    Always trust in Morey (however that saying goes)... On a more serious note, this is a terrible signing if they gave up most of their remaining money for a backup PG. Otherwise, I can't think of a lot of better backup PGs on the market. This will have to do for now.

    Great news. Much better than MCW and Knight.

    Great, we pickup a PG who has a FT% like a center.

    You know there's an in-between there. A GM's job is not to do anything. It's to do something that will benefit the team. A good GM's job is to do something that will clearly benefit the team.

    WOW this is crazy this dude is chippy and an enemy of our locker room after the fight last year. But at the same time he is a competitor and finished good around the basket and comes to play. We need a little edge on our team

    Who better did you think we could pick up?

    The man makes 12 mil on the open market. He is definitely a rotational player

    I’m concerned about defense still. Concerned about chemistry but still a no brainer move.

    Bring back Melo! ;)

    He kinda sucks this year (and well most of his career, minus the previous 2 years) but sure? Maybe he can find his "groove" again.

    Better than doing nothing. This must have been approved by Harden and CP3 so I won't worry about chemistry issues.

    Chris Paul has been much dirtier his carreer with his flopping yet noone had a problem cheering for him once he became a Rocket.

    I know what i am saying might sound bad but we may need to look at shumpert or Jr pretty hard now. I wish there were more dudes to pick from but the league is not going to deal with Daryl on any major pieces

    Y'all need to put your big boy pants on. The guy's worst crime is being annoying, hopefully he brings some edge. If he plays like he did last year, this is a solid get.

    Will CF flip its opinion of him? Or will he still be hated?

    CF sure got on CP3 nuts after hating him.

    Not sure but I believe Shumpert has been playing well and rehabiliated a little his value.

    lol. I welcome any player that has the confidence to take the ball out of Harden's hands to give him rest..

    We also had the Mavs legend Jason Terry letting it fly for us.

    If you erase the memory of him stirring the pot against us a couple seasons ago...And talkin out the side of his neck on the bench last season...Solid Pickup by Morey lol...Can play some defense, create off the dribble, and hit the 3...His game will open up under D’antoni and keep James and Eric fresh
