Adam Morrison to Spurs Makes a Lot of Sense

With James Jones off to Miami to chase a ring, the San Antonio Spurs are left even more vulnerable in looking for a small forward.  Richard Jefferson and Spurs Brass are still playing yo-yo with whether or not either want the other.  Spurs need talent at the 3 but don’t want to lock up a guy that doesn’t fit in the system.  Jefferson doesn’t want to be on the Spurs but still wants to get paid and nobody else really wants him.  Match made in hell right there.

With the Spurs front office increasingly growing senile, I’d like to toss out a bit of common sense.  How about a former lottery pick that is long, can score in bunches, works hard, has good character, and can shoot for a high percentage?  Damn, just sign Adam Morrison already.

He won’t cost a lot.  He has a great chance of fitting in the system.  He’d love to get playing time.  And best of all, you can tell Richard Jefferson to go take a long walk off a short pier.  He can go to that team he’s looking for, you know the one that only runs alley oops and doesn’t play defense.  Note to RJ: You better start wanting to adapt your game because pretty soon you’re going to lose another chunk off your vertical.

Anyways, San Antonio Blog says go get Adam Morrison for $1-$2 million a year and bring some excitement to the Alamo City.  He was damn good in college and led his team.  Kobe Bryant recently offered that he was really talented when the Jimmy Kimmel show made fun of him.  Morrison loves basketball and works his ass off.  He’s got talent.  Someone give him a damn chance and see what he can do with real playing time.

If anything Spurs, don’t play the we’re too good for you card.  My gosh, you gave actual playing time to Roger Mason Jr. and Keith Bogans.  Let’s be real here.  You have no business turning your nose to any date to the prom at this point.

Give former Gonzaga* star (*credit Jeff for the catch – I had put Stanford) and lottery pick, Adam Morrison a chance.  Its a low risk, high reward type of deal.  That plays out a lot better than trying to fit a square peg in a round whole with Richard Jefferson.
