Woj: Marcus Morris Reneging on Agreement with Spurs?

[Mr. Body]

The Spurs are in no position to push Paul or his agency around. The influence of Klutch Sports is too pervasive. Any act of retribution against them would be brought back in kind and more. Paul and his group is teflon coated.

As the old saying goes - "You lie down with dogs, you will get fleas".

The only lingering problem is Murray. Otherwise the Spurs don't have to deal with Klutch if they don't want to. There's precedent -- Pop got jilted by another free agent years ago, similar cir stance, going back on player's word, and he refused to deal with the agent thereafter. Paul has no one over a barrel and frankly his clientele is stacked with these sorts of players -- glitz first, the shiny first, basketball later.

Who was this?

[cd98]

Only so many teams have money to spend each year and some players get left out of the dance. Morris was considered a higher tier free agent that should get a good payday, but that didn’t happen. If Klutch Sports was all powerful, how come he didn’t get a better deal this year? He was a bargain to the Spurs.

[JeffDuncan]

Forget the legalities, because since it's a Morris brother, he has a perfect legal defense. Mental inability.

Spurs should shop for somebody else.

So when is this dude going to make up his mind?

This. Not only is he possibly leaving us high and dry he’s taking his sweet ass time too

[Ice009]

The one behind all this is the one who owns Klutch.

Who owns clutch? Lebron, or it is his friend Rich Paul? Does Rich Paul own it or just run it?

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

Klutch is all about money not team building. I’m referring to how Klutch/Lebron insist on his Klutch teammates getting horribly overpaid to the detriment of his own team. It’s also about getting Klutch players out of small markets. Granted, that’s a league wide trend the players pursue on their own, but it doesn’t help markets like SA moving forward.

So yeah, it will be interesting to see how this affects Dejounte. Unlike Fun Guy, he actually expresses himself with words, so I’m optimistic, to a point.

[DJR210]

Marcus Morris, we boo him even if he signs IMO

[Dhbsr555]

This is. All planned that’s why he’s taking his time

[lmbebo]

on morning men (sorry if previously posted), but knicks were voiding Bullocks deal based on plantar fascitis? wtf kinda hobo crap is that ...

[YoungbuckMurray]

Maybe we should just take Bullock. We like injured guys

[CGD]

If the spurs move quickly in a different direction, they should just pull this puto ’s offer officially.

[Marcus Bryant]

this will all come down to for how much Reggie Bullock signs. The Knicks have exactly 15 Million in cap space available. If I understand this right they are trying to use the Room-Exception on Reggie Bullock (4.9 Million) instead of signing him with 10 Million of cap space. So if they sign him with the Room Exception Morris is heading to the Knicks, if Bullock demands more and they have to use cap space Morris is coming to San Antonio from what I understand

The major “red flag” from Bullock’s physical is that he has plantar fasciitis. 80% of NBA players have that. If his agent allows the Knicks to screw Bullock over a reason that lame he needs to quit.

Likely sleaze bag Dolan will make Bullock whole in under the table ways.
Find it highly unlikely Spurs would still consider signing Morris after he pulled this dishonest crap.

[Russ]

I guess I just never understood why the Spurs moved heaven and earth (not to mention Bertans) in the first place just for a shot at this guy.

Or...or...Bullock's agent can just join Klutch agency!

I mean the only 2 active NBA players he has as clients are Bullock and...Drew Eubanks!

(Which means that if the Spurs were thinking about offering the last roster spot to Eubanks over Robinson-Morris' twins BFF-David Bauman (Bullock's agent) knew about that... Just saying)

[RC_Drunkford]

Who is Bullock's agent?

David Bauman of Independent Sports and Entertainment

he's also 20 pounds heavier than he used to be according to reports. But I'm not sure if that's enough to go from 21/2 to 4.9/1. Even if they settle for 6 Million per year Spurs would get Morris

[GusT15]

Also LJ completely jinxed this year's Free Agency with this thread le

Nothing straightforward about it by the looks of it tbh

[tonight...you]

Garrett is a COTY and the Cowboys have a top 3 roster in the NFL currently. There is hope, unlike with Poop and the SA s

poor Poop...

That's an issue for the league and next CBA negotiations. Agents have a duty towards their player only. If the mandate from the player is make me money, that's it.

To renege is different thing, clearly. it happens all the time in life and business, sometimes with no consequences for the a-hole who reneges. Hope it is not the case this time.

Who was this?

LaMond Murray. He was supposed to fill in for Sean while he recovered from his kidney transplant.

Weren’t there also issues with Derek Anderson and his agent?
