Frank Isola got an article calling Ryan the Melo stopper. I reuse to read it tho.
But I could see he's saying we are right to not take on Ryan and that ridiculous contract.

“If you have a guy wide open, he has to get the ball. It builds guys’ confidence. It makes the game funner. That’s just how it is. Of course some dudes are going to get more shots than other dudes. That’s how the game goes,” Morris said. “Guys are not going to respond well when they don’t get the ball when they’re open. That’s just basketball. That’s just the right way. The Spurs, Golden State, Cleveland, the top tier teams play the right way. You never win if you don’t play the right way. That’s just the bottom line.”

Is Marcus Morris talking about Reggie Jackson...or Carmelo Anthony?

They were teammates in ORL and are also both from Queens so they were probably friends before they even got in the league.

As long as they're short term, then ok. But we better be getting some good picks back.

The meeting—which reportedly centered around Jackson’s shot selection—took on the air of an intervention. Frankly, few of Jackson’s offensive possessions over the games leading into the meeting were particularly egregious; there were some ill-advised three-pointers, a handful of too-difficult runners, and possessions where Jackson should have moved the ball along. Yet all of this was pretty characteristic of Jackson’s play as a Piston. Pressing a bit has always been a part of his role in Detroit. It should shock no one to see him pressing still, even after Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Tobias Harris took on bigger, more creative roles in his absence.

Whether Jackson’s play is actually a problem effectively matters less than the fact that his teammates have identified it as one. In reality, the return of a player like Jackson really only taxes a player of a shot or two per game. Yet those shots can feel different based on a player’s role in creating them, and that feeling plays a role in Detroit’s effort and focus elsewhere. The thought that Jackson’s ball-dominance could hurt the Pistons’ defense might at first seem absurd, but basketball is a game of constant, invisible connection. Tweaking any one part of a team’s ecosystem can have real consequences elsewhere—including the level of investment a team feels when suddenly seeing the ball a lot less.

Do not get Reggie Jackson. He thinks he is equal to or greater than Russel Westbrook. He is a selfish ball player. Stay AWAY!!!

IT type of move right there. Hope that doesn't happen.

Not only are we going to get Reggie Jackson, but we are going to also manage to cough up a future 1st.
