Is his neck no longer an issue?
MARKIEFF MORRIS
PF, OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
Markieff Morris (neck) has agreed to sign with the Thunder, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Morris was waived by New Orleans after the trade deadline, and multiple contenders pursued him including the Rockets, Nets and Raptors. This is a solid landing spot in reality since OKC isn't the deepest team, but there are multiple obstacles to fantasy value. Jerami Grant and Steven Adams are entrenched as starters, Nerlens Noel has earned the backup C job, and it's still unclear when Morris will be able to return from his serious neck injury. If you're in a deep league, though, he has just enough potential to be worth a stash.
Spurs are in the semi-tank mode.
A serious question... what's left out there? Basically what we die with now is what we're rolling with!?!
Ellenson or Mcclemore?
Nice, glad Morris didn't go to LA or Houston.
He might not play again this season, I'm really hoping he dont end up like Emeka Okafor.
I thought some doctor in LA cleared him?
Nothing will happen in the NBA Buyout Market. Pop and RC will be down in Pop's wine cellar getting drunk on Pop's best vino. They'll be patting each other on the ass cheering the fact that they will have Gasol on the cheap next season. They'll be bragging to each other how smart they were for signing Gasol to such a fantastic deal. tic.
Rudy Gay>>>>>>>>> Morris.
Would think Point is the spot?
I imagine it's more like, "We didn't get Chris Paul, but we got the next best thing."
Gotta love spurs no longer being a buyout destination
buyout market? nah, spurs are gonna sign jamaal tinsley.
I feel like Pops goal before he retires is to floor a lineup full of point guards
No PGs so far
Teodosic.
Not sure how he fits on the current roster. Always a fan of him.
Spurs don't need PG depth.
That much is obvious. I mean, they're 14th (tied for 14-15) in the league in AST per game, and that's pretty good. And their starting PG is 11th on the team in AST/36, so there's only 10 guys on the roster dishing out dimes at a faster clip. Not much room for improvement there.
Wait... this is weird. In 2014, the Spurs were #1 in the league in AST/game. Didn't they win a championship that year? The next season they won 55 games and they were 5th in AST/game. The next they won 67 games, they were 3rd in AST/game, but got their asses kicked by Ibaka, Adams, and Kanter.
In today's NBA, there's no need for PG's or C's. Just 2's, 3's, and 4's. So this roster is perfectly constructed. But from up here on Olympus, it looks like you either have to have an iso-heavy superstar, or a legit PG to distribute. GSW, Denver, Milwaukee, and Philly are all in the top 7 in AST/game. TOR, OKC, and HOU are 15th, 21st, and 28th, respectively in AST/game. See a pattern there? We'll see how they all hold up come playoff time. But with no PG, no legit C, and no superstar that can carry the offense single-handedly, I can tell you how the Spurs are going to fare.
In fairness, Derek White has done a creditable job of distributing, and taking care of the ball. He's not a PG, but he's the closest thing the Spurs have, even if he is a SG.
Sorry, Ace. You usually have some of the best takes. But the Spurs need an actual PG before they can even talk about PG depth.
Actually the league needs fast guards with size who can shoot. With defensive rules, getting into the lane means open shots.
I have no idea what those two were thinking signing Pau to that contract at his age.
I get the appeal but he plays mediocre to no defense
