It might be a trade and they cut him deal. Hard to see paying $10MM to a fringe role guy who has never gotten beyond that. Wished he could have done better. He was quite a talent.

One more chance, maybe...
Free-agent center Meyers Leonard will work out for the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, league sources told The Athletic on Thursday. Here’s what you need to know:
Leonard last played in January 2021, at which point he had season-ending shoulder and ankle surgeries. He has been sidelined for almost two years and recently was fully cleared to work out for NBA teams.
Leonard was suspended for one week and fined $50,000 in March 2021 after using an anti-Semitic slur on a live stream. He later apologized and has spent time with Jewish leaders and immersed himself in the Jewish community over the last couple of years, which the league has been aware of.
At 7-foot-1, Leonard has shot 42.9 percent from 3-point range over his four last seasons, and has averaged 5.6 points and 3.9 rebounds a game over seven seasons.
The Lakers have searched for potential shooting and size, with Leonard and DeMarcus Cousins set for free-agent workouts Friday.
