Marcus Morris fatigue is setting in hard. If we’re being honest, it had set in before the season even started, so when you add that baseline level of fatigue that has existed for Morris for the past five years and combine it with his unexpectedly productive production this year, you get a level of soul-weakening fatigue that has only been matched by a few players over the years.
The only thing that sustains me is the thought of all my Marcus Morris highlight videos getting hellacious amounts of views when he gets traded to a contender at the deadline. Imagine how many Lakers fans would be flooding the Internetubes if Morris got traded there. My videos would be littered with comments like “LBJ getting another ring” and “Morris is the perfect piece for our finals run” and “who here because of the trade [laughing-crying emoji]?”.
If Morris ends up staying on the Knicks for the whole season, this whole venture will have been for naught. Knicks fans appreciate him, but they’re not hyped for him in the same way as they are for their other players because he’s thirty years old and he doesn’t fit their timeline (that’s when you charitably define their “timeline” as “making the playoffs within five years”). At that point, my only hope is that he just straight-up signs with the Lakers and my videos get views that way. The Lakers or the Raptors. Please.
