Niggas done let the Clipps get Morris for a damn Mo Harkless and shit.
Smh. As a long-time Knick fan.. That whole trade was a disgrace.
Lakers/Rob Polinka offered the Knicks/Steve Mills Kyle Kuzma AND Danny Green... for Marcus Morris.
Steve Mills got too damn greedy & insisted on getting 2 second-round draft picks IN ADDITION.
His greed killed the whole deal.
Because he refused to make a simple trade without involving draft picks.
Take Kuzma for Morris... Done.
Send the paperwork before Polinka changes his mind.
No need to involve ANY draft picks.
Even Dallas was willing to be a 3rd-team in the deal & take Danny Green... and his salary... yet Steve Mills STILL fucked it up.
If they had announced that (3-way) trade... Everybody wins.
- The Lakers get a rugged Vet, who can score & shoot 3's... with Playoff experience... to satisfy their 'win now' agenda.
- The Knicks get a dynamic young Player... only in his 3rd year... who is just as good as (if not better than) a BRAND NEW draft pick.
- The Mavericks get a Deep Threat.. who can play defense... hit open 3's... who has 2 rings & a championship pedigree.
There was no need to involve MULTIPLE draft picks in this situation. Just make the simple trade.
And package up draft picks with OTHER Knick players, if need be.
Instead of getting Kuzma (and possibly Green)... we got a benchwarmer + a late first-round draft pick.
Ridiculous.
