I mean he might be a dick, but he can still score as a 4th option quite consistently. Are you saying full-stop you don't ever want Morris? As a hypothetical, what if he was given as a salary dump?
I understand the vitriol for him. He went out of his way to try and injure Luka, and he (along with his brother) is as dirty as it gets for a basketball player. BUT we've been wanting that kind of player for a while. Pat Bev being a noted target on the board when he was a free agent.
His individual defense is average but he fits very well within a scheme. There's a reason why Ty Lue plays him 40+ mins in the playoffs. Can Maxi even play multiple games at 40+ mins?
