Buyout targets ?

Ellington

 

I know it's old but between Gortat being a FA again and @rockets13champs Wayne Ellington recruitment thread... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Check the date on that tweet.

 

Stretch 4
Or
Big SF 3&D No short guys
Need size & length
Or
40% plus 3pt shooter

 

not in their offense but the guy can shoot and be used for a stretch 4 situations. When Harden

If we cant get that I think we settle on house at that point

 

So we’re waiting to pick up other teams garbage

 

We have a tendency to turn other teams' garbage into our treasure if you haven't noticed.

 

Sooner or later your luck just runs out.

 

when you are clicking on the buy out targets thread the day of the trade deadline, things didn't go well.

 

Morris had a neck injury and was out for 6 weeks as of Jan 3rd, not a bad option at all

 

Markieff would be a huge upgrade at a position of need, but I doubt Tilman wants to spend for it.

 

no clue how this relates to anything. do you not realize a lot of the guys "traded" end up on the market.

people really complain about every little thing around here. it's terrible

 

Yes, I'll take one Morris, please.

 

Markieff in theory is great, but I didn't realize his injury was as severe as it was. Transient cervical neuropraxia was the diagnosis and I wonder if he will be playing again this season at all.

I saw he is getting a second opinion on the injury and that makes me wonder how his recovery is going.

Morris only makes sense if he gets cleared. Shouldn't be a surprise if the Rockets and harden look into it further

 

I'd love to have him but this situation screams Brandon Wright

 

Old news but the Morris bros are tight with Harden I believe Marcus played with Harden one season if I remember correctly. I also remember we were rumored to be interested in MArkieff and vice versa back in 2015 per below article.

Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris wants out of Phoenix, but where can he go?

After the Suns traded his twin brother Marcus to the Detroit Pistons, Morris wants to be dealt elsewhere. According to a recent report, the Houston Rockets and Toronto Raptors are two desired locations.

Here's more from John Gambadoro of ArizonaSports.com:

"He feels disrespected, says the Suns management never called him or his brother after the trade of Marcus Morris to Detroit. He is unhappy the Suns were willing to trade him to Portland for LaMarcus Aldridge, unhappy that they wanted to replace him. He believes he took a below-market deal in order to play with his brother long-term. And now he is prepared to do whatever it takes to force Phoenix to deal him.

He likes Houston because of James Harden and Toronto because of Kyle Lowry, but he honestly doesn’t care where he gets dealt as long as he is not wearing a Suns uniform. He is going to tell the Suns he can’t play for them, has too much hatred and animosity built up and that they won’t want him around."
