Gregg Popovich unhappy with Marcus Morris
During the opening week of free agency, the San Antonio Spurs agreed to sign Marcus Morris to a two-year deal worth their mid-level exception. The Spurs traded Davis Bertans to the Washington Wizards to create the necessary cap space to sign Morris, although the free agent eventually decided to head to the New York Knicks instead.

Speaking at San Antonio's Media Day, head coach Gregg Popovich expressed his disappointment in Morris, while also expressing his regret at losing Bertans:
It was more than difficult to lose Davis (Bertans). Let’s just say that that was an unfortunate situation that was handled unprofessionally on a couple of different levels. We made that move (trading Bertans) to make the signing that we did, and we got blindsided.
With the Boston Celtics last season, Morris averaged 13.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. He will earn $15 million with the New York Knicks this season.
