John Raffo of ClipsNation.com reacts to the Portland Trail Blazers inviting free agent forward Adam Morrison to training camp. Morrison started on the Los Angeles Clippers' 2012 Las Vegas Summer League team.
-------------------------------
There were quite a few people around here who wanted the Clips to sign Adam Morrison back in July after his hot summer league performance. Hearts swelled as my colleague LJ Hann brashly sub-titled his Adam Morrison love letter, "Pay the Man". (That thread garnered 400 comments... a remarkable feat in the middle of the NBA winter.)
Of course "AmMo" was inarguably on fire in July, as he led the Clippers in scoring with 20 points a game, shooting 55% from the field and a torrid 62% from the 3 point line. Of course, it was July, which isn't a month where professional basketball matters much. The subsequent lack of interest in Morrison is a perfect illustration of how little NBA teams value summer league.
