Let’s be real. We don’t want the league to allow players to agree to play for teams and have that team trade away their home grown talent, just for that player to say “oh wait, I was just ing with you.”
No, but there should be a substantial fine for backing out of an agreement especially if a team makes roster changes in order to sign a player.

It's just Marcus Morris. I'm not devastated.
Its called e-signing, its very easy really
No, nothing new since the article from Spears earlier in which he says sources think that Spurs/Morris will eventually agree. but the longer we hear nothing the less good for the spurs it is ...
You should call up the league and tell them.
Also, the league should let NY know that should they sign Morris, they will strip draft pick(s) from them and award them to SA for interfering with their transaction.
I've sold and bought homes online all the time. Pretty sure it can be done in the NBA. Tricky part is the physical (due diligence). Players should have a NBA appointed physician to run physicals for all teams prior to free agency.
I totally think this is of low character but it’s better to find out now than later. If he leaves.....he leaves! PATFO will never acquiesce to such bs; don’t burn bridges Mr.Morris.
You told me to use my brain. Its literally the way you could get the contract signed if your not in the same place. Don't know why you feel it is so ridiculous. Maybe you should use your brain
I'm sure 30 franchises will be able to decide on 'a NBA appointed physician'. E-signing and remote physicals aren't reasonable solutions. They won't happen.
Fans think of this like it’s 2K or something. It’s hard to remember that this stuff is reality and players don’t just show up in an office ready to sign
I'm not really a fan of his but he is a big upgrade over Gay
Lol im doing it off my phone wiseass lol...but it's not a power it's verbal handshake binding. If he changed his mind the deal was contingent on his word it was 3 way delay so it should be vetoed if it's a singular transaction not if it's a snowball of transactions. Why should the spurs be the ones to pay the price? The players association doesn't step in for something like this? Why cause there are no ramifications but if it hurt other players I bet they would step in.a) no, the league has no power to do that
b)"bertrand"
He wants to play for the most money not the Knicks, its understandable, him, i wasn't a fan anyway. The very bad thing is that there are no other options out there. We're not winning anything anyways, whatever.
Buford should've flown him to SA as soon as he expressed his initial Spurs interest. If he was in the east coast the whole time verbal agreements were being exchanged then no wonder somebody else got to him. Buford getting his "Yes" then hanging up and calling it a day's work. It's just some wing roleplayer anyway
No need. This type of thing happens everyday in business.... until you secure that sig everything is fair game by law! Poor character yes but not criminal my dude.
It's not that we're possibly, or more than likely, losing Morris. It's the fact that we traded a player and took on an extra year of Carroll for nothing (or whatever we can get from remaining FAs.)
It would have been nice to have him, but if this is how he is, it probably wouldn't have worked anyway. Probably not a culture guy.
But me is this embarrassing.
And yes, we lost Davis for literally nothing.
We have to this guy up every time we play the Knicks now. Gotta leave him looking like absolute garbage.
That’s most of our sentiment. He wasn’t a dream forward, he was just the best on the market and there aren’t any great replacements. That said, he’s a little undersized but I’m kinda intrigued with Justin Holiday
if they actually want this kind of power, then you have to make it a condition of the other contracts...
ie the spurs and carroll agree to a 3/21 deal on the condition that the spurs are able to execute the trade of bertans to the wizards and are able to acquire marcus morris for the MLE
if you fail to include those conditions, then those outside cir stances won't be considered.
this tbh. but losing out on morris also hurts
Could be a blessing in disguise.
I said he was restricted. That means the Suns can match.The Spurs can't make an offer, because they don't have any cap room - so it's not even a matter of matching for them.
But no, the Suns wouldn't have matched any offer. They were worried that someone would hand him an offer sheet that they couldn't justify matching. I think Dallas is the only team left with enough cap space to make him a big offer (last I checked). So now they're trying to offer him less than he's worth, from what I understand, because they think it's the best he can get now.
IF Oubre is fed up with the Suns' management, and he demands a trade, the Suns might listen to a S&T deal, just so they don't lose him for nothing next season. Like I said above, that's the only way the Spurs could touch him. I had a little glimmer of hope, until I saw that they made a trade to get the space to sign Rubio. (That's why they dumped Korver.) Now I'd put their chance pretty close to zero.
