How The Spurs Signed Marcus Morris And How He'll Fit

[Hoops Czar]

Do you get paid to post like that?

Nah, If I were gonna post , I'd use my ChumpDumper troll account.

Big big fan of this signing! Will be interesting to see who starts I think it’ll probably be dejounte/DeMar/carrol/Morris/LA
With Dwhite/Forbes/Lonnie/Gay/Jakob off the bench (belinelli getting spot minutes whenever Forbes or Lonnie suck) that just leaves patty and the rookies lol

[Hoops Czar]

He's a good example of a guy who has continued to improve. At the beginning of their careers, everyone said Keef was much better. Not so much now.

He's a good 3P shooter, not a specialist/sharpshooter, but more than enough to force defenses to honor it. He's a solid defender, night in and night out - again, maybe not a specialist, but solid. A lot of his career he's split time between SF and PF. In the last few years he was a full time SF in Detroit, and a full time PF in Boston. He's played some small ball C. And he definitely brings toughness that the Spurs seem to be chronically short of. He can create his own shot - less than half his FGA's are assisted. He's not foul prone or a turnover machine.

I know people love to , but damn. For the MLE, in this market, he's a of an addition.

He's not a solid defender. He's downright awful.

I'm not going to argue with you. Nate McMillan says "Hi".

I'm not hating either, tbh, just not sure I would go with 'exciting' either

Meh, if you're a Walmart shopper, you get excited about the little things. It's like getting excited about the Mi Box 4 because it's an Google certified android TV box. It does nothing that Nvidia Sheild does but it's a bottom of the barrel subs ute and it's cheap.

Nat McMillan must be using the blindfold test. He's 412th in DRPM with a -1.17.

Thibbs once said Belinelli was underrated defender and two days later, RC signed him off the scrap heap.

That doesn't make any sense.

As usual.

Did not see a game console analogy coming. I really don't have a response to that.

The fact is, the Spurs only had the MLE to spend. You can't combine the MLE with anything to sign a more expensive player. Yes... he's was cheap, compared to someone like Paul George. I thought we all understood that whoever they got would have to be cheap. If you were expecting a Top Tier player on the Spurs' budget, then I understand your disappointment.

I don't think he's bottom of the barrel. I don't think he really moves the needle much though.

Nope. But he's another incremental improvement. That's what the MLE brings. This team was a defensive show last season, and they'll be considerably better now.

I'm sure he's happy. He would have signed for the league minimum for the Lakers.

DeMarcus Cousins is not a top tier player. I also would have taken Danny Green back for the MLE. Don't the Spurs have the room exception that they could have blown on Morris?

Kawhi wasn't walking through that door

[Hoops Czar]

Sadly, he's not even an upgrade over Bertans.

[Joseph Kony]

does anyone have tier takes than Hoops Czar?

Lonnie has a long way to go. Based on his SL, he needs a lot of work on his handles and his BBIQ.

Sorry, I didn't mean to on your parade

Did you see what Green actually signed for?

Post it here, please.

I just find it weird that if you're a Cavs fan what is your obsession with the Spurs?

Its a troll posing as one. Likely an alt account by one of the idiots here

Ok that makes more sense I've been confused by this for a while.

Alt accounts everywhere. Glad there is more moderation on the site, hopefully some of these dumbass teenagers start getting weeded out.

Can be funny in spurts but they just clutter every thread with takes and memes.

2 years /30M however, the Spurs could have given him a third year and he'd make a lot more playing for the Spurs with no State taxes but I digress.

But I do agree that He wasn't coming back though.

so it wasn't possible and wasn't going to happen

Oh, I know. But that's a potential move to get excited about.
