:
Blake, who exactly told you Morris was not ready. Did you get a tweet from McHale.
James Anderson of the San Antonio spurs was assigned to the d-league for rehab purposes. While he was rehabbing from a stress fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot.

McHale doesn't have a Twitter, or he probably would've tweeted.
For someone who talks as if you know everything about everything you certainly seem lost at times. Did you watch Morris play AT ALL while in the NBA? Did he look ready to you?
As far as Anderson, he made two stints in the NBA with the Spurs. The initial demotion was for a SF, but after performing terribly went BACK to the D-League(not for rehab this time). When he was then recalled again he spent the majority of his time on the end of the bench.

How exactly was I proven wrong?
Sorry I have other obligations than disproving your theory of being all-knowing.
I don't goggle anything, at times I google though.(as you do with your wikipedia and all that).
Please break it down to me, maybe you will have at least ONE valid point that makes some type of sense.

Andersen went to the d-league to rehab. And you can't compare his stint last year with the stints of ALL the players we have sent to the d-league.
The fact is this, Morey likes to stack up players with "similar" skill sets and talent level at the same position cos he thinks its good for practice, but his plan is yet to work.
Entering last season, Budinger was the predicted starter with McHale to give T-Will another shot after his debacle with Adelman. Our starting lineup lacked defense- Dalembert (ok), scola (terrible), budinger (terrible), martin (terrible), lowry (ok). You can't bench Martin or Scola cos of their scoring contribution. The only position you could change was Budinger. T-Will was the scoring spark off the bench and thought he was too hollywood to play defense. Also, Morey was trying to convert Morris into a sf from his natural PF position. So this opened the way for Parsons and luckily he didn't disappoint. After Parsons took the job due to his defense, Budinger moved to the 6th man position, T-Will got pushed back further and Morris was forgotten.
All cos they played at the same position, if either t-will or morris played different positions, they would have gotten some looks. But who's fault is it for stacking players who were marginally similar talent wise at the same position?

"Also, Morey was trying to convert Morris into a sf from his natural PF position." -So what you're saying is he wasn't ready?
I think what Morey did with the SF drafting Parsons and Morris was great. He took a position where we lacked depth having only Bud and Williams and added two players to it with different skill sets than each other. Bud was known to play no defense(even you agree), T-Will had his issues with coaching(likely on his way out of town), and he went and got two players that would be able to transform the SF position from a weakness into a strength. Morris was picked, and although was the higher of the two picks he didn't have his game ready. When Bud failed Parsons was installed and was able to lock-down opposing players with his defense(and ultimately adequate offense). At the point that Parsons became the starter, T-Will was finished. He was pushed back yet again and we all knew that wasn't going to go over well. This shows GREAT planning by Morey, in that instead of becoming shallow at the SF(when Williams was waived) we had Morris available. Luckily for us, we didn't need Morris as we didn't have any major issues/injuries at the 3.
You may think it's stacking, but with T-Will's antics Morey was simply getting ready for the post-Williams era.

Don't misquote me buddy, if you can read and comprehend what you just read, you will see what i wrote and understand what i wrote."Also, Morey was trying to convert Morris into a sf from his natural PF position." -So what you're saying is he wasn't ready?
Anyone who can honestly say that T-Will lost his spot to Budinger is a huge liar. T-Will was cleanly one of the bright early stories for us last season coming off the bench while Budinger was clearly confused on both ends of the court. Politics and former rep caused T-Will to be stepped on, but no way Budinger earned his spot.At the point that Parsons became the starter, T-Will was finished.
That position is still not locked in with Parsons the new Budinger. He will soon enough come down to earth and Rockets will rue not developing and giving those valuable minutes to Morris. And concerning the position being locked, how many forwards do we currently have on the roster.

There was no misquote, you said he was trying to convert him to a new position. That alone proves he was in transition to becoming the NBA player he was drafted to be from the college player that he was.
Whether Bud earned the spot is irrelevant! T-Will had done NOTHING to prove he deserved to be on the team, Morey was simply getting his team ready for the time when he finally had enough of Williams. The proof is there, don't be blind to it just because you can't live with being wrong.

on the merits of Brooks, Budinger, Landry, and Parsons alone, Id say, "yes, Morey is above average." i would speak conversely about the likes of morris, since i wanted kawhi, but i think morris is still TBD.

Given that we had Yao and McGrady at the time, I think that trade's defensible.
