Elle Leonard Discusses Move to Miami, Time with Blazers

With Meyers Leonard on his way to the Miami Heat, he and his wife Elle have had to make plans to move across the country. It also marked the end of an up-and-down relationship with the city and a significant portion of the fan base.

During any true growth, there are setbacks.

And for us, the 2016-2017 season was when everything fell apart.

Until recently, Meyers never spoke publicly about that year. Actually, he never told any friends or family about what he had gone through. But on a local Portland podcast, I heard Meyers finally admit that he had battled severe depression and anxiety.
