we do still need a back up 3. Im not thrilled at the idea of having one of our 2s backing up the 3 spot. We need to put an end to small ball.

I would like to add:

the more players who show a lot of promise, really want to come\play here, play for the Roaracle, appreciate the town and fans will most likely be ignored by the front office.

or if he is already on the team and shows a lot of passion to stay here, he will get traded.

I don’t think he takes up the MLE. I would rather have Barnes than Morrow because of that, plus he’s the thug we need on D. No more soft players. Morrow isn’t necessarily soft, but he is ineffective on defense. Defense, defense, defense. We have enough offensive players.

He was looking for big $$ but it’s hard to say.

Barnes is a great small 4 because he rebounds well, and i’m sure Nellie knows that.

Barnes would start in that situation. He’s definitely better than Wright.

I’d be THRILLED if we could sign him for say, Morrow money.

 Have they actually signed the DoorL contract yet? Maybe they can switch it to a door M instead?
   Matty or DoorL ? Don’t know much about Wright#2 , but we definitely need to keep More-O as our sharpshooter so only one of those SF’s makes the cut.

I like Chris Hunter because he’s a big dude and is more of a C than Tolliver. He does more C things than Tolliver. If Tolliver was on the roster, I fear Don Nelson would use him more than Wright and Udoh.

Don’t forget we still have the power to match, and we can keep a good chunk of their cash tied up for a week while other FAs are getting picked up. There is some motivation for them as long as the cost isn’t too high. They still have some of our picks that we gave them for (gulp) Marcus “anybody-need-a-laptop” Williams. It might not be too much to ask to grab a future 2nd in order to allow them to close the deal with Morrow. It would take some posturing on our part.

This is all working under the assumption that the W’s FO don’t want to retain Morrow of course, but the Nets don’t know that for sure.

It gets kinda complicated.

If we can (magically) turn Monta into Iguodala, we can cover all the stray minutes at 2 and 3. Something like…

Curry 38 / Bell 10
Iguodala 18 / Williams 18 / Morrow 12
DWright 22 / Iguodala 20 / Morrow 6
Lee 30 / BWright 14 / Udoh 4
Biedrins 28 / Lee 8 / Udoh 10 / Gadzuric 4

Quite a solid team, if we can make the $$$ work…
