This Morris situation is annoying as shyt at a time where collecting assets should be number one priority, not this thinly veiled attempt at showing OUTSIDE players the organization can be loyal. Star FAs aren't running to New York to play with Mook and he's not ultimately going to be a difference maker for this team, whereas additional picks, combined with other assets can be.
You have Gibson, Portis, Knox, Iggy, Morris, Randle and now conceivably Wooten for the rest of the year. Taj and Portis will likely be gone next year, Randle is locked in for another year, Knox, Iggy and Wooten in the wings and Morris is a flight risk. That could leave us from having these 7 this year to having 4 of them next year and nothing to really show of it because you're not taking the time to develop 3/4 of the remaining 4.
He's been awesome here. Now go.
Trade him, get a late 1st round pick, use that pick and other assets (DSJ, Trier, Dallas picks) to move Randle to try to get a second pick in the lottery, develop Knox, Wooten and Iggy as your forwards for the future.
I'd kill to see -
Mitch/Wiseman
Wooten/Knox
Knox/Iggy/Barrett
Barrett/Dotson/Frank
Edwards, Ball, Cole, Manion or Haliburton/Frank
As our 9 man rotation, keep Bullock and old head role playing vets for spot duty as needed.
Run with the youngins, let them get their lumps and go from there.
