Woj: Marcus Morris Reneging on Agreement with Spurs?

[LkrFan]

Yeah now losing Bertans for nothing really sucks. Who's Morris' agent?

LeKlutch

[John B]

I guess Ewwwbanks is in??

Gross.

[FkLA]

Is this going to be your shtick for the next decade, tbh?

He's not going to be here for a decade if he remains a Klutch athlete after this bull .

3 years 33 partially guaranteed

He can go back into the FA market in 2021 2022 makes no difference

Savey?

I didn't think you had to be given a refresher on 3rd-grade math, but apparently, you do.

What year he goes on the FA market makes a HUGE difference, dumb ass. Next year, there's almost no one available. Good pickings for middle of the road guys like Morris.

Gonna be damn awkward if he ends up signing with the Spurs after all. You can't leave something like this unaddressed, but what is he going to do to try and save face?

eh, he can just throw the media under the bus

Its not looking likely he didnt even show up for his physical and is being offered more money

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Adam Silver needs to step in and do his job. This is getting out of control. There is zero professionalism in the NBA.

[MoSpur02]

Can Morris financial advisor let him know that Texas has no state tax.....The state tax in NY and cost of living will eat up that extra 5 mill! Okay maybe not but just thinking out loud lol

You think this idiot has a financial advisor?

[RD2191]

Spurms fans. This is what you salty gots get. Karma this and karma that for Kawhi, looks like the Karma is coming the Spurs way. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Spurs da champs]

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Isn't this the kind of thing that the Commission should step in? I doubt much can be done about Morris/Klutch, but the Knicks behavior is pretty horrible, too, isn't it?

If Morris doesn't sign I think the Spurs have a shot legally to at least fight for the exception in dealing Bertans. There is plausible damage there. But I don't think the Spurs will pursue something like that.

[anon]

Rich Paul just tattooed a " . Use at your pleasure" sign on Buford's forehead if Spurs fail to consummate this deal. Blow it all up.

Savage af

[bluebellmaniac]

Rich Paul ... Klutch Sports

They also represent Dejounte.

em all. Blackball them and let it be known that they will never get another deal with this team. With whatever pull Pop has with his coaching tree, have them blackball them too.

There are rules. It's what separates us from the animals.

[spurraider21]

this is the problem with somebody like rich paul having this much power. usually agents are attorneys who are professional and well versed. rich paul is an amateur who fell into the role as lebron's agent and picked up form there

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Spurms fans. This is what you salty gots get. Karma this and karma that for Kawhi, looks like the Karma is coming the Spurs way. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Known for a while you aren't a Spurs fan. Only an idiot could be celebrating over this. If you look at yourself a little bit and read your own comments you will see how ridiculous you sound

replies to this should be good.

[Degoat]

I think things get settled, relax guys.... but if he goes to the Knicks, then deuces

Oh, shut the up.

[Mr. Body]

no, klutch is just doing what their client instructs. the agreement or "promise" was between the spurs and morris. the legal theory would be "promissory estoppel" because the spurs acted to their detriment (trading bertans, adding a 3rd year to carroll's deal) based on reasonable reliance on assurances given by morris. even if those assurances/promises werent in the form of a binding contract, courts could enforce based on the spurs damages.

but yeah, this is all just a mental exercise. dallas went through the same thing with deandre. not the first time this has happened. though i dont know that dallas made any specific roster moves purely because of deandre's commitment, the way spurs did with bertans/carroll

I believe Carlos Boozer's agency dropped him after he broke his word, and what he did wasn't close to this bad. This is a serious breach of what an agency should do.

[Desert Spur]

This is actually ridiculous that a player can do this. Spurs made a specific move to get him and now after agreeing he can just leave. This CBA is a joke

Appears contracts and agreements are worthless these days.

[spurraider21]

i mean, it was one thing when we salary dumped splitter to open up a max slot for aldridge. we didnt do that because aldridge gave us any assurances. they took a calculated risk/gamble and paid off. but we only traded bertans and adjusted carroll's deal after reaching an agreement with morris. total bush-league stuff

[TD 21]

Damned if they do, damnde if they don't. I'm sure they'd love to tell him and his agent to go themselves, but they're screwed at this point if he reneges. If not, they'd they have to kowtow to a role player. Disgusting.

I'd be tempted to go with the former anyway.

[LkrFan]

I was surprised the Spurs were open to him. Look at the tax rates dummy. Lebron is probably behind this.

LeBron is just an NBA player. WTH?
