Why are spurs fans excited a bout signing mediocre Marcus Morris?

[hater]

He's barely above a Keith van horn scrub type

Wtf???

:lmao getting excited about this scrub

[slick'81]

Great question

[Dhbsr555]

You must be a lakers fan it’s ok keep hating .

[hater]

You must be a lakers fan it’s ok keep hating .

What has Marcus Morris ever done maniga?

[skin27]

:lmao

[Dhbsr555]

He’s a solid pick up. An upgrade from bertans. Averaged 14 points in 27 minutes ( which he probably will get) and a good defender against bigs. Which we can’t say about bertans.

[TimDunkem]

He's an upgrade which is the best you can hope for with this shit FO.

Instead, they should have signed Paul George with that massive $9M MLE. Stupid PATFO. Stupid fans. Stupid Marcus Morris.

[Pavlov]

After reading the OP I know it's a great signing.

[mookie2001]

Good offense, good defense and we need forwards. Very productive veteran.

[BD24]

After reading the OP I know it's a great signing.
tbh

[BatManu20]

Because he’s a solid pickup... Nobody’s saying we’re favorites to win it all now. Calm thy tits.

[Hyperhypo]

Cuz he's great for 9 mill - 11 mill

[Dhbsr555]

If he can give us 12-14 ppg as a starter that be big. Saying we have Rudy Gay walker Carroll and I believe Forbes coming off the bench

[Dennis the Menace]

Cunningham & Pondexter

or

Morris & Carroll


Yuuuuuge talent and flexibility upgrades

[hater]

:lmao calling it the best off-season in years

[RC_Drunkford]

Because he's easily the 4th best player on this entire team that's why. And he complements the other parts perfectly. For the salary we had available he was the best option out there

[ceperez]

Cuz he's great for 9 mill - 11 mill

Exactly! You get what you are paying for. Unfortunately many teams pay too much for not enough productivity.

[apalisoc_9]

The Kawhi stopper

[BOHOLANO#21]

I don’t know a lot of bastards here love posting anti-spurs/ spurs fans post here. Get some life idiots!

[TDMVPDPOY]

need a no tolerance enforcer on the team

[Rummpd]

I am agreeing with this over-hype to some extent based on PER alone - less than replacement level. https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/6462/marcus-morris More than an enforcer the Spurs needed talent! Time will tell if he is any good or not I suppose.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Who else do you see having that exceptional talent! that would have signed for the MLE?


Is this another DeMarcus Cousins thread?

[BD24]

:lmao calling it the best off-season in years
It’s definitely the best offseason since the LMA signing. Obviously the years after that were all pretty lackluster, so not a high bar. But saying it’s the best in years isn’t some huge statement

Kept the promising younger group intact. Got an intriguing development pf. Didn't screw up cap and contract situations. Traded a guy who had some promise but issues with his knees for a quality minutes eating back up sf. With mle got a guy in his prime who is a starting level combo forward that has a game which fits well with the roster on paper. Add in that for the last couple of years since he seperated from his twin Morris has appeared to have his head screwed on right and been developing his game.

Spurs fans feel like last years team did alright to be a good 7 seed considering that we had 2/3 guys out or hobbled all year that were projected to be key peices. Get them back and shore up our weak sf and pf rotation a bit. Watch the GS roster implode and suddenly we feel excited about the upcoming year.


I don't feel Iike its a game changer signing but I do feel like this team has a decent shot at getting hot in the playoffs and making a nice run. Also feel like at some point they are going to get curb stomped by a team with big names during the year and how they respond to that will determine the season's and teams outcome.

[weebo]

This team is looking pretty deep.

[JADG79]

Because:
- Marcus have the body to defend and play 3 to 5.
- Is a sign that nobody thought was possible after the news of Demarre and Cap Space.
- Increase line up flexibility.
- Proved player with playoff experience.
- Average 3pt shooter.

We know now Spurs are not going to play big and we are going to see a different Spurs this year.

[Gagnrath]

They are.... I am a little worried about scoring and figuring out a guard rotation that keeps people happy but should be decent. Please though pop unless there is a 25 point deficit one way or the other Mills, Forbes and Marco shall never share the floor. I can just see the bigs looking at each other and saying why should we go to the other end of the floor.

[TimmyBuckets]

Vintage OP

[Dex]

Spurs make no moves: "What the hell is PATFO doing!?"

Spurs make moves: "This is the best PATFO can do!?"

Pick a lane.

[look_at_g_shred]

Excited because we are finally adding some legit nba level talent vs the g-league fodder ceiling that Patfo loves to sign and rely on.

Go ahead and prove that statement wrong.

[Seventyniner]

:lmao calling it the best off-season in years

Beats the shit out of last summer tbh

[Marcus Bryant]

Best 3 through 15 team in the L!

[Atl Spur]

MM was ranked pretty high for available free agents this off season; he should be cool for us.

[TDomination]

We've been crying all year about getting a legit SF that has some size. We finally got it. A decent player at a good price. Also contract length is good.
With the players that were available, i think this is a darn good pick up.

[ducks]

If he can produce 14 points a game and play d he is underpaid in today’s nba

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Because he’s a solid pickup... Nobody’s saying we’re favorites to win it all now. Calm thy tits. Actually I have seen several people say we will win it all now.

[dubross]

Anyone know the hold up on why he is not officially signed?

[slick'81]

I mean lakers are excited about avery bradley:lobt:

[Spurtacular]

Above Van Horn? I'm not buying that. VH was a 18-20 ppg guy on a team that went to the finals.

[timtonymanu]

It’s hater though.we know his posting style already lol

[daslicer]

It's a good signing because last year's team outside of White had no defensive stoppers. You add him,Carroll,Murray to the mix and helps to strengthen the defense which was a huge problem last year. They were too many games last year where the Spurs had to be perfect on offense due to not being able to get defensive stops.

[TheDoctor]

:lol ST mindset, my friend.
:lol

[james evans]

Popovich is about to cut that in half:tongue

[Hyperhypo]

Value is value. Imagine this scenario: Danny Green comes back and signs a 4 year deal at 3 mill per year. Spurs fans would be excited.
Now imagine Green comes back and signs a 4 year max deal. We wouldn't have the same enthusiasm

[YGWHI]

We know now Spurs are not going to play big and we are going to see a different Spurs this year.
Exactly. With DJ being healthy and Morris on the team the defense will be way better.

Just imagine having Murray and Morris vs Denver in game 7..then tell me who would win that game.

[GreekSpursfan]

Even though i usually disagree with op i have to agree on this one.

[Collins21]

Exactly. With DJ being healthy and Morris on the team the defense will be way better.

It's really that simple. Hell there would be no game 7 if we had Morris or Murray because we would have swept them.

[Mr. Body]

It's really that simple. Hell there would be no game 7 if we had Morris or Murray because we would have swept them.

Imagine DeJounte guarding Murray. It's a different series there alone.

Exactly I'm not being a homer but the Spurs choked they should have swept that series.

[FkLA]

You do know White is a better defender, right? Murray struggled so much to get his shot off without the aid of multiple screens.

As if if him being left off the All-Defense teams wasn't bad enough you still get these type of comments from his own fan base smh.

[Legacy]

:lmao

Spurs needed one more defender and they would have won the series, whether at guard or PF.

[slick'81]

Spurs might be left holding the bag with still a massive hole at pf

[TimmyBuckets]

OP I take back my Vintage OP comment. I support this thread now.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

OP will be asking how the FO could lose such a valuable player in his next thread.

I love it.

[monty4329]

Van Horn would be perfect in today's NBA.

Morris is a great pick up.

[Hyperhypo]

Van Horn would be perfect in today's NBA.

Aren't we waiting for him to officially sign?

yes and he knows what both teams will offer.Should be a decision soon
