What the hell does this mean?

If he is implying the Suns did his brother wrong, he seriously needs to look in the mirror. The Morris twins have been such a pain in the a$$.

Emotions running high.. I am sure Keef understands.

Hope Marcus Morris does well in Detroit.

If PJ is a big selling point for LMA to sign with the suns, then dude pretty much secured his future with the team for a while, meaning kieff is probably the guy to go next

Yup! Had a chance to dump him and we didn't. Interesting.

Really only dropped Marcus Morris, Danny Granger, and Reggie Bullock. Morris and Granger were SF ... Bullock at 6'7" is listed as a SG but could pass for a SF. Archie is backup for Bledsoe and Knight until Booker comes along.

and at this point Archie is younger and has more upside, so if you were going to ask for someone in a trade you should demand Archie over Bullock

His ceiling is incredibly high. I'm a believer. But also nervous he could be packaged just in case another team demand him to be part of the deal.

Are you Doug Franz by any chance?

Except this was a salary dump and the Pistons should be happy with just Marcus at $5M.

Markieff can be mad all he wants, bottom line is we brought that dude in, (Marcus) gave him the chance, and he blew it at every f****** turn causing b******* in locker room arguing with the coach seemingly trying to fight techs galore and now this fool is the main one who is the reason they get a felony assault charge ....he is the one who supposedly beat that dude up while Keef just held everyone back.... this f*** is a troublemaker if not for us he would probably be out of league.... but the fact that we brought him in paired him with his brother and made him a millionaire with the second contract we did that f*** of favor!

Well he made it a lighthearted tweet. I'm sure he is disappointed his brother will be gone. I wouldn't put much more thought in it than that. A few others had similar reactions to you earlier though. I don't think it's a big deal. For the most part, he has been a solid player and respectful...his brother was the instigator in almost everything and the worse player.

Not to mention that we just traded away 3 SFs, and have only PJ an Warren left, yet if LMA signs with us, we have Leuer as a backup.

Bledsoe/Goodwin
Knight/Booker/McNeal
Tucker/Warren
LMA/Leuer
Chandler/Len

I wonder if Keef can play SF. That would be insane.

Bledsoe
Knight
Keef
Aldridge
Chandler

Don't see it but hope Keef stays and shuts a lot of you guys up. He's a good player. Just needed to get away from his brother.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #1012 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Fri Jul 3, 2015 5:59 am

The Aldridge alternative.

S+T Tucker (and pieces) for Harris.
S+T Markieff (and pieces) for Kanter.

Not sure how Chandler signing would fit in to that age strategy though.

Post #1013 » by **bwgood77** » Fri Jul 3, 2015 6:00 am

So I guess we can keep Tucker or Kieff if we sign LMA? It doesn't seem like the salaries work. If we keep Tucker it seems like we would have to send out Goodwin and more.

Got to figure out how to add some shooting to the second unit if things work out. If that is the scenario its not a bad problem to have. Lol.

Keef doesn't even have the lateral speed to guard PF's, let alone SF's lol

One thing i'm not entirely clear is where the dragic trade exception does and how it can come into play

Mulhollanddrive · Post #1017 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Fri Jul 3, 2015 6:04 am

Barbosa for back up PG?

Jdiddy701 · Post #1018 » by **Jdiddy701** » Fri Jul 3, 2015 6:04 am

I think if we strike out on LMA, we need to keep what we have and possibly just add Amare. Keef will compliment very well next to Chandler. At worst:

Bledsoe
Knight
Tucker
Keef
Chandler

I am okay rolling with that to see how it goes. We have Archie-Booker-Warren-STAT-Len off the bench.

I don't know. I never think of trade exceptions for under the cap teams. I only thought they were useful for over the cap teams so a team over the cap if they unloaded salary they could replace it even if they are over the cap. I'm not even sure why you get a trade exception when you are under the cap...maybe if you go over the cap then you can use it, but I don't think you can use it in a trade when another player is involved.
