Too late. These teams are going to Ben “protecting” themselves anyway next CBA.People don't seem to realize that the spurs made two moves to get Morris that they can't undo if he doesn't sign with them...
They had originally given Carroll most of the MLE...they then went and gave him a 3 year deal with I think 1.7 million guarenteed in the 3rd year so they could do a sign and trade and get the MLE. So Carrol gets at worst an extra 1.7 million and at best a 3rd year.
They traded Bertans to Washington for nothing so they would have enough money to give Carroll.
These two moves can't be undone. Carroll is signed and Bertans is traded.
If the spurs could just undo the Bertans trade and give Carroll the MLE instead of 3 years no harm no foul...
Like...this is the type of stuff that gets players fukked over in the next cba...
If the players and agents are smart they in Morris ear telling him he better sign with the Spurs cause this could fukk it up in the future FOR EVERYBODY...
You going to see owners push for shyt like shorter contracts and less money because "hey we can make roster moves we can't undo to sign a player that said he would sign and then he don't and now we high and dry we need to protect ourselves"...
Better hope these teams don’t collude for the payback.Play for Pop in boring ass San Antonio or ball out for 1 year in New York for more money and get the bag next offseason in a weak free agency class....I wonder what he'll choose

If D'Antoni could stop being stubborn. Rockets could use him off the bench. This Warriors team is gonna look mad different next year.
They tried to trade him first. Any team that wanted him could still get him for the minimum.I always thought the Warriors were a classy organization. But how you gonna do Sdot like that? Wait until all the free agents sign then you waive him?
They have to trade some of those big menHe's such an obvious secret gem just sitting there waiting for a chance and Orlando is too dumb to give him serious playing time
One of the better defensive bigs in the league and he'll play ten minutes a game this year.
I'll never understand anything Orlando does
