Report: Knicks not planning to trade Marcus Morris
New York Knicks small forward Marcus Morris has been drawing interest from
multiple teams with the trade deadline less than a month away.
However, according to Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports, the Knicks aren’t
planning to trade Morris:
Knicks forward Marcus Morris Sr. is a hot name around league circles for so
many reasons, but the Knicks have no plans on trading him, a source told
Yahoo Sports.

Goodwill expanded on the Knicks' purported thinking:
"He's on an expiring contract that he's outperforming, capable of playing
both forward positions and is shooting 46.9 percent from three on nearly six
attempts a game. The notion that his numbers are inflated because he's
playing for the Knicks haven't quelled interest, but the Knicks seem set on
keeping Morris as a piece for the present and future.
"He likes playing in New York and for the franchise, two things that aren't a
given with other players."
SNY's Ian Begley reported on Tuesday that the Philadelphia 76ers are "keeping
an eye on Morris," while the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers are
believed by opposing executives to be monitoring Morris' market. That now
seems like a dead-end for all interested parties.

雖然市場上有幾支球隊像76人 快艇等都對Marcus Morris有興趣
不過看來尼克不想交易已經30歲且只簽一年約的MM弟 他們覺得他表現很出色
MM弟能打鋒線兩個位置 三分命中率46.9%(每場三分出手數接近六次)
尼克把他視為現在跟未來重要的一員 MM弟本人也喜歡在紐約打球
大家原本都以為尼克簽他只是當打工仔 且季中就會被交易換籤
但尼克看來覺得他很重要 只能說這一切都很尼克
