    Meyers having a personal clothing line is just so Meyers.

    I'm not even a Meyers hater (more of a Meyers agnostic), but seriously who is his target market? I can't see anyone paying a premium price for Meyers Leonard branded apparel. It just feels like he's finally admitted the basketball thing was just a side gig and his true calling is, and has always been, male model.

    I didn't intend for that to sound mean, but it still does. I actually hope he can make some positive contributions this year - build on his MINOR success from last year. Anything we get out of him will be an unexpected bonus. A (relativity) successful campaign also increases his trade value from negative to neutral as an expiring contact going into next summer.

    That sounded mean, too. Oh well, to be fair and balanced: he has nice hair and an attractive wife.

    Not true at all. His per was essentially 16 and 10 last year. Way better. the year before he was injured and the two year before that he was sitting around 14 and 9-10. Last year he played well for the minutes he played. Some just don't want to see it or admit it. And then there are those that will say "But for 10 million".... Well try to get yourself another 7 footer for much less. Bash him all you want but at least be truthful.

    Just his spiel, his bro personality. It makes me cringe.

    This year in going to be positive about his play. I get what he has to offer...at least in theory.

    I actually really appreciated Meyers' media day appearance. Seemed very business-like. Focused. No nonsense. "I want to earn the coaching staff's trust by displaying consistency, being aggressive, and doing what I can to help the team win." That's all I want from him too.

    I just want Meyers to play well enough for ONE team to think he's good and want him in a trade. Is that too much to ask?

    You'll never know until you try it. The real question is, after getting kicked in the genitals six times are you willing to try a seventh time in the hope that it will finally stop hurting?

    Not at all, not as long as Vlade Divac is a GM.

    No, and I think he will achieve that this season, but the problem is that high school teams can't make trades.

    The sad part is I could totally see Meyers dominating a bunch of high school kids and really being proud of himself about it.

    WTF Harkless? He's still not cleared for 5 on 5? This could be bad, his injury shouldn't have lasted this long.

    No. You're right. I will be truthful. I want him to do well too. So we can trade his ass.
