Rockets Interested in Morris?

I like Terrence Jones but the price is high. Brewer is not needed. We should play Warren and Booker. We can try to sign Jones next year and look for better deals for Keef now.

Yes, Morey is a smart guy and his thinking may be: if he gives the more versatile PF with higher upside than the Suns should take Brewer's heavy contract as well.

If the Suns won't find a better trade for Morris till 15th of January (I'm afraid they won't), they will take this offer, IMO.

Yea but that makes no sense. Morey has two options, either trade Jones now and take whatever he can get for him or watch Jones walk as a free agent after the season.

Unlike Kieff who is locked into a team friendly 4 year contract, Jones is gonna get offered a contract that Houston can't match in the off season. Rockets don't have much leverage.

Not a guarantee, remember Bledsoe thought he was going to get some team to max him out, ended up being PHX outbidding themselves but other teams were reluctant to offer him a max contract. Maybe they felt PHX would match any offer but make they could have made PHX match a max offer but teams weren't willing to take that chance PHX was bluffing.

It's going to be different this summer. There is going to be a lot more money out there.

I wish the Suns could move Knight while they're at it. Bledsoe is looking good, but the pairing of Bledsoe and Knight has no future.

I never believed they ever thought there was a long term future. They couldn't have been that stupid. I still think it was a test to see who they wanted long term and the other was always going to get traded at some point bringing some value back.

On the other hand, I do believe they thought it would be long term. And that they did not anticipate the effect on the rest of the team playing without a skilled Point Guard and a skilled Shooting Guard. Downgrading two positions.

They have gone through too many combinations of neither to expect it to be temporary. A classic case of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. We've seen the continuing result.

And a rookie General Manager found a rookie Head Coach to not challenge it.

I'd be alright with Terrence Jones and Brewer for Morris and Tucker. I've had enough of them. I think Jones will fit in very well with Len and Chandler. Leuer and Tele can get 10 minutes each. Brewer can start until Warren regains his form. Goodwin can also play some small forward.

I thought the same thing initially about the Bledsoe/ Knight backcourt. However, it's getting harder to read the Suns FO. I thought if the Suns got off to a bad start, Hornacek wouldn't last 20 games. It's looking more and more like the Suns are not committed to making the playoffs this season.
