    Let Lakers have him, Harkless is the real prize and better fit.

    Frazier and Howard do not count against active 15, they are 2 way players.

    Will Morris be able to play in our switching scheme?

    Rockets are gonna want to make sure he WANTS to play with Houston. Is not like they want to claim him and then have to waive him.

    Out of those I feel like Clemons is the man out. He is undersized only 5’9, although his shot is nice

    Chandler like you said won’t be in the rotation but will be our vet on the bench. Harty has upside and size. Thabo is here because of Harden and Russ and he can play some defense.


    I feel if we get Morris and then another player gets bought out we could waive Chandler then.

    There you go. Reminder, this is a guy who has attacked his teammate on the bench before. There can be different meanings to the word “vet”. So if he wants to be with the Lakers, don’t think the Rockets will get in the way of that and grab him with the TPE on top of waiving someone.

    *interesting tidbit: when he did attack his teammate in Phoenix, it was PJ and Chandler who had to come hold him back. And no, I am not implying we have players familiar with him and should get him :)

    look at the lakers going away from the AD/Dwight & AD/JaVale lineups. I wonder what team made them do that o_O

    Yea but no news on Harkless yet. They haven’t initiated any buy out talks. Would be another good addition if he does get bought.

    We should prevent him from going to the lakers. Morris is better than Jeff Green.

    Kind of sold myself on the idea of picking him up to play he and Uncle Jeff at the 5 and bumping PJ back down to the 4 just because it would make us bigger, but if it doesn’t happen oh well. Not sure if he can man up on the perimeter. Wouldn’t mind having the option though. 40% from 3 this year

    Why Morris > Hackless?
    I thought Morris has some low post game, plus shooting from downtown

    Or by claiming him off waivers before the lakers can sign him.
