Marco Belinelli plus someone else possibly going to be traded

[cd98]

If the Celtics haven't renounced Morris, the Spurs would need to sign-and-trade Mills most likely to match NY's contract, tbh.

But are the Celtics going to agree to take Patty without a first round pick attached?

Do you want Morris at this point? He's showing his true colors and they ain't good. He's a mercenary who is looking to showcase himself for a deal and is deeply underhanded.

Pop would rather give one of his championships away than to even think about parting ways with Patty

But are the Celtics going to agree to take Patty without a first round pick attached? And if so, is Morris worth losing a first round pick over?

Shut the up. This is so ing tired.

Morris hasn't said anything. And there are reports that he's still contemplating signing with the Spurs regardless of the Knicks offering him 50% more.

I don't hold anything against Morris for now, tbh.

Excuse me, how the wouldn't you hold this against him? He's not a captive. You really think Klutch is pulling out of this without his knowledge or consent? Seriously?

I do. Even if he still signs with the Spurs, he'll have created an awkward dynamic.

Well, the reality is that everyone one of us would take the money if we were in similar shoes. Most middle of the road players go where the money is. This just had the unfortunate timing that put Morris in a position of having to back out of a deal.

I think the Spurs let Korver back out of a deal after he signed. It happens. But the Betrans trade is what makes this so terrible.

Not a big fan of Klutch, but I hardly think they are worried about the difference in cash. It's not that much money. I think it could be player driven.

I'm saying for Morris. And this is really bad for Klutch. An agency needs to maintain its reputation. This move is potentially cataclysmic. I'm not sure anything will happen yet, but right now it's a sudden fault line across the NBA.

So where do The Spurs go from here?

Why would you? If some other employer offered 50% more (especially in a wayyyyyyyyy better city) after you agreed to terms with a company you were interviewing for but didn't start working at, you'd probably at least consider the offer too.


At will employment goes both ways

Even if you know that the company you agreed with fired another employee for you?

This isn’t a parallel. Knicks had perfect information on what was being offered and could have offered more beforehand. I don’t blame Morris any more than blaming the Knicks for breaking an unwritten rule.

[raybies]

Cant give him more than the MLE Spurs are over the cap

If it’s a sign and trade they can... but we’re dealing with Boston here... they probably want an unprotected first or a young player. I’m not sure it’s worth it at this point.

[timtonymanu]

Shut the up. This is so ing tired.

No you stfu diabetic heavy breather. I was clearly just making a joke. Go suck off Marcus Bryant some more.

[RD2191]

Even if you know that the company you agreed with fired another employee for you?

Yes. I'm pretty sure that happens all the time.

[Dverde]

I don’t see how the Knicks didn’t do something illegal. Unless they can prove that Marcus Morris reached our first. What’s to stop another team from saying “I see you reached a deal yesterday for 30 million, we’ll give you 35 million for the same amount of years”. I think the easy solution is for madam Silver to say the Knicks can’t sign him this year and make Morris a free agent and leave it up to Morris and Spurs whether they want to go forward with their deal.

There are consequences. You don't do that to certain companies especially when you know the company had to use a lot of money and move other people around for you. You think that company would ever interview you again? Evidently Spurs are someone they are fine with messing with. This will definitely have a ripple effect.

[Degoat]

Definitely Disappointed if he chooses the Knicks, it does seem like foul play on the Knicks for doing that but what can you do

Nah. Nobody cares about this defection except the Spurs. And the rest of the league rejoices when SA gets screwed.

The two key words were "for" and "now," tbh.

I never thought this thing happens with Spurs PATFO but since nephew and Uncle Dennis, it seems like a one night stand that went ugly

[Degoat]

What doesn’t make sense with all the news we’re hearing is why would belinelli need to be trade for a free agent if we spurs thought Morris might back out of his deal??
