He would possibly help our, at times, anemic bench but, does this really help us? Also bringing someone like Morris with his checkered past to NYC could be a potential problem. If they're willing to take Jose off our hands I guess I wouldn't say no though.

Dont think we need another big.

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.

He would be the 2nd best player behind Melo/KP immediately

This. Especially with Phil at the helm. His moves have rarely, if ever been telegraphed, including the drafting of KP.

He's a buy-low guy that can potentially increase the value of a package we're offering teams like Detroit and Atlanta for Jennings or Teague.

Wouldn't that be 3rd best player?

Depending on what we'd give up (NO PICKS!), I'd be all for this. Dude can play and is physical.

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

Get it done. He needs a change of scenery and is a really good player that would fit and, if he's good, is on a great deal.
