    I love TRob's hustle....but hustle alone isn't that hard to replace.

    As for Leonard, at his current rate of progress he will soon be showing up for games with his shorts on backwards and his shoes on the wrong feet. Compared to this dork, Darius Miles was a paragon of sound basketball fundamentals. Hell's bells - I don't even see the raw athletic ability he is alleged to have. His mobility/lateral quickness seem average at best. Standing around looking tall doesn't make him a basketball player.

    Leonard's last game he had 8 points and 4 rebounds in 14 minutes on 4-5 shooting, and was +10 in a loss. He also had a nice lob dunk where he skied for the ball. Non-athletic players can't do that.

    You can slam the guy all you want, but your opinion should be held accountable by actual stats and performance. Bash away...

    Stats dont tell the whole story when it comes to basketball, they are an ancillary piece of it. The guy just looks like the farthest thing from an NBA player

    7 feet tall and athletic, looks like an NBA player to me.

    This. If there was ever a guy to waste a roster spot on for a few years, Meyers is it.

    Thought the years staying patient and the Blazers don't mix well together. Take a look at history.

    Agreed. One of the reasons San Antonio is so successful is because they stick with people.
