    This. His defensive flexibility is interesting at the right price.

    i always thought this kid had enormous upside, but he's basically done nothing but regress in virtually every area of his game since his rookie year. Now he's 25 and a worse player than when he was a rookie? It's a rare thing to see and clearly an ominous sign. I'd take a flier on the talent, but only at a very cheap price.

    Meh, for 10th or 11th man, he is not terrible. Plus you always need trade filler contracts for down the line.

    This dude is trash, Rather play Bobby Brown meaningful mins. Only way this works is if Morey is about to pull off some big move and needs many vet min.

    NOT even for the minimum. Are you kidding me? This guy is more frustrating to watch than Corey Sewer!
    He can't do anything but turn the ball over.

    I've always wanted this kid..... I think it would be a great deal for the right price.... I also want to say he has a relationship with Mike D from his philly days....

    Guys everyone we get can't be a star now or even a great contributor now or else we wouldn't be able to afford them..... you Always need at least one to 2 guys who have a chance to bust out if put into a great fit for them....

    As bad as some of you have said he's been, he still fills up the stats sheet...... and at 6'6" with length and positional versatility of a 1,2,3 why not.....

    I'd imagine we wouldn't be asking him to come here to be a shooter. He would be a backup G we could use in situations to defend guys like Westbrook,Lillard, Steph, etc. He is capable of a triple double as he has shown on bad teams. Just tell him to drive and not shoot 3s or mid ranges very often.

    Maybe Morey wanted to see if he could have a second chance at finding our version of Shaun Livingston since we chose PatBev over him way back when.

    MCW would be a serviceable backup's backup if he could learn to post up like Livingston can. If MCW wants to play longer in this league he'll learn he needs to work on his jump shot (not even going to suggest he needs put in work on his 3pt shot).
