    I'd rather have the 8th seed than finish 9th.

    OTOH, I would also rather finish 15th than 9th.

    Now he wants a trade. I would pass, but he would be cheap.

    I would trade for him, fits our plan exactly. Young, would come for less than he's worth, a very good player.

    Also, the Morris twins need to be seperated, it''s impossible to tell them apart and they have 90% the same name

    My biggest gripe is that I don't like power forwards who can't rebound. Also I have never liked his attitude. I like toughness (Brian Grant), but Morris' version is different.

    Hes an asset. If his contract is tradable, why not?

    That team wasn't really a thug team. Steve Smith, Schremp, Sabonis, Grant not thugs. It was when we got Patterson and Woods and Randolph that we became thug team.

    We got the middle one. And can someone explain to me why he is always listed at 6'10" or 6'11" when he measured 6'11.25" barefoot at the draft combine?

    At the cost of Vonleh, who has the potential to be better than LaMarcus? That's a tough one to swallow, especially when the team isn't expected to compete for anything this year.

    No I wouldn't do the trade and lose promising young player in von. Morris is not bad player but he not what I would be looking for a pf.

    IDK, seems like a malcontent. We have a lot of project bigs. I prefer Vonleh.

    Shieeet, you're right! Damon,Bonzi and Sheed were the only problem makers on that team.

    I think trading Vonleh would b a HUGE mistake. I like Meyers & believe he'll become quite decent but if we've got a shot (which I believe we DEFINITELY do...) @ Morris, we take it & maybe do a 3-team trade using Meyers & Kaman that gets us Morris PLUS some1 else we need:smiley-yup: It's true he's a crappy rebounder for his position/size but let Vonleh & the rest of the gang get the boards then. Morris does have game & he'll still improve, he plays the 4 & the 5, he's young, & he fits Neil's current direction. I don't think he'll b a cancer w/ us AND I want T-Rob (a know very close Morris' friend; T-Rob probably isn't all that fond of us any more though & bc of this, Morris may not want to come here:unsure:) back! Anyway, we should @ least try to get Morris:smiley-yes: The worst that can happen w/ trying a trade for him is they say no.

    Trading Meyers AND Kaman for Morris? WTF!?! Both of them are better than Morris NOW, and Meyers in only going to get better.

    Trading Meyers OR Vonleh for Morris might be enough to make me lose interest for a year. You don't trade promise for mediocrity. If the goal is late lottery/first round exits then get tweener Morris.

    And, how long before he starts whining about forcing us to sign his tweener brother. I mean you can never have too many 3/4 tweeners who can't rebound, right?
