Nerlens Noel and Marcus Morris were among two of the players that changed their minds during free agency, and Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News is reporting that Noel and Morris are now parting ways with super agent Rich Paul.

Noel initially agreed on a new one-year extension with the Thunder, before backing out. However, Noel subsequently returned to the team after failing to find a better deal.

Meanwhile, Morris agreed upon a two-year, $20 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs, although he soon wanted out after receiving a one-year, $15 million offer from the Knicks. The Spurs eventually withdrew their offer, although Morris' decision reportedly irked a number of executives.

Paul himself is known as the most powerful agent in the NBA, and LeBron James and Anthony Davis are among his most noteworthy clients.
