I wonder if there's some plan to play Hayward at the 2, Crowder at the 3, and Morris at the 4 alongside Horford.

Hmm, could be. I'd probably prefer Brown at the 2 with Hayward and Morris at the 3/4, respectively, but for "chemistry" reasons maybe we do go that route.
The Hayward-Thomas backcourt is a non-starter defensively

Avery Bradley = terrific two way player who improves every season

Marcus Morris = undersized medicore PF who doesn't rebound or defend well for his position

nice trade, Danny....

This trade opens up cap room so we could sign Gordon Hayward.

Avery is also an expiring contract. Yes, you'd want a better return, but it'll be hard to find that seeming as AB could be a rental. Marcus Morris is a decent return for what we are trying to do.

Bummed.  Hate to see Bradley go. Morris doesn't excite me a whole lot. 

Were there any picks involved?

Yes, we're apparently also sending them a 2nd rounder
I'm bitter.

I changed my mind and would like to give away Crowder to Utah.

I like this deal better than most of the rumours I had seen previously.

We got a PF on the cheap for the next two years.

yup me too. 

Losing a good player early that was not staying anyway is about as good as expected , since Danny had to do something.

Morris played great against us when he subbed in for his brother in the playoffs vs. Washington, so this move makes sense.

Also, the real loser in this deal is Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

 ;D ;D

what happens when we face Washington again next year?

Well that is a bit sad. I guess Avery made a better choice than Crowder because Crowder is under contract for a few more years. Help balance the books with quality depth moving forward.

I hope Jaylen or Smart starts at SG next year. Let Hayward stay at SF.

Use Crowder as a 6th man.

Yes, for sure. I'd love to see Jaylen earn the starting role, but Smart might start the season there.

Horford / Theis / Zizic
Morris / Crowder / Yabu
Hayward / Tatum / Semi
Smart / Jaylen / Nader
IT / Rozier / Jackson

That team needs more experience on the bench, and an additional big man who can play, but it's a really fun team.

Love the move. Morris will be a perfect fit. He was just in a bad situation in Detroit.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Makes sense to move Bradley.  Good player, good Celtic and next year he's going to make an awful lot of money - just not here.  I think there's another move coming too. They still need a 5.

Marcus Morris : ugggghhhhh 14ppg and 5rpg

And read below from wikipedia ... particularly note pending court date.
On February 26, 2012, after seeing the final Border War basketball match between Kansas and Missouri, Morris and another assailant named Julius K. Harris received battery charges for punching a man that was an employee for a bar and nightclub in Lawrence, Kansas called The Cave. Both Morris and Harris entered a diversion agreement for the battery charge, with Marcus paying a $300 diversion fee and $60 for court case fees, as well as agreeing not to come in contact with both the victim and The Cave for an entire year.[28]

On January 24, 2015, both Marcus and Markieff Morris found themselves involved with two aggravated assault cases as five different men (including the twins and former Baltimore Ravens safety Gerald Bowman) allegedly assaulted a 36-year-old man named Eric Hood outside of the Nina Mason Pulliam Recreation Center in Phoenix, Arizona.[29] Hood had previously mentored the Morris twins from high school until the end of their college careers, while the brothers wound up beating Hood up for "sending an inappropriate text message" to their mother. While the case against the Morris brothers was first set up on August 3, 2015;[30] the trial for the twins is still ongoing for the latest court date being settled on August 21, 2017, thanks to his twin brother playing in the NBA playoffs on the original court date of April 28.[31][32] The incident was not only considered a catalyst for the Suns trading Marcus to the Pistons on July 9, 2015;[33] but it was also one of the reasons why the Suns eventually traded his twin brother to the Washington Wizards over eight months later on February 18, 2016.[34]

We got a Morris twin  :o
Hey, look, another SF. Having just 4 is obviously not enough. Ugh.

This trade doesn't work as mentioned, either on real GM trade checker or on Espn Trade machine

Morris' Salary is 5 Million, Bradley is 8.8 million. We need to receive more salary back

nice trade, Danny....

Avery = pending free agent with injury concerns at a deep position

Morris = on a bargain contract; has missed six games total the past four seasons

I'll miss AB, but something like this had to happen.

Roy I love when you talk logic here makes me feel better about the blog! TP
