Portland Trail Blazers guards Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum are giving their old teammate, Meyers Leonard, a hard time about his early-morning workouts with Jimmy Butler.
Butler got in an early-morning training session on the first day of Miami Heat training camp at 3:30 a.m. Leonard is now joining Butler in the early sessions and took to Twitter to let Heat Nation know about it.
That's when Lillard and McCollum decided to have some fun with Leonard:
Y’all better get some sleep lol …. unless y’all out by 8pm https://t.co/qQARoM1lFh

Meyers Leonard will always be loved by the Blazers organization. He had a close relationship with seemingly everyone in Portland.
The Blazers traded the big man to the Heat this summer for Hassan Whiteside. Leonard finished his Portland career with averages of 5.6 points and 3.7 rebounds in 393 games.
Jimmy Butler has a world-class work ethic. It's why he fits the culture of the Heat franchise. Leonard is looking forward to starting this next chapter of his career in South Beach, while Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum are enjoying the view from Portland and teasing their old friend.
Leonard should get a nice ovation from Blazers fans when the Heat come to Portland this season. Lillard and McCollum will be happy to see their pal, but will also be eager to beat him.
