Should the Blazers extend Meyers Leonard contract for $3.1 million?

[magnifier661]

I haven't looked back through this thread but I am pretty sure I was one (of many) who said to not extend him. Very glad POR had their own ideas.

Anyone else want to fess up?

I said not to extend him, but said "I trust Olshey" when Olshey picked up his option

The day will come when everyone will know this was a silly question.
I wouldn't even think about it before I signed him.

Edit:
Meyers is early enough in his development and raw enough that we should be able to keep him on a relatively cheap contract, and he's close enough to putting it together that by mid-way through that contract he will be considered a bargain.

Great stuff on Meyers from Kaman

I saw Kaman say that during the game. I did a double-take, rewound, and watched it again to be sure. I LOL'd. Solid advice, too.

Interesting that he talks about Leonard "zoning out" for a second during games. Kinda makes me wonder if he's a little ADD.

Definitely no ADD. He is one of the more articulate interviews on the team. His "zoning out" is more likely lapses back to over thinking the game and those times are becoming fewer as games go by. As in most endeavors you can only reach peak performance when thinking ahead and anticipation become second nature.
