”There’s Mutual Interest”: Meyers Leonard Opens Up on His Expectations as an Unrestricted Free Agent

As the offseason begins, Meyers Leonard has many unanswered questions ahead of him. As the Miami Heat center becomes an unrestricted free agent, he will look to join a team that suits him best.

Meyers was on the bench for most of the playoffs, and a more crucial role was given to Bam Adebayo. He took it very well and was a support system for the team from the bench.

In an interview, Leonard was asked about his plan of action entering the offseason as a free agent. “You know what, I do know and I do feel that I can help a team win, and that’s a contending team,” said Meyers. ” I’ve said this to people before, when you look at Meyers Leonard’s ESPN stats, for example, and you see six points, five rebounds. First of all, I don’t chase stats.”

Leonard explained what his priorities were as a player. “Could I shoot more? Sure. Do I sometimes get in trouble for not shooting more? Yes. Could I chase down more rebounds? Yes. Guess what? I don’t give a damn about numbers. I care about winning. They knew that in Miami,” asserted Leonard.

Are other teams interested in Meyers Leonard?

Leonard is aware of the slight changes he needs to make. He explained that he needed to be more advanced as a player and become more aggressive as he knows the kind of impact he can make. He said:

“So, you know what, I’m blessed. I’m thankful. This offseason is short, but I start Monday and I’m going to grind my tail off. I’ll be ready to go. The NBA is a business. I think there’s mutual interest between Miami and I, but we’ll see.”

Leonard clarified that he has other options, and he plans on picking the best one. He stated, “There are other teams that are very interested. I’m in a good spot. At the end of the day, I’m simply blessed and I’m very, very thankful for everything that’s been thrown my way.”

Wherever Meyers lands, that team will gain a hardworking and excellent teammate.
