.It will be interesting to see if Miami can do something with Harkless or Leonard. Fro Harkless, maybe just being traded will wake him up. For Leonard, maybe new, less critical fans will do it.
I just checked HW stats: he is a rebounding machine and can score too. should easily average a double double and a couple of blocks a game. Forgive me if this a repost but its sweet to see his reaction: https://www.blazersedge.com/2019/7/...-hassan-whiteside-trade-reaction-excited-heat
I remember HW starting out at Sac Town for two years than leaving for two season over seas before heading to Miami. Im exciting to (if we don't trade him) to see how Skal adapts to playing a full season with us. The kid has talent. We may just have that other PF laying in the weeds? Technically you could have Collins, Whiteside & Skal in the front court together. I think Neil is looking at how to defend against the Lakers especially if they get Leonard.
Now we can finally recognize the brilliance of Neil Olshey! He made all those terrible deals in 2016 so we could get Bazemore and Whiteside. This was his plan all along!
He has won more games every year since the rebuild and got us to WCF and has us in contention going into the fifth year. Hows that match up with the Wolves, Sac Town, Knicks and other laggards that have reloaded several time over with limited results.
Oh yeah, that's right. His horrific free throw shooting was the main reason I wasn't sad the Blazers didn't get him last time.
Personally, I was hoping for a Meyers Leonard appreciation thread. Until I realized it would quickly turn into a Meyers Leonard depreciation thread. Good Luck Meyers. Nothing but the best.
Let's see, keep Meyers off the 3 point line and make the others shoot as far away as from the rim as possible or make them dribble. Game over.
