What do you guys think about signing Meyers Leonard?  Ideally I'd prefer a trade for Noel or even signing Festus Ezeli but Portland is  throwing around a lot of money this free agency.  I don't think they will be able to afford to keep him if he gets a good offer.   He showed promise coming out of college but I haven't watched portland play much so I really can't comment on how he has developed.

I've always been kind of interested in him too, but sometimes after watching him play I think that Meyers Leonard in the abstract is better than the real Meyers Leonard. What jumps out last season to me is that low FG% (45) and BLKPG (.3), neither great for a 4/5. Still, if the contract is dirt cheap, why not? There may still be upside. Career FT% (81.4) is terrific. His floor is probably Zeller but his ceiling may not be much higher. Getting more time for Mickey and/or signing Ezeli seem better ways to go.
