Woj: Marcus Morris Reneging on Agreement with Spurs?

[JPB]

if he goes to the knicks i hope he gets hurt and is scrambling for a vet min contract for years

... in Iceland.

[r0drig0lac]

KJ can play PF?

SF - Demar/Keldon
PF - Gay/Carroll

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

I'm just happy we have some clarity on who we need to ship out eventually between Dejounte, DWhite, and Lonnie.

Walker is gone. Spurs showcasing him in the summer league that's why he's taking so many shots. Walker and Beli for ?

[Dennis the Menace]

Would be nice if someone of media clout/clicks would repost Morris’ tweet from 11/17/18 of “Money don’t define the man!”

I could get reneging on a deal for more money AND it’s a playoff contending team, but to the Knicks after just complaining about playing in Boston wasn’t fun and nobody was having fun? Good grief

[toki9]

Perfect opportunity to bring back Zarko.

Wow, that'a deep cut...

Not sure, but you should maybe kill yourself tbh.

[FkLA]

Is Jon Leuer any good? He looks like he sucks but figured I'd ask.

[anon]

I guess the Timberwolves, Mavericks and who ever else this has happened to is "toothless" as well, LOL?

That's two forwards who have or about to rebuke San Antonio's market and culture for a bigger city in three years. From the same draft class too. Do you think Morris preferring Dolan's "culture" will deter more of these incidents in the future? God forbid Murray develops into half what his bullish fans expect him to be. Pop probably smiled to himself when Murray tore his Achilles, lowering the ceiling on his market value, and consequent interest from the bigger market teams.

So we have the full MLE. Oubre, Lyles?

Lyles is a reclamation project. He was a lottery pick who just got released at the end of his rookie deal. Not a good sign.

Oubre is restricted. Last night I thought the Suns had to trade him (S&T) to make room for the Rubio signing, but I was corrected - the Suns made another trade to make room, and already signed Rubio. The only way the Spurs can touch Oubre is if he says he wants to be traded, and we negotiate a S&T deal with Phoenix. Oubre and the Suns met on Sunday night, and they lowballed him. Supposedly he and his agent left pissed, but that's a long way from what would have to happen for the Spurs to get him. Bottom line, the Suns can force him to play for their QO this season, and make him a UFA next season. So the Spurs would have to make it worth their while.

[Mr. Body]

Lyles is just another piece of John Calipari wreckage. He has no capability of improving and isn't a smart basketball player. Most Kentucky players are like this -- they can be uber-talented but then just flatline in the NBA, never getting better. We can see Lyles in three years and he'll be the same crappy marginal player he is now. That is, if he's not out of the league.

I just want Bryn & Beli traded tbh, hopefully this pushes them closer to doing that

[Payote75]

Typically i would agree with most on free agent renegging, however in the case of a team trading an asset the league should intervene but not by forcing a player to sign as that wouldnt be right nor acceptable in any way but in a trade situation the league should undo everything allowing the player to sign with his chosen team Carrol bk to original deal Bertrans bk to spurs. Now people may say but why should X get screwed but in reality cause of one selfish player the onus should be put on him and players association should dissuade players from renegging because it hurts fellow players and makes the brotherhood look bad. Then the teams can decide where to go from there. Now if other chain reaction moves were made then can't follow the trail but if it was one singular transaction that can be set RT it should.
As far as the Knicks they are truly desperate and pathetic trying to corner the market on bigs to then flip them for picks etc just have enough class to not do it with a Ayer who already committed. That also should probably come into tampering. NBA is dumb once verbal agreement on both sides is reached any other team gets involved it should be tampering a verbal or handshake agreement is still binding.

[Joseph Kony]

if this dude bails the remaining crop of FAs is pretty awful outside of Ourbe who the spurs have no shot at.

i would prefer the spurs just look overseas if we get spurned by this got. gotta be another Joe Ingles or two out there

[timtonymanu]

I’d rather have Bryn over Patty but I guess it’s even pointless to speculate that

[JPB]

Let's trade them for some other mofo who will renege on the Spurs for good measure.

We on a roll...

[cd98]

Let’s be real. We don’t want the league to force a player that doesn’t want to be here sign a contract against his will.

Quincy Miller and Chris Singleton

Typically i would agree with most on free agent rwnegging, however in the case of a team trading an asset the league should intervened but not by forcing a player to sign as that would be rich nor acceptable in any way but in a trade situation the league should undo everything allowing the plate to sign with chosen team Carrol bk to original deal Bertrand bk to spurs. Now people may say but why should X get screwed but in realty cause of one selfish player the onus should be put on him and players association should dissuade players from rwnegging because it hurts fellow plate and makes the brotherhood look bad.

a) no, the league has no power to do that
b) "bertrand"

[YoungbuckMurray]

Let’s be real. We don’t want the league to force a player that doesn’t want to be here sign a contract against his will.

Easy way to solve this. Don't do agreements do signings

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Is he 100% going to the Knicks?

Suns will match any offer on Oubre. Suns offered Oubre 3 years and he is looking for 4 years. I could see Raptors or Mavs making a play at Oubre, but again fully expect Suns to match.

There should still be some type of consequence for doing this though.

If you'd think about this a little, you'd realize players and teams are all over the place and deals happen fast. You can't get a player into the same room with you in time while other deals have to happen. I mean, just use your brain.
