it sounds like kwame wants to be on the team. well we wanted a competent bigman, he seems to be the best on the market. i would like to have him backup horford.

Morris seems to be just passing through. i hope he catches on somewhere.

I hope Sund is taking a serious look at Kwame because he could become a very good backup for us and even start if we had injuries. I don't know what they're doing with Randolph Morris but he is staying for the mini camp so I think we're somewhat serious about him too.

[evildallas]

Kwame for 3M per seems fair IMO to backup Al.

[lunarblues]

i think the potential well has dried up for kwame, he might need to take 3-4 mil in order to resurrect his career.

[HMFFL]

We need depth on this team and we certainly need it at the 5. I hope Kwame is serious about joining the Hawks and I hope Sund strongly considers him.

Back to the comparison, Kwame has shown more than Morris has at this point. You just have to realize Kwame's limitations (his hands) and compensate him and use him for what he can do.

Kwame would be a great pickup for us. A big body that can D guys up when Al is a little overmatched.

I'm not too fond of Morris as much more than a 13th-15th man.

This is spot on. Kwame has all sorts of limitations offensively but is very good on post D and won't get pushed around much. As long as his minutes are limited and he doesn't try to actually do anything on offense, he could be a valuable contributor.

I haven't seen Morris play too much in the NBA, but in college he seemed to play smaller than he really was and never seemed able to finish after taking a hit down low. I've seen glimpses of him recently so I'm not too sure.

If kwame is healthy, he will honestly be a steal for this team. His defense alone would be an upgrade for this team. Also he is one of if not the quickest big man in the league. He is a player that allows you to play straight up down low.

Love to have KB. Signing the Joshes and him would make it a very sucessful off-season. We'd need another min. FA or two but this would look quite good:

Horford / Brown / Zaza

Smoove / Horford / Jones

Marvin / Chil / Smoove

JJ / Chil / Mario

Bibby / Law / Speedy
