I'm sick and tired of false hope and dreams. We were lead to believe something great was to happen at the trade deadline and nothing but tank tank tank. Every year the same thing. Poor players and bad management. How can you build a franchise when all you do is trade your draft picks for more draft picks. And players who can't shoot. What are they looking at when they bring in players? I feel that we will never see that final championship when the great player won't come here and the good ones leave or get traded. Give me what you are feeling. EXPRESS YOUR FRUSTRATION.

look at it this way, we paid 15 million dollars for a late 1st round pick...haha

he never grasps anything lol

You can't call that savvy until you see the player we draft in one of the weakest draft classes in recent memory.

Now if leon comes in and flip that pick for someone special..then ill give a thumbs up

it’s funny the only way you think anything is a good deal is if we trade picks. I mean we have a lot of picks now so we have flexibility to do that but that’s why is a good deal. But you never like anything we do. You hated the Melo trade even though we got Mitch in that deal, you wanted Russell even though it would of cost us a lot, and predictably you hate this trade.

Morris makes 15 million, we traded him for a 25th or worse pick in the first round and filled zero holes on the most unbalance roster in the NBA, You are saying that a bottom of the draft pick is more valuable than what morris brings to the table..(Maybe you thing the losing is a good way to develop)

Scott perry's BODY of work over the last 10+ seasons has been a flat out FAILURE, he has not been associated with any winning franchise since Detroit (where he had a minor role) in the FO...So stop acting like HE"S THE MAN

Don't sit up here and try to justify any of these moves as a success, because you know better, and you don't have a leg to stand on, just pure optimism

You have seen this movie 6 yrs in a row and the ending has been the same, so what makes you feel that it will be different?

And hell no, I'm not excited about any of our young players (accept rj) because all they know is losing, their IQ's are low, they can't shoot, and they don't work on their game hard enough..

No we got a lot of production from Morris. (This isn't the Memphis/Igoudala situation) He was a good player. Players don't play for free. He won us some games. He earned that money.

We got a late 1st and an early 2nd for renting Morris out for a team to use him in the post-season. I am going to root for the Clips because of him at least in the Western Conference playoffs. He wasn't going to the playoffs here. He earned his $15 mil these first 50 games.

You got to show the young guys frank ,mitch ,knox,and rj barrett some type of culture of winning otherwise it becomes a kp situation and they ask out.

I kinda find myself agreeing with knicks1248, but I’m not convinced that adding a super late first round pick in what I have read is a weak draft is worth it and overcompensates for losing out on having Morris around to continue to help us win games.

Our draft picks, including our future ones, need veterans around to help them learn to win, help them learn what it means to be a pro off the court, and from everything said about Morris, he brought that.

I hope we can resign Morris in the summer. He proved he could play here.

was he a knucklehead? Yes.

Is he the #1 option on a playoff team? No.

Some of the talk about downplaying Morris and what he meant reminds me of the comments here about Kurt Thomas.

Great win last night. I certainly don’t want to win too many games and have us in a position to miss out on a solid talent in the draft.

And while I don't like the trade, I think Perry got a nice haul out of it.

I just would've not made this trade.
