Marcus Morris didn’t make many friends during his free agency, which ultimately ended with him signing a one-year, $15 million deal with the New York Knicks. He signed with New York after reportedly agreeing to, but backing out of, a two-year, $20 million deal with the Spurs

According to the New York Daily News, Morris quickly fired his agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports. The reasoning isn’t clear, but according to the Daily News’ Stefan Bondy, Morris had turned down a lot more money earlier in July.

“Morris, according to a source, turned down a $41 million offer from the Clippers before pivoting to the Spurs and, eventually, the Knicks,” Bondy reported.

Morris, who was coming off a four-year, $20 million contract he had vastly outperformed, entered free agency after things fell apart in Boston. Once Kyrie Irving decided to leave, Boston had to let Morris go to create the cap space necessary to bring in Kemba Walker.

It’s unclear how long the $41 million offer was, which may have played into its rejection. If the Clippers offered Morris a three-year deal, it would have started at just over $13 million, which would have still allowed the Kawhi Leonard and Paul George moves. According to Bondy, the Clippers turned to Moe Harkless after Morris rejected them.

From there, Morris and Paul committed to a two-year deal with the Spurs, which required them to trade Davis Bertans to clear cap space. The Knicks, meanwhile, and restructured Reggie Bullock’s contract and opened up more money, which was then offered to Morris. He reneged on the Spurs and took the Knicks one-year offer.

Morris still has a chance to salvage his money with a new agent. The one-year deal with New York puts Morris back into the mix next year in a weaker free agency class. He could recoup his lost income from this summer and then some, depending on his performance. He could also assuage fears teams may have after the Spurs mess by blaming it on his former agent.

Paul and Klutch Sports have already been blamed for the messy public divorce between new client Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans. That included a very public campaign to keep the Boston Celtics from trading for Davis, whose preferred destination was the Los Angeles Lakers. The strategy worked as Boston backed away from any significant offer. There is some distaste around the league for how he’s handled certain situations, so Morris can brush this summer away by leaning on that during next summer’s negotiations.

Morris averaged 13.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game over two years for the Celtics. He shot a career-best 37.2 percent from 3 during his time in Boston.
