Nice we picked up Morris, I feel better about our PF rotation now. Just need another Wing and a backup PG and we looking okay now.

Outside the season they lost to Toronto in the 2nd round and the bubble season (as a 5th seed), we've mainly been a bottom seeded franchise with horrible contracts.

I try to be reasonably optimistic and I do think this team could give other teams a tough series if everything works out with health including Oladipo (if he comes back) and Herro becoming the player we hope he can be. But that's too much of a what if to make me feel comfortable.

I do get that there was only so much we could do, but that's the problem. This strategy of whale chasing and missing on good players for just a chance of getting a Giannis backfired. Now we have limited roster with no size and old players that is hard capped with barely any draft picks.

They are my team no matter what, but I can only be positive and hopeful so much. I just don't like what we've been doing for almost a decade now. I'll hope for the best since I can't control anything.

What you're looking for is perfection

When Kaminsky was 15, the team ventured to Kansas City to play an under-17 tournament. Mullins took nine players with him but left Kaminsky back after consulting with Big Frank, who starred at Lewis University and coached at York and Glenbard West.

Most of the rationale, Mullins says, was practical — Kaminsky could benefit more by staying home and lifting weights than from playing spot minutes against physically developed opponents. Mullins also wanted to light a fire under Kaminsky. And, by the way, the Wolves won the tournament.

"I'm sure it was a punch to the gut," Mullins says.

Kaminsky cried on the ride home to Lisle, but Big Frank was hardly sympathetic.

"It's your choice — be a ballplayer or not," Big Frank told him. And this: "If you're not going to quit crying, go play soccer."

As Little Frank now recalls it: "He pretty much told me, 'Stop being a baby.' It definitely was motivation for me to get better to prove to people that I could be good enough."

See? I told you guys to relax, and now we have Markieff Morris, Dwyane Dedmon, and Tyler Herro off our bench. Bring in Danny Green at the minimum and Lou Williams and our bench is solid. We should also resign Oladipo and use him when he's healthy...

If we can get Avery Bradly back our team is going to be a nuisance on defence

At least we have some pf/center depth finally with the Morris signing

I like the Kieff signing, we need him to contribute big.

Post #252 » by **MettaWorldPanda** » Tue Aug 3, 2021 10:33 pm

We got some serious dogs on this team.

Markieff Morris

the dude who choked the final shot for the Lakers in game 6 of the Lakers-Heat finals, by throwing the ball to nobody out of bounds?

Post #254 » by **BFRESH44** » Tue Aug 3, 2021 10:33 pm

I assume Morris was signed to the Bi-Annnual. Another tough dude. Let’s hope he can have a career 3 point shooting year.

This Markieff morris?

Watch on YouTube

The same Markieff Morris the Lakers no longer wanted back?

South beach also bad. Give me Bradley at this point.

What I like with Morris is you can easily start him with Bam and not sacrifice as much height, but I'm sure Tucker will get the first crack at it. I'd still pick up Giles to have another big.

There we go.

Our front court should be decent this season. Start Morris in the RS so PJ can have his legs ready for the playoffs.

Slot Machine · Post #259 » by **Slot Machine** » Tue Aug 3, 2021 10:35 pm

Absolutely do not want Lou on this team.

Would have preferred Millsap. Hopefully Markief can shoot better here than he did with the Lakers.
