He does have two more rings than LeBron...

Gabe Pruitt's got more too.  ;)

No. I can sit on the bench, wave a towel and look good in a suit for cheaper. Plus I'd blog with you guys. That's it, Rebus for 15th man.

Possibly for a 10 day contract toward the end of the season.

Not even for the vet minimum. He'd be taking up a roster spot from someone who can actually help this team either now or in the future.

Signing players for the sake of signing players doesn't help us.

If anything, bring back Scal instead.

Before, people wanted to sign Darko.  Now, someone is asking about Adam Morrison.

What is it with people's obsessions about.....high profile draft busts.  Heh, you thought I was gonna say white guys.

I had to see him when I went to Bobcats games. I don't ever want to see him again.

Before the entire blog trashes the guy, I should remind everyone that it wasn't his fault that he got hurt before he could develop. There is still a chance he might develop as he scored a zillion different ways in college despite the defense focusing on him. Not many guys had the all around game that he did. I was never a giant fan of us but the fact that he could score so many different ways was impressive and I remember him being effective going down the lane with no fear because he had such good control of his body. I always thought he was a risk because of the type 1 diabetes (it runs in my family and the risks are high even with an athlete). However he didn't have insignificant skill. He just got hurt early in his career and then got stuck behind some good players.

I suppose at the minimum I couldn't hate him if he was the 5th or 6th wing.  However, if we bring him in as the 3rd or 4th wing, we're likely in a world of trouble. 

And honestly, with no disrespect to the OP, of all the players' names that have been batted around the past month or so, he's probably the last one I'd choose.

He got enough playing time before he got hurt and sucked profoundly.

Wasn't this guy a former number 3 pick? I find it hard to believe that he's that bad....

Shelden (a former Number 5 pick)looked like a Horse for us that first month of 09-10 regular season..then as we got our players back, his production slipped.

Is AMMO (What they call him over at SS & R) this bad? A former number 3 pick? Could he need a change of scenery? (I know - coming to Boston would be like his 4th or 5th change of scenery, but hey why not?)

On the one hand, he was on LA last year, so he has a bad, bad case of Laker taint.  On the other hand, it would really kill Laker fans if Morrison was actually useful in Boston.

It would be his second change of scenery, BTW.  Drafted by Charlotte and traded to LA with Shannon Brown for Vladimir Radmanovic.

A younger Scal with better scoring potential and better shape, perhaps?

I know it sounds nuts and most likely won’t work but would you consider taking a flyer on Adam Morrison? We certainly need help at the wing. Maybe worth a shot?

No. Hell No!
