SAN FRANCISCO – With the Dec. 15 trade marker approaching — the date players signed in the offseason are first eligible to be traded — Marcus Morris’ trade value is trending upward.
The Knicks believe they can garner a late first-round pick for the 30-year-old Morris from a playoff contender if they decide to trade him. Maybe even the Spurs come calling.
Suddenly a 3-point machine, Morris has been the hero in three of the Knicks’ five victories this season, including both wins over Dallas and Wednesday’s 124-122 overtime victory in Golden State when he poured in 37 points.
