2012-13 Free Agency Part II

Word on the street is that Eddy Curry & Derrick Brown were both cut from the Spurs because neither of them displayed the ability to rebound. The Spurs felt like they already had enough scorers in the regular rotation and were looking for players at the end of the bench that could do the intangibles like defense & rebounding.

Looks like the Mavs picked up Curry.

I almost forgot that they got rid of Mahinmi. My guess is that they don't trust Kaman to stay healthy and their only current backup C is rookie Bernard James, so they added Curry for depth. Decent pickup for them considering their lack of size in the frontcourt.

Ammo hasn't retired.

Adam Morrison won America’s heart while playing for college basketball’s perennial Cinderella, Gonzaga. Unfortunately, he has not had the same effect on NBA general managers, and he is now without basketball-related employment. With no NBA team in need — or want — of his services, Morrison is going back on his original statement that he would retire if he did not make the Trailblazers this season by turning his eyes back toward Europe. The former NCAA Player of the Year played in Serbia and Turkey last season after being cut by the Lakers after the 2009-10 season. “We are looking for a good Euroleague or Eurocup situation for [Adam],” said Brad Ames of Priority Sports Management, according to Sportando. “If we don’t have anything [from Europe] over the next few weeks, Adam will consider the D-League for call-up opportunities.” Morrison’s most productive season as a pro was his rookie year with the Bobcats. Morrison averaged 11.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 29.8 minutes per game. He was traded to the Lakers the following year for Vladimir Radmanovic. The Clippers signed Morrison to their summer league team this year, where he averaged 20 points, five rebounds and an assist in five games. The summer league led to a training camp invite with the Blazers, which ended with him being waived Oct. 27.

Why can't we sign him? We're tanking. What do we have to lose? At the very least, he'd make sure Reggie would never see the court.

We can't sign him because he's not better than any guy currently on the team, save probably Higgins. He's not young and doesn't have upside.

If we're going to try guys out, I'd rather go after some diamond in the rough type players
