Or is "The 'Stache" just an all around bust who is simply a warm body for training camp purposes?
Is there any upside/potential in Adam Morrison whatsoever?

If the Blazers (Terry Stotts and staff) are serious about being a good three-point shooting team, it can't hurt to have a three-point specialist available off the bench. He could be the guy who either pushes Luke Babbitt to be the sharpshooter off the bench, or who takes that job from him, once and for all.
I'm all for giving Morrison a chance. I think he's a good player - he was just never worth a lottery pick.

Yeah, seems to me he can pass, and shoot ok, I could see JJ at the 5 and Morrison at the three or four in some situations. spread the floor a bit...

Who knows? I think the Blazers will be trying to determine that during training camp. He has a non guaranteed contract so why not give him a look?

I think the oil slick from Morrison's hair has the potential to make the salmon in the Columbia taste funny enough so the sea lions won't eat so many of them...

Oh yeah, and why not hire that old guy who can hit thousands of free throws in a row just in case we're up big and the other team keeps fouling us in the fourth. Because basically all you need is one talent to be useful.

Why exactly would other teams foul the old guy that can hit free throws?

It's cute that you're still standing up for Ammo after he broke your heart so.

Yeah, I think people have him confused with JJ Redick (still). Ammo was never really a 3-point shooter.

That constitutes sticking up for Ammo?
Uhhhh, okayyyyy.
Anyways, weren't you the one that was posting video's of Morrison playing overseas just last year?

I think the ball has to be in his hands a lot more than NBA teams have wanted to let it. It's also not clear if he should have been a SF or SG.

I see no value in Morrison at all. He's not athletic, an over rated shooter... My guess is that someone associated with the team owes him or his agent a favor and this is it.

He's completely undeserving of a training camp invite....

He certainly has value on THIS TEAM in THIS MARKET. It won't take much for him to be a local phenom. One or two memorable moments and Olshey will be castrated for cutting/dealing AMMO. Olshey may be best served to avoid the situation all together.
Speaking of Olshey, I saw him at the Oregon Zoo on Saturday.

He's never been consistent looks though.
Because he's white and has long hair?

After his injury in 2nd year in Charlotte he's never been given a fair shake. I think an offensive minded coach like Stotts can find a role for him.
I think he'll give us meaningful minutes this year at the very least.

I don't think that's why he saw Olshey at the zoo.

Now I know you're a troll. NOBODY actually believes this guy can play.
Now be truthful- are you Mixim returned?

We always need shooters, but can he move enough to guard someone. From what I can see we have multiple "back up" players at the 3. But none of which can guard a quick attacking SF. I guess Wes will have to fill that role because between Morrison, Claver, Babbitt, Jefferies (Who is listed at a SF but I assume will play PF-C) and Pavlovic (who is 6'8" but listed at a SG), I am not sure who will get meaningful minutes.
Actually I can make a guess and that will be Claver.
