Woj: Marcus Morris Reneging on Agreement with Spurs?

[kobyz]

Morris just waiting for spurs to announce they're moving on, not to be the one who ends it...

[Atl Spur]

He had to, the spurs weren’t gonna fool with that clown once this went down! No prob.....we’ll move on

[YoungbuckMurray]

According to KHRISJohnsonNBA, Marcus Morris will sign with NY. Just waiting for NY and Bullock to agree on a new deal.

I can't either. Which is why I said they're going to have to make some kind of back door deal. It's why Bullock's agent is calling them "mensches" - they're trying to come up with something creative. But I don't think there is a creative solution to this that gets Bullock satisfied, without going outside the rules.

A team backing out of a $20MM commitment over an exaggeration of a common player condition isn't something easily swept under the rug, especially with the team's motivation clear (ie signing Morris).

That would help Morris and the Knicks, but both need Bullock to agree to getting screwed out of eight figures guaranteed.

Oh, I know. If you're saying it's hard to believe they could pull it off, that's my first thought too. But when there's a lot of money involved, it seems like it's easier to sell a big lie. Lance Armstrong got by with doping for how long? Everyone knew he was doing it, deep down. But most of his fans refused to believe it.

I think they have Bullock over a barrel. They can claim that he's medically unfit for them to sign, and it's much harder for him to get anyone else to sign him. I think they'll find a way to split the difference with him, even if its "creative", and he'll go along rather than try to fight that. I think Silver will go along, just because there's no one to say otherwise, and what's good for big markets is good for the league.

Why don’t Spurs sign Bullock?

Bullock has no say in this, he failed his physical, Knicks not obligat to the agreement, they offer him small contract for good will...

[Mugen]

Just sign Bullock with half of the MLE tbh.

Why don’t Spurs sign Bullock?

Because he's a guard?

This is KARMA on Poop for screwing over Hanga telling him we going to bring him over and when Manu came
back. Poop was like sorry son we don’t need anymore see Ya.

I didn't like the way they handled Hanga or Simmons. Simmons could have gotten a bigger payday if the Spurs had given him walking papers at the beginning of free agency. And that was always likely to be his one big payday. I know people can't hear anything that says their heroes did something poorly, but both of those were raw deals.

When DeAndre Jordan reneged on the Mavs, a lot of people here just laughed. Some said it was wrong, but a lot just laughed because it was Cuban and the Mavs. But the league said then that it was legal, since there's no contract. So is this. If the Knicks make some kind of backdoor deal, that's over the line, but we'll never know.

I don't think it's karma, it's just a messed up system that allows it.

Yep, there is nothing here stopping Morris or the Knicks other than maybe bad reputation. But the Knicks are already known to be awful (and in fact, most would view this as a coup for them by collecting assets despite how they go about it), and players don't have to give a about their reputation these days.

If he goes to the Knicks, it will be a sad day for Spurs fans, but nothing else will come of it.

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

It appears as if Silver is not very concerned about changing the situation. So there’s that.

Individual owners are probably pissed in the short term, but if the value of their teams keeps going up they will probably just roll with it.

Jordan had a change of heart. This is purely about money. Money that wasn’t available or offered when he agreed to terms. My problem isn’t with Morris, it’s the Knicks and his agent.

Wait, you think they screwed over Simmons? They had him as a RFA. Why the would htey have renounced him at the start of free agency? Doing it at all was a massive favor. What a bad take.

The Hanga thing was handled poorly but when it comes to JSimms, they had no obligation to make him unrestricted. If anything they did him a solid by eventually doing that. Theres plenty of restricted FAs that have been kept when they made it clear they wanted to leave. Eric Gordon comes to mind, when he wanted to leave NO to be a cornerstone in the PHX.

Because he's a guard?
