Who cares if he wants to play here, honestly! I mean, He's only a role player ( if he was an all-star type player it'd be different) We shouldn't sign role players just because they want to be here..

Morrow>> Kleiza ( better player and fit in my opinion)

I like Morrow, but man, if this is all he could get on the market, it shows a lot of teams consider him one-dimensional.

Look at Wesley Mathews of Utah : Just signed to an offer sheet by Portland for 5/$34m. The obvious see him as the better investment.

Not a huge fan of the Kleiza signing but I do believe he is the better player. I do think Kleiza is much better suited for this team, big underrated defender, pretty good rebounder at his position. Kleiza is athletic as well, can finish around the rim.

Morrow is decent but I think people overestimate his skills. He is somewhat one-dimensional, he shoots a lot of spot up jumpers in transition.

This guy did put up his stats on an awful, run and gun Warriors club with lots of other offense options to take away the pressure from him and no system to dictate when and where he should and shouldn't take shots from. Whereas Kleiza had an impact on a fairly solid Nuggets squad on which he was a backup to Carmello, so I'd much rather a guy like Kleiza than Morrow.

That's a fair price for what he brings and his upside (given what korver and JJ got) Maybe he WANTED to go there. NJ has a very good center to draw doubles. They have a couple athletic driving guys that will get him kick outs. They lack shooting. I think they give him a good shot to suceed. Not only is GS getting close to the tax but they are up for sale and that means they really don't want to be taking on salary. They may not match simply for financial reasons.

Morrow is a very, very efficicent offensive player, but why the hell would the Raptors want another shooter? Kleiza is easily the better fit because of the rebounding and grit he brings to the table.

add this onto the price of the David Lee sign and trade.. the warriors might not have the cap space to match because of the David Lee signing

this is good value compared to all the other bench players that have gotten big money this off-season

he can end up being an dynamic scorer, he is a 7 million dollar player in this market easily
