@ DR - presumably even with Lisch back Randle is going to be the primary ballhandler, and that in itself is an improvement as far as utilizing a guy's talents go.

But hey, this is the Kings we are talking about, so we'll see.

@Steve - to be fair, his agent has probably been working hard the last couple of weeks to find him an alternate gig with the writing on the wall...

Glad to hear he's gotten another gig so quickly, he seemed like a good dude, just shouldn't have been signed, which isn't on him...

Thornton/Perry/Bryson were all guys who needed to have the ball in their hands coming off picks looking to penetrate to be successful, and the Kings were instead using them off the ball as spot up shooters, which was not their game at all. Not saying any 3 of them were good signings, but at the same time reflective of the kind of front office decisions that linger on today.

Leslie just signed with Levallois Metropolitans in France. Top agent he's got, hardly a pause in getting another gig.

Did he play less games than the import from last season, what was his name Michael Bryson?

I hope history doesn't put him in that same basket.

Really sad when you consider their import guard (dreadlocked Celtic 2nd rounder) got a full season and way more minutes than he deserved and Travis only plays a month.

Good luck to him and i hope we see him again in the NBL as he is a quality player

Yeah, his body language was never that great but took a huge nosedive, most likely injury related and maybe a bit of seeing the writing on the wall...

As has been said above, not a bad player and under other circumstances would be very good numbers wise, but just wasn't the right fit from the start and unfortunately needed to be the one that was cut...

That explains his ineffectiveness I suppose but his body language never looked great either.

Possibly ankle tendinitis or bursitis. Can't recall if the initial injury occurred during a game or practice but it certainly had a noticeable impact. His athleticism is a big part of his game and without it, he was sadly ineffective.

He masked it well, but the way he shuffled his feet (no pun intended) late in games and settling for a lot of jumpers gave it away IMHO. With the heavy losses and baying of blood, they couldn't afford to have him at less than 100%.

The baffling thing was that Gaze spent the NBA SL with Indiana where Leslie was so obviously got a good look at him up close but still ended up not seeming to use him right.

I hope they pay him out! And do the same to Garlepp so he remove himself from the pure disrespect Gaze has shown him!
