Marcus, Markieff Morris sign with Roc Nation Sports

The news is significant given what happened with Marcus over the summer.
Marcus was a free agent and originally agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs. They even traded Davis Bertans to make room for him. The New York Knicks had a deal fall through and were able to offer Morris more money for one season and signed him to a one-year, $15 million deal.
The choice to back out was Morris’ and led to a split between him and previous agent Rich Paul. The brothers were looking for agents after that and found a new home with Roc Nation Sports, whose NBA clients include Kyrie Irving, Danny Green and Caris Levert, among others.
Marcus has been dealing with knee tendinitis for the Knicks this season. Markieff is in his first season with the Detroit Pistons.
