I like his length and shot 38% from 3pt land last season... Loving this off season...

I know I'm out of the loop but that seems like a lot of money for 15 minutes a game.

That's basically mid-level money now. I'd rather have Leuer at 10 million than Anderson at 20 (!). I think this is a pretty clear sign that the team won't be playing small with Morris at the 4 (unless Harris moves full time to the 3). Leuer is a decent bench guy, and the bench was a pretty big problem last year. I still think the team needs some better starters to really make noise in the playoffs, but we may have no choice but to get that from development (Johnson, KCP, Harris).

10 a year is average for a stretch 4/5 who can step out and hit a 3 at a decent % esp with this crazy high cap and all the high contracts flying around. And every year that he has gotten more opportunity, seems like he has made the most of it... shoot I say give him 20-25 minutes a night and see what he can do..... Kind of like we did with Morris.. None of his previous teams were giving him minutes we have and he has produced well.
