Re: Bye Bye Marcus
Costs us Bullock and Granger just to get rid of Mook but considering how much I dislike Mook, I'm happy with this trade. Also means it's back to TJ and PJ at the 3, which I don't mind.
Also considering the MoBro's legal woes, the fact that anyone would even touch Mook's deal (attitutde problem and all) McD is a bloody genius

Marcus Morris will be considered a gentle soul by Pistons standards.

Why? Kieff is a good player on a great deal
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Hope we can still keep if Kieff if we dont acquire LMA. Marcus was my least favourite player on the team.

Re: Bye Bye Marcus
Thanks for the responses guys. He sounds like the exact opposite to the kind of player i want on my team.
Maybe SVG can hire Ben Wallace to smack him around if he gets out of line. At least his deal is cheap i guess.
Good luck in the Aldridge sweepstakes. Hope you guys get him.

To be fair, he seemed alright in Houston. It was only when the MoBros reunited, that's when their attitude really shone

Hopefully the change of scenery does him good.
On paper he's what the team needs, but without much vet leadership on the team it could get ugly if he doesn't pull his head in.

Re: Bye Bye Marcus
I love this deal whether we get LMA or not. Getting rid of all the excess. Frees up more time for Warren and everyone has a more defined role. McD's still got my full confidence.
Hope Marcus does well for the Pistons. Have nothing against them and would like to see them make the playoffs.

I like this move more than the Chandler deal lol. TJ's time is now.

Yes they are. Dude is an a hole to the biggest degree. Also a big black hole, he tries to ISO so much and his crossovers are one of the slowest crossovers in the NBA.
I think SVG might be able to control him better than Hornacek though.
He's a good 3pt shooter if you can convince him to just catch and shoot instead of pretend to be Melo/Kobe. Not a bad rebounder for a SF either.
Good luck!

To me, Marcus was pretty good for us. His off the court stuff was concerning but I think he can fix that-- he's still young at 25. He's on a great deal so I think this trade worked for both sides if we get LMA.

Was stoked when I heard this earlier. Great deal, Aldridge or no Aldridge.
Freed up Marcus' salary and minutes without giving up an asset or taking anything bad back. And, they did what needed to be done- split up the twins.

Re: Bye Bye Marcus
I nearly did this when I saw Mook was traded.
Didn't want to wake the wife though. Maybe on the weekend...

I would say it was exactly the opposite. It cost us Marcus to get rid of Granger and Bullock.

Re: Bye Bye Marcus
