The saga of Marcus Morris’ free agency was so strange that it almost had to have ended with him signing with the Knicks.
Morris turned down $41 million for three years with the Clippers before agreeing to two years and $20 million with the Spurs. He then went back on that and signed in New York for … one year and $15 million. This is what you might call an unorthodox strategy.
It was speculated that Rich Paul, Morris’ now-former agent, held responsibility for the first of those non-moves in an effort to appease LeBron James.
