Does that make sense? So then, enter the Raptors. I mean we could use another big body until Gasol comes back. Second, we get to the conjecture. To be the champs you got to beat the champs. While Markieff is likely removed from his defensive heyday — part of the reason he’s bounced around as of late — there’s still utility to be found in a forward known as a rugged tough guy who can shoot from three. He has one more shot and coming back early from an ACL would be incredibly risky. And you can expect the Toronto Raptors to be very involved in the action. How worried should we be about Masai Ujiri leaving Toronto? https://t.co/iSIFzCy62F, Report: Morris agrees to buyout with Pistons, Raptors have “expressed interest”. (It’s why guys like Chris Boucher and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson have played a lot and then not at all — there are only so many frontcourt minutes to go around.)

Markieff Morris plans to sign with Lakers, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Just FYI: Raptors assistant Nate Bjorkgren interviewed to be Pacers head coach. He’s also shooting 45 percent from the field, a career-high 40 percent from three on a career-high number of attempts (4.3) per game, and 77 percent from the free throw line. After reevaluating the market, who remains an option? My bet is on the latter — Morris is nothing if not still confident in his ability to get into the game, any game — which suggets his favouring of the Lakers makes some sense. The Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as a frontrunner to sign Markieff Morris, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Nevertheless, Markieff has averaged 22.5 minutes per game, putting up 11.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists.

If he does get healthy for the playoffs, then Cousins could get a lot of looks from various teams.

While the Feb. 7 NBA trade deadline is now in the rearview, the buyout season is only beginning to heat up. Raps sign him and release Malcolm Miller. I don’t think we need a Morris twin on our team. Ya cousins wont play this year, unless he's really dumb. According to the usual rumour mill, the Raptors may be in the game for recently bought out forward Markieff Morris. The guy can ball and is entertaining. Sets up Markieff vs. Marcus Morris in Los Angeles. Morris is a 30-year-old power forward listed at 6’8” and 245 pounds. Pistons forward Markieff Morris has agreed to a contract buyout, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Presumably Marc Gasol gets healthy and is the team’s starter. It’s why his name has been connected to our favourite squad in years past. By the 2018-19 season however, Markieff had been traded to the Thunder for a second round pick before free agency while his brother was signing a big money deal (relatively speaking) with the Knicks after a couple of strong seasons in Boston. Toronto has also expressed interest in Morris. Yeah that Morris sort of sucks now. Should we be worried? All we can do now is wait and see. I think his next stop will be in China somewhere.

Player Review: Is Rondae Hollis-Jefferson here to stay? We need a backup big incase Gasol or Ibaka get hurt. This scoop comes to us from the Athletic’s Shams Charania, who tweeted the following: Pistons forward Markieff Morris has agreed to a contract buyout, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. He already came back to early twice before and look what happened. Fred VanVleet is facing an important offseason, but before we get there, let’s look back at his 2019-20 performance.

Can he make another and become a rotation player for Toronto? This point has been made elsewhere but Toronto could use a couple of types of players as they march towards the playoffs. After his end-of-season press conference, there remained an air of mystery around the fate of Masai in Toronto. Matthew Dellavedova for the insurance guard? Let’s review. After a quiet trade deadline, the Toronto Raptors seek an alternate method to improve their roster.

Apparently Morris is signing with the Lakers. Player Review: Cheers to Fred VanVleet’s career year. After spending time with the Raptors 905, Paul Watson Jr. made the leap to fringe NBA player. From there, Markieff briefly looked to be the better of the twins. And of course, Pascal Siakam will see heavy minutes at power forward. I don't see the benefit. This part is trickier. I don't see the benefit. As predicted, the Lakers did indeed get their man. Why has nobody signed Jamal Crawford yet? This page was generated at 03:41 PM. The team is currently 19-39 and in the midst of being stripped for parts though, so this is not entirely a badge of honour. A lot of what Morris theoretically brings to the table for Toronto is covered (and then some) by those three names, which means there are not a lot of minutes likely to come his way.
