#3 Marcus Morris - 1 year, $15 million
The New York Knicks continue to maintain the 'Lolknicks' narrative that has made a joke of the franchise that is tenanted at the Mecca of basketball over the last 20 years. Having already signed 3 power forwards with very little versatility or ability to stretch the floor in Taj Gibson, Julius Randle and Bobby Portis on the very first day of free agency, they continued to build up a curious roster chock-full of misfits.
Marcus Morris was their fourth signing at the PF position. 10 years back, Morris may have been a conventional small forward with his size and skillset, but the modern NBA dictates that he strictly see the floor only as a 4. I'm left wondering, as is usual with the Knickerbockers front office, what the exact rationale behind this signing was.
David Fizdale has been a coach focused on developing the youngsters on his roster (he does have a fair amount of raw talent at his disposal), and he's unlikely to give Morris an extended run if he does not start the season off hot.
