Morrow is the guy the Blazers are after??? (Harris update)

It's no secret the Portland Trail Blazers have coveted New Jersey Nets point guard for the past two seasons, but the real key in reported trade talks between the two teams which would include trading Andre Miller for Harris, just might be New Jersey's starting shooting guard Anthony Morrow.

While Al Iannezzone of the Bergen Record writes Porltand is interested in Morrow, one league source who spoke with Beyond the Beat believes his value in discussions could ultimately make or break a possible trade between New Jersey and Portland.

"With Miller and Harris, you are swapping players with similiar playing styles. Of course there is a difference in their time in the league, but Portland kind of views Harris as a younger version of Miller - a guy who can set other guys up," the source explained.

"But with Morrow, that's the guy who has a better all around game than (Rudy) Fernandez and could really help their (Portland's) backcourt. He's (Morrow) actually the piece of those talks that might make that trade happen, or break it all off in the end."

According to the report, Rudy Fernandez has been discussed and the Nets have also talked about adding Joel Przybilla and his expiring contract, as Portland's front office continues to monitor both Harris and Morrow's recent play in New Jersey and on the road.

Morrow, the 6'5 guard out of Georgia Tech by way of the Golden State Warriors, is averaging 12.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 32 minutes per game (39 games, 30 starts), and is shooting .466 (180-386) from the field, .436 (71-163) from three and .903 (56-62) from the line.

This isn't the first time Portland has shown increased interest in Morrow.

Last July, reports surfaced that the Blazers had Morrow on their shortlist when it came to shooting guards and a possible shakeup in Portland's backcourt. Now, Portland and Morrow are picking up where they left off eight months ago

 

Like i posted last night, i like this deal

Miller/Pryz/Rudy + First round pick for Harris/Morrow

 

You know there is a thread on this already.

 

is this trade an upgrade?

morrow doesnt have the play making skills rudy does and miller has been our quiet mvp

 

that seems like we are giving up alot. Who is our backup center after that?

 

We have been playing "ok" with dante and LMA up front. Im sure Dante AND LMA can spell Camby

 

the fact the blazer scouts have been at the last 5 nets games tells me....

a deal is almost certain

 

speights? maybe marks

 

That's not true.

 

thats from the artIcle... not me

 

I like Marrow but I like Rudy more. Marrow just sits in a corner and takes threes can't really do anything else.

 

I know. I just quoted that from the OP. It couldn't be farther from the truth. There is no fucking way that Morrow could drop dimes or play the passing lanes like Rudy does. That one game against Indy when Rudy took over point and destroyed Collison should have showed all of us about Rudy's all around game. Morrow is the epitome of one dimension player.

 

Morrow is fucking horrible. All he can do is shoot 3's. The rest of his game is dreadful. He can't defend. His lateral movement is poor. He can't put the ball on the floor. You will cringe every time he passes. The only time you will be happy with Morrow, is when he is cranking an open 3.

 

nets beat writer says...

"blazers want nothing to do with outlaw"

roy must be an emotional mess. miller might be dealt, outlaw coming back.

 

Can you see where you went wrong?

 

How can it be wrong if it feels so right?

 

this pick up line doesn't work as often as you might suppose it would... just saving you the effort.

 

Maybe pryz for morrow and trade exception.

Harris deal dead
