I’d be all about it if we do in fact trade Morris to a team with space or a TPE. I like what Morris brings to the Cs, but his impact and Deng’s projected impact probably don’t differ all that much, if healthy. And if not healthy, well, we aren’t winning the championship. Getting under the tax remains one of my biggest concerns and I don’t even know why!! 
I think Morris' impact would be huge compared to Deng. There will be 5-6 games, some of them important ones, where Moriis will give you 25 plus points and be the reason the Celtics win. There is no way Deng can do that anymore.
you are basing this off of one season, an injury-plagued stretch ample with minutes for forwards. It is hardly likely Morris will see enough minutes with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown more deserving. Insurance is one thing but too much fat can kill a man. Makes no sense to keep him beyond a certain point if it costs the team one season in the future.
Not for nothing, but as of right now Morris is the first 3/4 off the bench for this team. He won't play 30 minutes a night for them, but they aren't going to struggle to find time for him either.
That's true but misleading. Our top 5 has 4 of players that can comfortably play those positions. With that kind of flexibility and with those players needing more shots, Morris is really competing against all of the second unit guys for time and shots. They could easily settle into a rotation without him.
Last year there was a clear 2nd unit primary scoring role for Morris. Tatum, Brown, Kyrie and Hayward are all guys who want to take turns as primary options. The best way to do that is to spread the minutes so one or two of those guys is always on the floor.
