    Yep and we got can’t use a trade exception with a player in combination so even send another player out won’t do it. We are basically stuck only getting a 3-4 million dollar player.

    Thon Maker makes 3 million. He can knock down 3s and block some shots. DMo is out there to be had for nothing. Its some players out there for the cheaper price.

    Hmmmm? Brings back a 4.3-ish salary player if sent by himself. Don't want him to go, now that he---finally!----seems to have his head and body right.

    actually, he is not bad. He is a taller PJ Tucker. He is a great shot blocker and a good defender. He has a better defensive rating than PJ Tucker and he is a good rebounder

    Perhaps the 76ers are, but we cannot.
    They can just cut players if need be, or actual pay extra for someone to take them but there is no reason for Detroit to throw away Morris for nothing to accomodate them.

    He defends straight to fouling out.
    Also as I said before he has fought with coaches in every single team he has been in.
    Coaches who actually do play Centers..not MDA who will send him to the doghouse at first glance.

    O’Quinn rebounds and he can also be a secondary playmaker from the top of the key when Harden is doubled. He averages over 5 assists per36.

    don't bring that knowledge in here.....people here want to be negative about players. If we signed LeBron, some people would still be down about it and have a cry

    of course he hasn't.
    Since he hardly played over 15 minutes since ALL the coaches hate him.

    And yet his PF per 36 is always near 5.5.
    Last year it was 6.6. :rolleyes:

    Give me 30 mins per night of O'Quinn brings to the table even if he fouls out.

    One foul every 5 mins is something I can live with to get shot blocking/rebounding and more importantly size on the front line.

    I will have to check, but I believe the trade exception is worth nearly 6 million dollars.

    Let's see if the Rockets can swing a deal for Markief Morris. So far the Pistons have been asking for too much.

    There will be some centers in the buyout market, so I am fine with the Rockets deciding to use that TE on another position.

    Honestly, whoever the Rockets get is going to end up playing like 15 minutes a night anyway.

    I would rather have Morris or a couple others........ but I just am not overly worried about it.
