Anyone catch the Woj Bomb? Apparently we’re checking out Santa Cruz’s Darius Morris.

So last week when I was looking through the G-League stats for PG prospects I came across Morris. I thought his numbers were o.k. His assist numbers were decent but he's not shooting well & if you don't shoot well in the G-League I think it's reasonable to assume you won't in the NBA. I remember when he was drafted & played for the Lakers.

I'm happy to see we're dreaming big. Just please tell me he's no relation.

At this point I'm up for trying just about any method to catch lightning in a bottle. There's not really anything that can make this team worse so let the experimenting begin.

Surprised they haven't mentioned bringing SG George King up from NAZ or has the front office also forgotten about him like we have?

I'm sure they will give him minutes eventually but he's not a SG. He's barely a SF. He's more of a small ball PF that can shoot the 3 and bang a little.

I also agree on your other point. Bring in who-the-fuck ever as long as it doesn't cost us any actual assets.

More G-Leaguers? We need actual NBA talent to win some games. We can't keep laying down and giving up on the season in December every year.

Not that I have much faith in the interim front office to be able to handle anything. Man we are fucked.

Jimmer? More Anderson? Do you want to compile the all white garbage team sdc or what? Maybe we can see what Adam Morrison is up to these days.

This team is dumb. Had they waited about a week to waive Canaan, they could have addressed the roster shortage in an Ariza trade. Because it's too early to sign 10-days they have to either make a trade without using Ariza or sign a player to a 1-year contract.

I agree BUT Jimmer is putting up like 90 point games in China as to where Adam Morrison is smoking cigarettes, probably at a poker table. Kind of at opposite ends if the white garbage spectrum.

I wish Lebron had told our GM better things to do! Hopefully Klutch will give us better advice in the future. KCP trade incoming!!
