Morris did the Spurs so dirty, Klutch dropped him like a bad habit.
The Spurs won’t do anything overt, but look for this to go down to the last hours of the buyout deadline so he loses game shape.
Respectfully, I really hope they with this on his way out. We are always the nice organization but you getting pennies on the dollar now you fassy. You went from an inflated 20/10 on a trash Knick team to absolute trash in 4 years.

Doughie is off to an 0-5 start in two Pacer games.
Did Pop order a Doughie tribute video? Or will that be coming up when Pacers visit Spurs?
Indy is going to regret getting him. Very risky trading with the Spurs.
You're going to get burned trading with the Spurs. They have a team full of trash players and only part with the ones they have no use for and at a higher value cost than what they are worth.
Boston with the White trade is the only team that did well getting a valuable asset trading with the Spurs recently.
Every NBA GM should not even talk with the Spurs. They are like the fantasy team in your league you know to stay away from because you're never going to get a good offer from them.
Pretty sure Toronto was happy with their return getting Leonard and Green for Poeltl, a late first, and a guy they were ready to salary dump anyways in DeRozan.
Put some respekt on DDR's name! Easily a top 200 Spur of all-time.
At last, some excitment this season. I hope they mess up with him, not for basic retaliation but for karma. And the respect of the franchise.
Well, Morris is still here.
My guess about his situation is:
Morris has about $6M left on his contract and he would receive about $1M if he signs a min contract with another team.
Morris wants to be waived to receive $6M + $1M.
Spurs are offering him a $5M buyout and telling him he would recoup the lost money with his new contract.
In theory, Spurs have the upper hand. Morris is the one facing the deadline to be playoffs eligible at the end of the month. Spurs could play hard ball on this one and say "it's $5M or we will keep you after the deadline". The issue with doing that is that Spurs could hurt its relationship with Morris' agency. While Spurs shouldn't care and even might enjoy screwing Morris, creating a bad relationship with an agent/agency could bite them in the ass down the road.
Spurs don't play hardball
If pressed, they'll rollover and give in because "that's who we are"
That sounds like a reasonable scenario, one that I don't think should hurt team relationships with Morris' agency. If the Spurs are offering him a way to bolster his chances to earn a bigger paycheck by going to a playoff team, while not losing money (by covering the difference between his current salary and what he'd make) then it's on him if he passes, and the Spurs shouldn't be afraid of standing on their ground because it's a fair win-win offer. I'd even say they'd be hurting themselves in any future negotiations if they cave in, why would anyone concede anything if they have the expectation they'll eventually get away with anything they ask?
And that''s how you end up with Zach Collins' contract.
You can’t double dip. He would only be able to collect his contract, minus his new minimum contract.
Totally forgot about that he's still with the team. i honestly dont think he cares whether hes on a playoff team this season.
Fine. Wait day after the deadline, and waive him.
I rather Spurs wait the last minute and Morris missing on playoff
I can show you far worst contract per production than Zach’s….

Which one of yall made this? Lmao
That’s a very Pro Morris screed, and I just don’t see that on this board. He’s pretty reviled here. Markief probably set it up.
The Spurs have generated enough goodwill that this one player-specific situation would not do any real damage. Everyone in the league knows that Morris did the Spurs dirty. Bad enough that Klutch dropped him as a client— a very unusual step indicating just how bad his behavior was. I think ultimately the Spurs act like pussies and waive him right before the deadline, but if they nutted up and got a little well-deserved payback no one in the league would see it as anything but the unique situation it is and Morris doesn’t have the stature league wide or even within his own agency to impact that.
Hilarious
I repeat this clown!!!
I think the Spurs should just be the bigger person (organization) and show the league that it’s not like them to hold grudges.. let bygones be bygones… or not![]()
No ticket, no laundry. He should have to give up some money in a buyout or he can stay home for the rest of the season.
Just offer him a $1 buyout now if he wants to play he'll take it n move on
