The Los Angeles Clippers offered a three-year, $41 million deal to Marcus Morris in free agency.
The Clippers were also set to pay Morris 50 percent of his salary on Oct. 1 as well.
But Morris sought a two-year, $40 million deal but the Clippers couldn't offer that deal while preserving enough cap space to sign Kawhi Leonard. The Clippers moved on and acquired Maurice Harkless in a four-team trade.
A rumor that Rich Paul never told Morris about the offer from the Clippers was denied by a team source. Morris and Paul parted ways when the contract with the Spurs was reneged on.

Rich Paul preferred that Marcus Morris honor his original deal with the San Antonio Spurs, league sources told Marc Berman of the New York Post.
Morris backed out of an agreement with the Spurs to sign a one-year deal with the Knicks. The Knicks opened up cap space by renegotiating Reggie Bullock's contract.
Paul was not involved in Morris breaking his agreement with the Spurs. The NY Post added that Morris and the Knicks negotiated his new deal.
Morris fired Paul as his agent over the weekend.
