Hoopsworld on twitter: "Spurs watching Morrison, Ely and Al Harrington"

[coyotes_geek]

Morrison is basically just Matt Bonner, minus the defense and rebounding. His knee injury has left him without the mobility to create his own shot or to be able to even make a decent effort at defending someone.

[johnnySpurs]

Morrison intrigues me... the other two, not so much.

Yet half the Spurs fans on this message board seem to think that having someone to shoot threes is vital to their chances of winning a le, and most everyone seems to believe that Pop thinks so. The criteria so far seems to be that a guy has to be taller than 6'6" and be able to shoot threes. If you want a guy that can defend and rebound then I'd rather figure out a way to retain RJ and make Blair the small forward for other parts of the game.

Yep - a shorter, injured Matt Bonner without the sense of humor. The Hoopsworld writer is an idiot. If any of the Spurs staff goes to see Harry Potter, they're gonna write that the Spurs want to sign Dumbledore.

Iirc pop is a huge fan of Adam Morrison....

I disagree. Morrison blows as a player,but his comedy is effing hilarious. He does the funniest most random things on the bench and during practice. He is Hilarious. Kobe and Lakers always say he is funniest guy on team behind the scenes. I'd sign him for 1m just for comedic value,that goes a long way in locker room

In my opinion, a good idea. Unless Cuban just wants to sell some Shaq memorabilia... which is no small or inappropriate consideration.

[senorglory]

Will Morrison be the new Brent Barry?

[bishopospurs]

Pass on everyone but Morrison. Why not sign a guy that will be cheap and younger at least. He hasn't lived up to his hype, but if we get him for the minimum why not? Good enough for a camp invite. On top of that, he was publicly humiliated on Jimmy Kimmel. How much would he love to actually get meaningful minutes and stick it to the Lakers?

[vander]

Morrison F*** yeah!

imagine the meltdowns in the game threads when Morrison and Bonner are on the court at the same time

but seriously I'd like to have Morrison on the Spurs

[The Btown Spur]

Looks like Dallas misses out on another big:

If the Spurs were there to really scout someone, I'm guessing it was Harrington. I remember there at least being one report of them being interested at a trade deadline not too long ago and there may have been one or two other instances where they expressed interest.

Should be decent for Denver. They need front court help (and it's always nice to see Cubes strike out).

[EricB]

With that Kleiza is guaranteed to go to Toronto...

[Obstructed_View]

Wow that's expensive.

[tuncaboylu]

When did ST members see Morrison can shoot, i really can't understand.

He's a bad shooter in is entire career. He couldn't shoot better than %34 in his best.

He's not a good three pointer, he can't slow my grandmother on defense and he can't rebound.

Can anyone explain to me why we need him?

[Muser]

You guys are overrating his shooting, and he's horrible defensively.

[mountainballer]

Al Harrington to Denver looks good on paper and will be a disaster in realty. no way he and Carmelo fit alongside. Harrington will be on the trading block at deadline 2011.

[apalisoc_9]

Morrison?

The guy is a horrible defender. if we ever do get him, spurs fans are going to end up hating him the same way mason is/was hated.

He spreads the floor.

Morrison has worked out for several teams in Las Vegas this week, including Washington, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, San Antonio and the Los Angeles Clippers.

"It went really well," Morrison's agent, Mark Bartelstein, told ESPNLosAngeles.com of the workout. "A lot of teams are interested. I think we'll have something done shortly."

[Lebowski Brickowski]

I'd like Morrison as a bottom of the bench shooter, but not as a perimeter D specialist w/ a shot.

Unfortunately, there's not enough room for both types, and personally I'd rather have a streaker shooter who is a tenacious defender. If Pop signs Morrison (instead of Matt Barnes, for example) it's another sign that he still thinks the Spurs need to outscore teams instead of stop them.

[gospursgojas]

I remember when Adam Morrison was coming out of college, people were calling him the next larry bird...

sometimes i get the feeling like Cuban has RSS feeds that have NBA and Spurs in them; because everytime the Spurs are linked to a player the "rumors" end up being false yet the next day Mavs are always rumored to be interested instead.

Cuban: *looks at his RSS reader* ...Spurs interested in X? Someone get him on the phone now!
