Guy really isn't worth anything but the min after Atlanta and NJ. He would be a great add but shouldn't pay him more than a lot of guys

Back in June when Dwight Howard (and Andrei Kirilenko) were showing Russian kids how to the play the game and shimmying with the Nets Dancers, he did an interview with Russia Today, an English language Russian TV outlet. RT's Roman Kosarev asked, "If you were to pick four partners from the NBA, who would they be?"

His response, "Well, Chris Paul, Stephen Jackson...what's his name, Deron Williams and Anthony Morrow or, I got five, Monta Ellis, I like him."

Howard took the question seriously, smiling only when he momentarily forgot Williams name. Both Williams and Morrow have already retweeted Elone's tweet. As for us, we haven't been this excited since LeBron James said Brooklyn was his favorite borough in New York!


Oh SNAP!

all jokes aside. I support this pick up. Need shooters.
Cheers. :beer: — Mags

Bad, bad defender.

An upgrade offensively over Meeks.

You guys gonna learn to stop getting hyped up off these guys mentioning the Lakers in their teams list. They only do it for leverage. Then also once the Lakers are mentioned other teams will move quicker just to make sure that guy ain't with the Lakers.

I actually think Morrow is a better defender than meeks. He plays hard on defense and is a longer defender than meeks.

With half our roster not returning, we need bodies out there and if they can shoot that's all the better. Vet min for Morrow!

yes, I'll go after him and chase him away from the team.

but seriously, one would wonder why the Spurs got rid of him. would've considered him if not for that incident.
