No question.If the choice is Favs at the full MLE or Meyers at the minimum and we retain JC and use our MLE for something else then I’d probably take Meyers.
The shooting would help but those two are in different worlds defensively and if we run the same defensive stuff we are now then the center has to be pretty damned good on defense.
But maybe in that situation, we actually have to run some different defensive schemes, and I think that would actually make us a better team overall.
I feel like Leonard's value is probably more around the BAE-amount. Which, I don't know, probably still sounds better to me than Favors at the MLE (I'm probably undervaluing Favors, I am just sick of overpaying for his total contribution [he couldn't play big minutes even if we/he wanted/needed him to which puts a hard ceiling on his contribution] and pulling **** to make it work).
