SAN ANTONIO — Marcus Morris' time in San Antonio never came to be as he would ultimately renege on his agreement to sign with the Spurs and take his talents to the Knicks.
This coming after the Spurs traded Davis Bertans to Washington and restructured DeMarre Carrol's deal to make cap space for Morris to sign a reported 2-year deal.
Morris did state his move was not a "knock" against the Spurs and remains respectful of San Antonio.
But is there more to why Morris backed out of his verbal agreement with the Spurs?
According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, Morris' former agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, pushed for his former client to stick to signing with the Spurs and had no part in Morris' decision to renege on San Antonio.
Morris’ super-agent, Rich Paul, was not involved directly in Morris breaking his verbal agreement with the Spurs, according to a source, and the Knicks and Morris worked on a new deal together. The source reports Paul preferred Morris stick to his original agreement and the two are headed toward a breakup over the incident.As mentioned, Morris would fire Paul after signing with the Knicks for a reported 1-year deal at $15 million.
In an article from Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, a reason why Morris may have fired Paul was over not being fully informed of the Spurs deal.
Marcus wanted the Knicks contract and took it, reneging on the Spurs because, according to an NBA source, he felt he was not informed properly of the Spurs deal.In the end, the Spurs would pull their offer from Morris and sign forward Trey Lyles.
