    I would trade him for a jar of pickles. And that would be the steal of the year. Over the Nurk trade

    No idea, I don't actually like pickles.










    But I would still make that trade

    I get the OP's point....to a point.

    Leonard hasn't really had a big show him what can be done. Sure he had Kaman who could educate him on positioning and such, but Kaman was older and word down. Slow. Nurk is super quick. Leonard could absolutely gain from watching Nurks footwork, spinning and just how he uses his body down in the paint.

    What the OP is missing is its in the head. Meyers is a computer. He lacks instincts. He has to process and come up with what he thinks is the best percentage play to make and it takes too much time.
    Until he stops thinking and just goes, he will not improv on anything. Unfortunately he has had almost 5 years to figure this out, and I dont think you can flip the switch on how you process information like that. In this environment, I think we are very much what we are from the outset and there is little that can be done to change how someone process information and then makes a decision. Its easy to improve footspeed, but how do you speed up mental processing?

    The idea in the OP that calling Meyer's MyLe would be some kind of positive nickname made me LOL. People here have been calling him that for years. And not in a good way. Honestly, now I know you're trolling.

    I have always wished Stotts would use Meyers more like he uses Nurkic. If Meyer's is indeed playing with sore discs and a pinched nerve, I don't see it happening much now.

    I think some of them carry the Bubbies brand. I get mine at Natural Grocers on 82nd Ave near Winco.

    Their sauerkraut also goes well with a bratwurst.

    I agree. My great grandfather and great uncle made their own from an old German family recipe.
