Not sure, but isnt he unhappy hes also not starting? Hes not going to start with us either. I guess being the first big off the bench will help if hes willing and motivated to play that role.

But he really doesnt do much for us this season. We need guards.

I'm not saying we need M.Morris but we clearly need a big who can do all the things that KOQ and Seraphin can't do which is a lot. DW is still that same inconsistent player he's always been cause if he wasn't he would have stepped his game up while Melo was out and last night and he didn't. He might even be part of the deal if this rumor is true.

Done. No tradebacks.

I don't buy the rumor at all but Markieff's value is much lower to the Suns than for any other team. He's obviously dogging it over there.

Id be all about this

hes a solid scoring and rebounding option for us

insurance against melo missing any time
He'd also make the 2nd unit a lot more potent offensively

and Id like to see him play with Williams

It seems somewhat legit to me based on that. But still not entirely sure.

All they do is compile tweets from other sources. They have a lot of followers because you can get the main info all in one place. Its kinda like Twitter Wiretap.

i remember that account tweeting some bullsh*t from time to time too though. maybe he repeats rumors off message boards.

at least with Phil running the show. The one thing we have learned is Phil keeps a tight ship. We don't know about trades till they are actually in the final stages of happening.

Rumors don't have to come out of NY to be leaked. Can come from other people connected to organizations that spoke to us.

agreed, but usually teams like to work with organizations that have similar opinions on talking about trades.

I remember reading plenty of times organizations wouldn't trade with us because of our leaks in the past. It would be very unprofessional.

The probability of him being a poster on here is pretty slim I would agree. Even though I wondered about Mars Blackmon. Just was commenting on a trade that realistically wouldn't happen.

Now if there was any other way I could get my hands on that sweet shooting light skin brother Booker I would be all for it (kid can ball). The other two i'm pretty meh about especially for there price long term salary.

2 less years of a similar contract, not a jack off...I could absolutely see them wanting to do a 1 for 1 deal. Under most scenarios they would probably have to give up a draft pick to move his contract because of the douche bag he is.

He doesn't fix our problems and I don't seeing him have a significantly greater impact that what we already have (dwill).

That account only tweets about rumors of ESPN, Yahoo etc None of them talked about Knicks and Morris, nothing to see here.

True, it probably did come from someone other then the Knicks, but the intent may have been to use the Knicks name to get other teams interested.
