To the original poster: I see you have a JJ avatar. Is it like a sick twisted fantasy of yours to unite JJ and Morison since they are best friends and college players of the year?

I am not ready to give up on Morrison just yet, and if he can be had this cheap I for one would roll the dice. He would be a very solid 6th man scorer off the bench. We could then use the late first round pick on either CDR or a big and sign whichever of those 2 we don't draft for all or part of the MLE. Something like Childress or Kurt Thomas.

I like that reasoning.

Think of it like this: we got Hedo to do exactly that, which was come off the bench and score. Granted, it was also insurance if Hill wasn't going to be healthy. But I think if the price was right, Morrison would be a good bench scorer.

r. Morrison's 45.0 true shooting percentage was the second-worst among small forwards. That he averaged double figures anyway was testament to the minutes Charlotte kept giving him and the fact he never stopped shooting. But he had a horrible, horrible season, and anyone who says differently just wasn't paying attention.

Scouting report: Wait, there's more. Morrison might have been the worst one-on-one defender in the game, standing far too upright with his hands at his sides while scorers zoomed past him. So bad was it that as soon as he entered one game against Washington, the Wizards immediately called an isolation for DeShawn Stevenson -- probably the only time they called that play all season -- to attack Morrison on a post-up. Though Stevenson is four inches shorter, he scored easily.

These two posts are easily some of the most disgusting things I've ever seen written on this board. People being sold on this bust is just sad. Morrison is pure garbage. Trading Reddick and the 22 for him would be insane considering both players are probably going to end up being better than him. I hate Reddick and I'd rather have him over this garbage. I can't even believe you guys would do something that crazy.
