I wonder how close the Morris brothers are to Davis (all of them are Klutch clients). Could potentially help convince Davis to stay if he’s acquired.

Having both Morris brothers in the same locker room did not work well in Phoenix.

That doesn't change the fact that he walks A LOT, and shoots very bad, just like he said.

And he’s still incredible

I consider his play an exploitation of Refs application of the rules... Anyway that's something that only damages the guy because prevents him the right way to play ball. Harden has the same issue with all the fake fouls called on him...

Robin Lopez likely to be bought out. Someone to consider.

A Morris on the floor at all times?!?!?

I think Markieff Morris fits the Celtics perfectly. A big guy who can play PF/C, rebound and shoot the 3 ball. Not to mention he knows someone on the team.

I agree. At the same time this is about as obvious of a conclusion as LBJ leaving Cleveland last year. Celtics are going to be all over this because they have his brother and both love playing together.

Does anyone remember what the Morris/Morris problem in Phoenix was? Or why there's bad blood between Phoenix and Marcus Morris?

Markieff is actually not a great rebounder for his size. 10-12 percent rebounding rates for his career.

JaMychal Green would be the guy to target, if he were bought out by Memphis or traded to a team that bought him out..

Wasn't that like 4 years ago? Mo has certainly matured, dunno about Kief. They aren't kids anymor3 and they have kids. I'd do this.

Baynes, Smart and the Morris brothers would be the ultimate goon squad.

I would be all over this if Kieff does get bought out.

I think the bad blood is because they re-signed to stay together in Phoenix and were told that they would be kept together (maybe took less money) but it wasn't held up on Phoenix end (wasn't in the contract obviously). Something like that IIRC.

With top teams busting huge moves in the east I hope we wake up before is too late. Mirotic to the Bucks.
