd really like to trade him for Sullinger or Vucevic but Ezeli is a true rim protector..yeah, I'd make that choice.....other than that..I was actually just running with the theme. I'm not a Meyers hater, but in this circumstance....I'm not that attached to him and his cap hold

    Sounds like quick thinks meyers takes the 1 year qualifying offer. Which makes sense on him betting on himself again. So it would seem meyers would be back for sure

    It's a tradeable asset. If from Christmas to February he looks servicable some "contender" (let's be honest there is only one this season -_- ) may want him.

    I do not think he is going to get that big of contract. Who else has a need for a big and has money?

    To reinforce his ligaments. Not like it was a meniscus or microfracture.

    If we sign Ezeli he's our starter. Plumlee and Davis don't really work together. One of them has to go imo.
