Marcus Morris fires Rich Paul as agent
According to a source, Marcus Morris and Nerlens Noel have fired agent Rich Paul.— Stefan Bondy (@SBondyNYDN) July 13, 2019
A couple days after backing out of a verbal agreement with the San Antonio Spurs to sign with the New York Knicks, forcer Celtics forward Marcus Morris has dismissed LeBron's guy Rich Paul and Klutch Sports. Klutch Sports had announced Marcus Morris agreeing to a contract with the Spurs initially.
Marcus Morris is not the only player to fire Rich Paul. Nerlens Noel of the Thunder has also parted ways. Noel had agreed to a deal with the Thunder, but shortly after backed out only to agree again to a deal with them. So both players who reneged on their deals are now former Rich Paul clients.
Paul of course orchestrated the departure of Anthony Davis from New Orleans and trade to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Update:
Received clarification that the Marcus Morris-Rich Paul separation was mutual in the wake of his free agency. Also, Noel remains with Klutch. https://t.co/6TmQs0211M— Stefan Bondy (@SBondyNYDN) July 14, 2019
Wonder if a mutual separation is something like this:
"You're fired."
"You can't fire me, I quit."
"You can't quit, I already fired you!"
"You can't fire me, I already quit!"
