Nets fans message to Billy King: Bring back Anthony Morrow!

We all remember Anthony Morrow, right? Okay so if you don't, he played for the Nets during the last two seasons in New Jersey. In his time in New Jersey, Morrow displayed pure class, enthusiasm, and a three-point stroke that could send you into a daze. He became a fan-favorite almost instantly. His passion for the game was immense. There wasn't a single game that Morrow didn't leave his 110% effort on the court. The Nets endured hard times in New Jersey since 2007. But for Nets fans, Anthony Morrow was that rare kind of player that any team would love to have. His respect for the organization as a whole was endearing.

Nets fans would remember his outstanding performance last season against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a game in which he scored 42 points while nailing eight three-pointers. He displayed his respect for the organization and the late Drazen Petrovic during the three-point contest during the 2012 All-Star Weekend by wearing Drazen's jersey. He was my personal favorite player before that night, but his actions that night solidified his place as MY all-time favorite Net. Many fans feel the same way I do.

In fact, a campaign has already been started on twitter by many Nets fans tweeting the hashtag #BringMorrowToBrooklyn. Anthony Morrow himself endorsed it on his instagram page. But does he fit in with this Nets team as it stands?

The Nets have lacked something all year that Morrow provides for them. A sharpshooter that can play both the shooting guard and small forward position. The Nets are shallow at the small forward behind Gerald Wallace, so adding Morrow to fill in as that scoring back-up small forward. So to answer that question, yes. Anthony Morrow CAN fit on this Nets roster. Now the question is can the Nets afford him? If he takes the veterans minimum, the Nets can bring him in.

Morrow had his struggles last season finding a role with the Atlanta Hawks and the Dallas Mavericks. He got hurt earlier in the season and after that, his minutes took a hit and then he was traded to the Mavericks at the trade deadline. He averaged just four points last season in just nine minutes of playing time per game. The Nets trading him was the worst thing that could happen to him. But if he is offered a contract by Billy King, as he should be, I expect his minutes to jump back up as he would hold a much bigger role with this Nets team that lacks sharpshooters.
