    They ran the numbers wrong... $15 vs $10 on an annual basis will work out in favor of the $15.
    Material differences in cost of living but you're right still 15 > 10 when it's all said and done.

    How the did the Spurs do anything stupid? They had to trade away Bertans and sign - and - trade for Carrol to make the numbers work. They acted in "good faith" signing Morris to an agreement and got ed over in the last second (when his representation was still shopping his services).

    Just like Ferrell, Bjelica and Jordan before him, Morris and his representation acted unprofessionally in thos situation. Sucks for the Spurs now they need to either trade away more assets (to acquire a similar player) or go looking in the trash heap for another combo forward.
    Like I said, they jumped the gun.

    So, do I have this right? If we want to be done with Klutch we have to showcase Dejounte for half a season and then trade him to ing Siberia?

    Crazy what a lil xtra can do
    An extra 5 million dollars is not a "lil".

    The days of players honoring their word or contract also seem to be gone.

    Maybe he doesn't realize this is the Spurs and not the Suns. Classic Kansas University education.
    No but he decided he deserved more.

    I’m not so attached to Marcus Morris as much as I’m just pissed that Bertans is gone and so are all other free agents of value. All because they thought he’d stay true to his word. Damned Deandre Jordan bull.

    its not the losing out on morris that hurts. its that we gave away bertans and added a 3rd guaranteed year to carroll for nothing
    It's really just losing Bertans as an asset that hurts. Even then, he probably only nets you a 2nd rounder. That 3rd year for Demarre is partially guaranteed and Spurs can move off that easily.

    Frankly, if this moves them to move Forbes/Beli for a Morris type without the baggage and truly frees up rotation minutes for Walker, it isn't that terrible.

    No it didn't. It started with Kobe forcing his way to the Lakers on draft day because he knew he wasn't good enough to elevate a small-market team.

    This "player empowerment era" all started with him getting to collude with the Lakers and then have the media blame the Hornets for it.

    just like PG forcing his way to the clippers cause playoff P can’t win a series with Westbrook?

    I think the Klutch whining is a bit overblown but ..... Pop refused to talk to Arn Tellem for like a decade after Lamond Murray reneged back in 2001. Maybe even longer, tbh.
    Dejounte is going to be in a contract year. If he's not going to talk to any player repped by Klutch better trade him now.

    Tbh, it'd be funny if this starting a ripple of reneging
    That already started after Paul George got traded to the Clips. OKC FO allowed their signings to reconsider.

    Spurs did nothing wrong here. All this means is that Morris’s word isn’t worth . We’ve got young studs we are developing in the periphery. I’m sort of glad Morris revealed his true character before he arrived. The truth is always quicker. It does suck that we made an unnecessary trade, but Bertans was falling out of the rotation anyway. PATFO did nothing wrong here, though I bet this probably frustrates them. Have fun being on a team that can’t even make the playoffs in the much weaker Eastern conference, Marcus.

    You're wrong on this, too. You have a great grasp on what's going on on the court, but you're failing to understand the bigger picture about agencies and verbal contracts. I'm surprised, frankly.

    This is a particularly unethical move by Klutch/Knicks. I wonder if the Spurs will ask the league for some modest draft compensation (from Knicks) as a penalty. The team essentially traded Bertans for Morris and now they're not getting any return, let alone Morris.

    What's cool about Trey Lyles is he promised to go to one university and then pulled out much later. Frankly, avoiding the type of players that go to Kansas or Kentucky is often a good idea.

    This really hurts the Spurs next year

    This also is almost as unprecedented as the Boozer debacle years back with Cleveland. The Knicks should be blackballed by the rest of the 29 owners for pulling this kind of .

    this, this team was about to be a legit contender with the wing defenders and Murray/White/Walker emerging. I think he's gone. It will all come down to for how much the Knicks will sign Bullock. If they indeed have 15 million available Morris is Knicks bound. Clutch already removed the Spurs Morris artwork from their IG and the Spurs shopping around indicates that he won't sign here. Still hope Marcus makes up his mind though

    Or AD forcing his way to the Lakers because Rich Paul and Magic were in his ear telling him to do it. It all goes back to Kobe on draft day.
