Verbal contract agreements are rarely broken in the NBA with interesting cases like the DeAndre Jordan saga popping up in recent years. Once the Woj tweet it out to the public, deals are thought to be as good as done with the player and team’s word taken as fact. The latest team to deal with a faulty verbal agreement is the San Antonio Spurs, who were dumped for a more lucrative suitor by forward Marcus Morris earlier in the month.
San Antonio suffered because of the negligence of Klutch Sports front man Rich Paul, a close personal friend of LeBron James and the agent set to negotiate Dejounte Murray’s looming contract extension.
