The Leon thing is a stupid argument, he had one more year left, and he wasn't going to make us finish higher than we did in 2012.
My point was, he was still a quality player coming off an exceptional AA year. He could have easily played out 2 years and he would still have been our best small defender or small forward.
You don't discard players who make your side better (unless it becomes untenable) and Leon would have made our side better, irrespective of ladder position.
