Off the Morrow

Spoonful drops morrow, picks up Kleiza

Linas was recently dropped by thenopp, and discussed here. Morrow was picked up by the Spoonful during his 37/11 breakout, as discussed here.

Morrow's stock has fallen quite a bit, as Nellie has given him a couple DNP-CDs and very little PT overall. In fact, after his 37 pointer and his 25 pt follow-up, he hasn't gotten to double digits or shot more than 33% from the field. He doesn't do anything other than shoot 3s, and the arrival of JamsCraw in GS makes that less necessary. Nellie says that he's not playing Morrow because opposition teams have "started to guard him". Chances are they won't stop any time soon. He may have a hot night here and there, but it seems like he won't be a consistent contributor.

Kleiza's situation hasn't changed much, but he is good for 20 minutes and is in line for more minutes should any the Nugs get hurt.

Judgment: Being free from Nellie's gouty whims is delight enough for anyone, and the acquisitions of Posey and Kleiza should make the Spoonful a little more competitive in DREBs and help bolster the 3pt numbers.
