The Spurs free agency could unravel. Marcus Morris, who agreed to sign for the mid-level exception, is now reconsidering his decision after getting a better offer from the Knicks.
The news came as a shock to fans, but Morris has been reportedly mulling things over for a few days, even refusing to show up for a physical. While the Spurs are said to be confident they’ll get him, the Knicks are clearly a real threat, so let’s try to untangle this mess.
The only reason why the Knicks now have the cap space to offer Morris a one-year, $15 million contract is because their first target at the wing, Reggie Bullock, might not be healthy enough to play the majority of next season.
