On Sunday, the Knicks announced the signing of Marcus Morris Sr. to a non-guaranteed contract. In my write-up on the reunion with Morris, I tried to condense an outstanding fact that I found out while doing research. After his terrific half-season with the Knicks, Marcus Morris was traded in February 2020 to the Los Angeles Clippers. The return from that trade package seems fairly regular, but the way the return evolved has led to an explosion of talent on the Knicks roster. By trading Morris, the Knicks inadvertently set up their future in ways that don’t even seem real.
