has he ever had a boxing coach/trainer work with him? one of the things they work on is not flinching or turning away. too many images of Meyers with head tuned AND eyes closed trying to rebound and defend

I've been saying this for years.

I think Leonard should take up boxing in the off season. It's a good cardio workout, and it would get him used to contact.

Myers should do some boxing training over the off season to toughen him up.

I personally can't wait for Meyers to make 85% of this forum eat crow. I still think it will happen, and I still hate the Beibs/Butters nicknames.

Come on, no way he can do that now. Too late. It's been 5 years, if he improves this upcoming season then he is just doing what he should of been doing from the start with that contract. He owes the organization I would say, lucky our GM loves his picks or his ass might not be in the league

I just don't know what the plan is for our bigs, we have a log jam there. Who gets minutes? Aminu will play PF. Then you gotta get minutes for Swanigan and Collins just to improve. Vonleh. Meyers. Ed Davis. Are we really going into the season with that many bigs? I mean you gotta get certain guys minutes to showcase for a trade even

I'd like to see Aminu more at SF. Everything is a PnR anyhow so he gets switched off onto a guard anyhow. I'd like to see a bigger lineup that can defend versus 'smalls' out there so often. If that means Turner more at SG backing up CJ with CJ playing PG with Dame in a 3-man rotation, I'm good with that.The whole Crabbe/Turner/Aminu/Harkless thing needs to be thinned out anyhow.

No one here will be eating crow if L FINALLY becomes even close to an average NBA player, at this point

It's not gonna happen. I was a huge Meyers supporter all the way up to a year ago. I even told @Eastoff it was a good idea to buy a Leonard jersey a few years ago because I was sure he would break out.

He won't. He is the worst player in the NBA. And it has nothing to do with his skills, athleticism, or whatever. It all has to do with his mind.

Well I assume if he plays well enough some will admit they were wrong and give him some respect.

Thats exactly what i think we will see. Aminu at the 3 behind Hark with CJ and Turner sharing mins between the 2 and backup point. Crabbe with mins behind them with some at the 3. Vonleh and Swanigan at the 4. Nurk, Davis, and Collins at the 5. Though im sure we will see some collins and maybe even some Davis at the 4. Vonleh will start the season at PF replaced eventually by Swanigan.

Doubtful. But, if somehow he has a breakout season and beasts it, I will personally post a thread apoligzing to him

Mr. Prunetang, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

It would be great if that happened.

Definitely. I didn't turn on Meyers until this last season. And yes, I turned pretty hard. But, if Meyers magically turns it around, I'll be the first to apologize.

I never said I wasn't a terrible human being.

If Meyers sees the court while less than 2 of Nurk, Ed, Zach, Biggie and Vonleh are injured I'm gonna flip out

I'd definitely expect Ed to get some burn while Zach and Biggie are slowly brought into the rotation during the regular season. That'll also give Ed a chance to raise the stock on his expiring contract. Win-Win, baby!
