Meyers Leonard in Miami --- 7'1", 260lbs, 43% from 3, 6 points, 5 rebounds, .3 blocks in 20 minutes. 11 million on the last year of his deal.
There's no way Miami cuts this guy loose.
The Athletic had a piece yesterday where they do a deep dive on things the Miami front office should consider doing before the TDL. Anything involving significant salary meant sending out either Leonard or Olynyk. I think the path to Leonard is being the third team in a deal Miami is doing with someone else. He fits in our TPE, so the third team doesn't have to take all of the salary Miami is forced to send out (recall, Miami is hard capped and can't do a trade that takes in more salary than they send out).
