Good player on bad team is at best OK with good.
Morris is 3-point specialist with some ISO game in mid-range.
Good role player for contender.
Zero use for rebuilding team as Knicks.

why have high character veterans with a solid work ethic around our youngs...they just take minutes away from then

How stupid was it for the Spurs to not tarde David robinson once they drafted Tim duncan, all it did was take away minutes from Duncan, or trade Avery once the grabbed parker.

And Kobe's development was hurt by the signing of eddie jones and the other 6 veterans they signed in his 2nd season.

Love the way Knox has been so good since Morris departure, he's killing it

How stupid was it that you don't know that Duncan played PF.
How stupid is to compare Morris on a one year deal to others.
Love the way Knox is playing without fear and is making more non shooting plays.
Im sorry, You comparing Knox to Kobe? Kobe had no issues with his confidence. Actually it was the opposite.
You do realize the Lakers were pretty good by the time Kobe was 21.

We signed Miles Plumlee to a 3-4 year contract instead of Wood. The only way you can check a prospect is to look back 3-5 years especially 2 rounders. It’s going to cost well over 10 mm to sign woods/- think about what we gave Portis Gibson et al. If u look at the Pistons. How do they not pay a 6-11 athletic F who plays both sides and can hit 3s

I honestly had forgotten Plumlee ever existed!

Wood has looked like a star in the 12 games since Detroit moved him into the starting lineup. The highs include a career-best 30 points and 11 rebounds against the Jazz and 29 points on 16 shots against the Thunder. Even the lows have been pretty good. Wood has been incredibly consistent, scoring at least 20 points eight times and scoring less than 17 only once. He has grabbed at least eight rebounds in every game.

It all adds up to an eye-popping stat line: 22.0 points on 54.0 percent shooting overall, including 37.3 percent from 3, 10.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 0.7 steals.

What he’s doing should not be possible. Wood, like Jeremy Lin, came into the league as an undrafted free agent. But Lin was only on his second NBA team when he became an unlikely folk hero. Wood, at 24, is on his fifth in four seasons. He has bounced around the league for so long that he was part of the original Process in Philadelphia. From there, he had stops in Charlotte, Milwaukee, and New Orleans. Nothing has ever been handed to him. Wood had to win a training camp battle in Detroit with Joe Johnson, who was fresh off winning MVP of the Big3, just to make the roster this season.

Bit of a fluff piece (they pretty much completely ignore the complaints about his behaviour/attitude in the past), but worth reading
