Trade deadline discussion

[NUMBERICA]

He makes $16+ and $17+ next year and year after. He's notorious for being volatile. He's always being moved and there has to be a reason.

I think he's a massive risk.

In this cap environment that's not a ton of money for a 3 and D dude with scoring chops, can play all front court positions, and doesn't really have holes in his game. We also desperately need the edge.

It also wasn't long ago that CP3 was known as this dude that destroyed his teams because he was demanding of his teammates, while in retrospect it looks like he was just playing with losers (LAC and Houston). If this team is that then there's no saving them.

I'll guess Marcus Morris is the mystery guy. Ainge signed him in Boston.
Josh Richardson makes a ton of sense for the Jazz. Perfect low-hanging-fruit trade.

I really like Richardson as well and I think he's probably the most realistic of any of the names we've heard so far, but I don't think he's enough to put us over the top. Hoping we can make a bigger move.

Some say volatile... some say competitive fire. He's been on three conference finals teams. Even if he has been moved a few times... he's mostly been on winning teams.

Would you rather have a prickly ******* who fights a little here and there or a guy who prefers to put up big numbers on mediocre/terrible teams.

Morri are fiercely loyal... they are guys you want on your side... even if they are a little unpredictable and a little dumb.

Morris is a drastic move... it may very well not work out... but we kinda need a drastic move.

Gonna echo a common sentiment and say that as long as Marcus Morris is cool/happy to be here then I would be thrilled to have him. There's enough stink about him in the locker room and about him not liking Utah that I would straight up meet with him and kill the possibility of a trade if he says no then and there. He has to be on-board.

If it's for Clarkson straight up and there's nothing better then that's a fine deal, but no sweeteners. Joe's deal would be a terrible idea financially.

If Ainge comes on board only to get all the guys I’ve been calling for the past couple years…

Why do Clippers want to trade Morris?

Why do Clippers want to trade Morris?

That's actually a good question. I couldn't tell you, he seems important for how they try to play. The short and simple answer would be getting off the deal financially and get an asset in the process.

I mean I guess I could be talked into Morris, but I'm kind of eh.

Can he start at 3? I thought he was more of a 4?

He would be an awful addition. Contract, would probably hate being here, etc.

Do you know how he performs in the post season? That is clearly the only thing that matters to you.

More of a 4 now, started his career as a 3. Was a big problem as a small-ball 5 last year against us, at least/especially when his shot started falling.
