Clippers miss two targets but hit on re-signing Marcus Morris
Shortly after NBA free agency began Friday, the Clippers lost their sixth man. The unrestricted free agency of Marcus Morris lasted fewer than five hours after he agreed to a four-year, $64-million contract that will return the 6-foot-8 forward to the Clippers’ starting lineup, a person with knowledge of the agreement confirmed. The Clippers also agreed to a one-year contract with Patrick Patterson, a backup forward on last year’s team, while losing Montrezl Harrell, the NBA’s top reserve, to the rival Lakers on a two-year contract. Late Friday, the Clippers lost another key reserve in JaMychal Green to Denver after he agreed to a two-year contract worth $15 million, a separate person with knowledge of the decision said. Clippers guard Patrick Beverley, a teammate of Harrell’s for all five of his NBA seasons, tweeted “what” with a red-faced emoji when news broke of Harrell’s two-year deal with the rival Lakers.
