Why Knicks may keep Marcus Morris in trade deadline surprise

Error 0:

MILWAUKEE — Marcus Morris will miss his fifth straight game Tuesday against the Bucks with a neck injury, but the veteran may have plenty of time in a Knicks’ uniform to make up for it despite the Feb. 6 trade deadline approaching.

According to an NBA source, some members of the front office are leaning toward holding onto Morris at the deadline — unless they get back a star-type player in a large package.

The source said a minor Morris deal that would net a late first-round pick and force them to take on a non-expiring contract is not an attractive option at this juncture.
