Too bad this all happened when it did. I feel like if we still had Morris’ cap hold that New York is actually in a position to potentially want to do a S&T for a late first.

I think he would be better at the Spurs honestly unless they’re giving him more money and a chance to be the No1 option at the Knicks.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Sounds like Reggie Bullock isn't healthy so his deal is being reworked which I assume will free up more money for Morris.

I just saw that it's $15mil for one year instead of $20mil for two.  Not 100% sure that's accurate.

I wouldn't mind Morris back.

We have no power forward.

Very odd.  I guess they've got to spend money on somebody to get to the minimum, so it's not a bad idea to sign a guy to a one year expiring as a potential trade chip.

I'd hate to see him playing for that clown organization, though.

They have the same fascination with power forwards that Ainge has with guards and small forwards.

I guess they could play Morris at SF.

I don’t understand why teams outside the lakers waste time and resources on Klutch clients.

This backing off a deal to make a million or two after tax more is just not the way you do business in this league.
There have to be some repercussions for rich Paul and Morris .
The spurs traded a useful player for nothing and gave more $$$ to carrol then originally agreed

This will be a bad look for Morris.

Spurs made moves (including a trade) to actually make it feasible to sign Morris and he had agreed with them.

Four very tough guys.  If you can't be a good team, be a tough team!  Break some faces!  Just don't break each other's!

That and he actually has a chance of winning with the Spurs verses the Knicks.   If he changes his mind you know where his head is at.
