Who would you rather trade brooks or Morrow?

Top notch shooter who has some chemistry with Dwill but is unathletic and a liability on defense or a promising rookie who has a knack for scoring but has yet to establish what can be counted on long term (given the broken toe isnt his rookie wall). Personally, I’d stay with either. I would cry if they both left us.

i couldn’t be happier if they wanted morrow instead of marshon

I think we keeps morrow brooks is the better player but I think morrow fits better. We won’t need MarShon to iso like he does now for us with Howard. Also we all know morrow is a great shooter and his looks will be even more open with dhoward in the post

a specialist like Morrow is harder to find, and on a team with Deron and Dwight Howard, you will need the specialist, best in the league, 3 point shooter more than another scorer/slasher.

Morrow is the better fit with a Deron/Howard centric team….but love Brooks. Morrow is also VERY clutch, and has proven that, another big plus.

brooks all the way, his ceiling is way higher and he’s having a great rookie season so far.easy call

Swag is on a rookie contract (cheap) and shot creators are harder to come by than shooters (because they are usually more expensive). Also, Swag aint bad shooting from deep…

The three most important positions on a championship caliber teams are this:

1. Center (Howard)
2. Point Guard (DWill)
3. Wing (Marshon)

Ammo would go first. Brooks is far more advanced in every aspect of his game outside of 3pt shooting. And even there, he is no slouch from beyond the arch. Brooks >>> Ammo

morrow is good but not great. and he’s been around a few years: he’s not gonna get any better. brooks is pretty much as “good” as morrow (in the sense that they are of about equal value to the team – not that they have the same skill set) and he may get better over the next year or two. so he’s got more upside. and, of equal importance, morrow makes more.

But I wouldnt be all that upset trading him and keeping morrow. I would honestly rather morrow over brooks IF we have dwight, deron, and morrow can get ipen 3’s (which I think will happen if dwight is in town)

Brooks can hit threes, but not the the caliber morrow can. Yes, he is a 1 dimensional player, but in that one dimension he can put up 50 points in a game.

And have Bojan replace him. His 3pt % is like 60%!

If for nothing else, then at least for the fact the we can sign morrow again after next season.. i dont think he’s gonna want to stay in orlando if we’re really only giving them brook okur and picks along with him. Hopefully his close friendships with dwight and deron will outweigh the fact that we included him in a trade

Amo is one of my favorite palyers right now on the team. but honestly i think we have to keep brooks. he has potential to be so much more. he can seriouslly be an all star. amo will just always be a clutch shooter but never on the level that brooks could be i dont think. brooks all around game is better and he just has so much more potential. if we actually loose dwill then brooks will be our franchise palyer and someone we could build around

Never liked Morrow’s game. He’s been doing well with Brooks on the sidelines and that’s a good problem to have. It can only increase his value. I’d rather keep Brooks. This kid looks like NOTHING bothers him. When you find people like him that can step up and play in this city, you try to hold on to them. What I’m going to say is going to spark some controversy but Brooks reminds me of Kobe when he FIRST got in the league. Same body type. Same type of game. This kid’s only going to get better. We can only hope he can become 10% of the player he is. He’s a better all around player than Morrow is right now and he seems like he can do more to help this team win than Morrow. Even with a guy like Brook in the lineup, there were days Morrow couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean. When he’s not knocking down threes, he gives you nothing. I see he TRIES to take the ball to the hole more now but it’s not his game. Either way, between him and Brooks, Orlando will be talking once Lopez proves he’s healthy.

However, I don’t think the Magic will want Morrow because they already have a gunner in Riddick

The thing about Howard and D-Will is that their games aren’t predicated on scoring points. Howard is a stalwart and D-Will runs the O, but a wing scorer is still needed. Even though Brooks is a ball-stopper, you need a guy other than Deron who creates his own shot. If we were getting a guy like Melo, I would say Morrow fits better because you don’t really want a ball-dominant wing playing with Melo, but with guys like D-Will and Howard, you have 2 stars who open the game up and don’t require ball-dominance. Not to mention, Brooks is 3 and a half years younger, under team control for at least 3 more years after this one + RFA status, and has higher defensive upside with his insane wingspan. And born in NJ!

That said, the Magic are going to demand MarShon well before they want Morrow.

why would the magic want morrow. They have too many wings that shoot threes.

Dwill//Farmar/Gaines
Bogans/JR Smith/Stevenson
Hedu/Shawne
Hump/Jwill
D12/Candace

Easily keep brooks over morrow because brooks has no ceiling in his potential and we have seen flashes of him being a knockdown shooter. We have heard that Dwight wants morrow, but there is no way that having brooks over morrow can be a deal breaker.

Sure I’d pick Brooks but it won’t matter. If we can keep this lineup I think we’ll have a chance to make some noise this year.

D-Will/Arenas
Morrow/Stevenson
Hedo/Shawne Williams
Hump/Jordan Williams
Dwight/Shedlon WIlliams

I think Arenas would sign once the trade is done, it seems like he’s waiting for that. Hopefully that crazy knee surgery worked for him like it did for Kobe and we could have a healthy Arenas. I think the only way to keep Hump is lose Farmar and I want Hump more even though Farmar has been beasting.

That team has upset potential.

But with morrow an turk starting, we still lack a guy who can really attack the lane and get to the line. This may be something to address in free agency. Dwill can do this but we will need more aggression.

His rookie contract has several more years on it and if he does become a star i am sure that billy could work the cap in a way to keep him. But if he becomes a star, we would have him for at least one or two years. Morrow is a liability at the defensive end and going to the basket, as Brooks can shoot and drive, while he needs to improve defensively

The beauty of Morrow shooting well is that you can include him and Farmar in a deal. If I’m the Magic I take Lopez and his 22 and 7 rebounds and a #1 pick in a deep draft, future pick, and Farmer, and Morrow/possibly expiring contract guys we signed who also can just shoot. I’d trade a guy like Farmer to the Knicks for a pick and I’d trade Morrow to another playoff team for a pick.

Morrow is really best suited for a veteran team that is ready made and just needs that extra shooter. Teams that already have their point guard, big man and shot creating wing that is essential to any championship team. MarShon has shown more ability to confidently make difficult shots all over the court look routine that some star wings take years to develop and most never do. In fact he seems to like shooting with a man in his face, which shows how important he’s going to be when we are a playoff team and the ball goes to him just above the top of the key with six seconds left and he’s guarded and dribbles closer to make a higher percentage shot(Morrow not so much of a dribbler) and wins us the game. Plus, Brooklyn is a guard city. Mark my words, MarShon Brooks as a home grown talent will be more popular than our super stars, when they see the voodoo that he doo so well.
