Morey needs to trade for Kieff Morris. Not just because of his skill..

    ...but because he seems like the type to speak his mind and yell at the team / certain players and get in your face when they aren't giving effort.

    People say he's a "character" , but that's not always bad.

    So yeah, he needs to be traded to Houston mainly because he's very good, but because this team also needs someone like him to speak out.

    Yeah some new guy coming I'm and getting in his teamates faces and yelling at them would work awesome. I'm sure the guys would love that and it totally wouldn't start any flights.

    That's just ridiculous, not that Markieff is that guy at all. There has been no proof that he yells at teamates for playing bad.

    Who on this team holds his teammates accountable like Pop, Draymond, Kobe? Its not the coach, and certainly not dwight/harden.

    I don't think Kieff is that kind of player. He's more of the kind of a guy who whines when he doesn't get his way

    trade for a guy who has fewer rpg, a lower fg% a lower 3pt% and fewer blks pg on identical mpg (25.3) over his career than TJones career... think i'm gonna pass...

    Sure, but one things for certain : nobody on the current roster is that person who holds people accountable.

    Jones + Lawson for Anderson and Cole would be great. In all honesty, I wouldn't die if we acquired Kieff, but it would have to be for the right price, and off the bench.

    Morris is not on the same level as certain players to start barking anything out, even it comes from positive intent.

    Plus, that type of player-to-player interaction doesn't always work well, unless the voice is from a proven winner.

    Our voice of reason is Jet. He may not be the loudest, but the team respects him, and he has the track record to let other guys know what's up.

    From articles and interviews, it sounds like he isn't intimidate to pull anyone, from James to KJ, aside for some constructive criticism or redirection.

    I like Morris for basketball reasons, but I wouldn't ever want DM to trade for a player just to shake things up for the hell of it.

    Agreed, Ship Jones' punk out of here, and they can take Brewer too.

    Since when being a malcontent means holding your teammates accountable? Morris doesn't get into his teammates faces. He goes into the refs faces and earns techs, into his coach face and throws insults, into the fans faces with public comments that enrage entire fanbases, into other teams' players by saying random bad stuff about them and also into the face of anyone sending his mom texts and sends them to hospital and then tries to evade the punishment by the law that he should get. Jail time.

    We need another rim protector if we trade jones imo..trading lawson takes away a ball handler so we better get another if we do do trade lawson....so 2 issues going on if lawson gets traded

    Tjones is done, and his plus/minus has to be a negative 9,000
