Meyers Leonard...Highest Paid Blazer Big Ever?

[blue9]

You know who else was awful at D? Zach Randolph. But he eventually played on one of the top defensive teams in the league.

Meyers is not "awful" at defense - he's simply limited. He does some things very well, and there are other areas where he could improve to above average. But he's never going to be able to guard PFs or perimeter players. To say he's awful because of these limitations is dumb. What's awful is having a coach putting him in those defensive situations - a hammer is an awful tool to use on screws, but a great tool to use on nails.

I don't recall that. I'd also like to know who these posters are - there are very few that I'd be inclined to believe.

Come to the meet and greets next time

I agree completely that he is a tool

The official figures were never released from our extension offer last year. Multiple posters on here have heard thats the figure that was offered to him. We even talked about it some at the meet and greets. Join us next time

Here is a mention

Type meyers leonard 4 years 60 million into google and youll get hits talking about it. Where were you when this was discussed?

I remember that rumor, and I don't believe it at all.

I hope he gets that much money so he can afford to take some basketball lessons.

Him and Thon Maker can be classmates!

They're the same age, so why not, right?
