Ainge: Celtics offered Marcus Morris an extension in 2018

On his weekly visit with The SportsHub’s Toucher & Rich, Danny Ainge cleared the air on Marcus Morris’ claim that he did not receive interest from the Celtics to re-sign the eight-year vet:

Danny Ainge just said on @Toucherandrich that he did talk to Marcus Morris after the season, but once Boston was locked in on Kemba Walker, they didn't make an offer. Ainge also said they offered Morris a three-year extension before last year, but Morris chose to play it out.

According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the max extension that Boston could have offered Mook back in 2018 was a three-year, $34.
