Woj: Marcus Morris Reneging on Agreement with Spurs?

[Dex]

By trading Mills instead. If they traded Mills, Morris can get much more than 10M

Come on DPG. You and I both know Mills ain't going nowhere, no matter how much SpursTalk hems and haws about it.

Might as well just leave it out of the discussion.

[DPG21920]

But with trading Bertans for Carroll, and the apparent wanting of trading Beli for another FA, would adding in Forbes to the equation to accomplish that goal be too much?

If it gets Morris the extra money to match the offer and still allows you to stay on your apparent plan, is it TOO much?

Would get an extra roster spot because of it and truly clear the guard logjam.

But that sends a crappy message IMO. But at the end of the day is trading Beli/Forbes/Bertans for Morris/Carroll/9M MLE a good deal?

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs can't do anything, this is all about how much Reggie Bullock signs for

I know - was just giving an example

No man don't give this dude a dime more eff him who really wants him on the team right now? We always ragging about loyalty deals and how spurs go above and beyond with those things you think players don't know that . You get rewarded for doing the right thing let this dude move on.

[slick'81]

Ironic that mills is now the one thing keeping the spurs from actually improving as a basketball team

[MoSpur02]

We should have went after Boogie, PATFO had to be smartass and not do the obvious thing!

Hindsight is always 20/20. Morris is a better pickup than Cousins. The Spurs didn't know Morris would pull this kind of stunt.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

pretty sure mills just got the the spurs in the ass award, or whatever its called, so i doubt they're about to trade him

Remember when Parker said he wanted to play with the Spurs until he was 40? Mills will be the one to actually do it.

but the Spurs are kind of screwed with out him because of the Bertans trade.

He stinks and even alienated the Warriors.

.....wait...is that a serious question?

[Mugen]

Good god, Spurfan thinks Bryn is a vital piece of this team going forward....jesus christ almighty.

[DPG21920]

.....wait...is that a serious question?

Yeah it’s a serious question. Spurs already had a deal in place with Morris that didn’t involve losing 2 players. Him pulling this then having to lose 2 players and pay him more? It’s a serious question in the context of the situation.

fixed

Considering Pop is so committed to principal, they should withdraw the offer on this piece of before he takes the consolation prize

Okay, I'll answer it.

Yes, it's a GREAT deal and I would think the Spurs wouldn't be dumb enough to let hurting the feelings of two losers like Beli/Bryn stop them from significantly improving the roster.

Even before this Morris went down, they needed to free up minutes for Lonnie and move on from as many losers as possible from last year's team.

Totally agree. I was looking forward to having Marcus on the team, but not now.

[GreekSpursfan]

How many shooters do we have, actual shooters? Outside of Forbes i would say Belli and Mills who have nothing to offer based on last season. I would say Forbes is very vital in todays NBA. Bring me better options and then Forbes can go.
If we give up Forbes just to aquire Morris(who's not that good to begin with) then we are dumb as .

Yep. Casts the Spurs in a very bad light.

[MannyIsGod]

Never mind. You were one of the losers who pushed the rumor that the Spurs offered Simmons $9M per, and then started treating it like fact - even though they never offered him anything other than the $1.6M QO. So you make up your own stories a lot, it seems, and then fight about them. You don't have the right to go talking about bad takes.

https://news4sanantonio.com/sports/s...mmons-an-offer
"But contrary to any reports that the Spurs were interested in keeping him, come this nugget from our own Casey Keirnan that San Antonio never made Simmons an offer whatsoever."

The Spurs lifted the FA tag eventually, which they didn't have to do. It didn't take a genius to see that it would have helped him more to do it sooner. I would have preferred that route, since I don't think they wanted him to stay. It's that simple.

Bro you literally started a thread today making things up. LOL.

Look, its not my fault you're coming up with bad takes. Its going to be OK.

Lonnie. I'll take the dip in outside shooting to get a boost at literally at everything else. There were people upset about losing Gary Neal as well.

[MannyIsGod]

LMAO. It was a $1.6M qualifying offer. Everyone knew there would be an offer sheet north of that, so why even bring it up.

Now, stop being a pussy and show us the quote where I equated the Simmons and Morris situations. You said it minutes ago, so I know you can find it.

You can't even keep who you're replying to in order.

[sasaint]

.....wait...is that a serious question?

I took it as rhetorical.

[slick'81]

Maybe the spurs are exploring options to free up space but im not giving this fcker an extra penny if it means attaching a pick to appease morris pocket book

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs should just wait it out til the Knicks sign Bullock. If you don't get Morris offer Oubre the MLE which Phoenix would most likely match. Only option really worth trading for is Covington.
