Marcus Morris - 2019 Free Agent

[ceperez]

...skill wise the best free agent we could get for how our team currently is...the problem could be his character and at ude...and most of all how he will get along with players such DDR and with Pop. The big part of the risk is the fact that he's just one year rental...next year is PO...so if he doesn't buy in the system he could start to get mad...
One thing to say is that most of the problems, included the one reported above in Phoenix, took place when the twins were together...when separated, they behaved decently...and Marcus has already just been in a similar organization like Boston...doing extremely well.
That said, I'm sorry for Bertans that I liked a lot as a player but he was (sometimes inexplicably, sometimes understandably) in Pop's doghouse...I wish him well on Wizards where, given play time, he could become a real 3 point nuclear weapon, but DMC and Morris take us some needed defense and a good part of the 3 point shooting we missed trading Davis...
So maybe the move is risky (for the reasons above) and for sure non predictable, and in fact I said no to that in my post before the trade happened...but we did it... so i suppose PATFO has already checked and eveluate the guy and came out with positive results about his behavior and personality...

You got to ask why Bertans wasn't as effective as Forbes. To be fair, Spurs had the opportunity here to trade Bertans for Morris. So it might not really reflect on how effective Bertans was. We know though that he wasn't on the floor because he was man handled defensively. But going back to the comparison with Forbes, Forbes was also man handled defensively but it wasn't as bad a mismatch because Denver's guards are much smaller.

Forbes is a guy who's busted his ass to become at least compe ive on defense. Early in the season he struggled with his handles, then solved that problem. I'm really impressed by him -- he'll last in the league because of what he's done.

It's like some veteran posters on the board don't have a clue about what type of guys the Spurs bring in...

This is a new PATFO my brotha

I love to on PATFO as much as the next guy, when they do re ed . But this is not on them, tbh.

I'm not saying it's on them. I'm saying there was a reason they wouldn't go after guys like Morris with character issues. And this happened

Dude, you said the Spurs' wouldn't go after these type of players with characters issues and you were wrong because they did go after one of them. Too bad he ed them over.
