    I really dont know what to feel about this guy.. Honestly.. I just kinda wanna forget that we drafted him. It's not that he's a bad player(as far as I know) I just want to forget that he exist.

    I am thinking him and Donatus should be packaged in a trade along with Scola for that star we want. Thats two first rounders and Scola. Add in one other filler to make it happen.

    Scola, Donatus Montajunas, Morris, and Budinger for Danny Granger?

    No. IF then only for a perennial allstar and not a one time allstar.

    D-Mo played a lot like a Chris Bosh/Kevin Love hybrid in the Euro league. Crashed the boards so much he set the record (18 rebs?) for a single game, and then played face up and scored all over the court from the post to the perimeter.

    Aside from Lowry, IMHO he's the 2nd most untouchable player we have in the team. I wouldn't trade him unless its part of a package for DH, LBJ or KD.

    This. People are saying he should have definitely been a top 10 pick now. The kid has serious potential.

    Damn. I feel sorry for Marcus. I know he feels bad about not getting any playing time. While his brother plays great for the Suns. i Hope he could play as soon as possible with the Rockets.

    They rockets should have no untouchables. Lowry has been playing like crap lately. If I could get williams from the nets, lowry would be on the first train smoking because williams is a better player period. I really do like do nuts though.

    Just wait until we play hard teams again, and people start grumbling about ways in which we could improve our squad. SF seems like such a deep position right now where last year it was clearly a thin spot and the #1 need for our team aside from a center. Miraculously, Morey addressed both, each in their own way, this offseason.

    As a general rule, I would never close the book on a Morey lottery pick. But I hope Marcus is watching our current team and telling himself that the best way to ingratiate himself in the eyes of our administration would be not only to become a go-to scorer with great 1-on-1 moves, but also to become a lockdown defender.

    We need a genuine 3. Bud and Parsons are ok-ish.

    Morris is going to be a good player. There is no reason why he shouldn't be getting minutes right now...

    If anyone is going to be traded, it will be Scola. I hate that because he has to be the fan favorite at this point and he seems like a real good guy. I hate to trade players who try hard for divas like Howard or Melo.

    He should be coming down here to the RGV. On a side note the Vipers also signed Will Conroy last week.

    Is Aaron Brooks the best player to have gone down to the D-League?

    stats wise I mean.
