Former New Jersey Nets guard Anthony Morrow left the team this summer in the trade that helped the Nets acquire Joe Johnson. But does he miss it?
Considering some of the tweets Morrow has retweeted tonight — many from Nets fans, assuredly missing some of Morrow’s patented outside shooting — it seems like he’s both a bit disgruntled with his lack of playing time in Atlanta, and welcoming of praise from Nets fans who’d like to see him in black & white.
Here’s a smattering of some of Morrow’s RT’s tonight:
@mranthonymorrow @hooprecruiter same thing I wondered tonight why he aint getting no playing time. It’s crazy.

I miss @mranthonymorrow being on the #Nets. One of the greatest pure shooters and a class act.

Though Morrow only retweeted these — and retweets, famously, are not endorsements — it seems clear that he, like many Nets fans, are pining for a reconnection.
Morrow is an unrestricted free agent after this season. UPDATE: Morrow has responded on his own Twitter account:
Still love all you fans out there that’s all
