Beijing time on November 24, the competition for free agents by the teams is no longer as crazy as the previous days, and the transaction has become deserted. However, the Los Angeles Lakers still completed the veteran contract extension with Morris today. According to Shams of The Athletic, Markieff Morris and the Lakers reached a year-end salary renewal agreement. The promotion of this agreement means that he will play in Los Angeles with his younger brother Morris.
According to previous reports by ESPN reporters, Morris, who played for the Knicks and the Clippers last season and scored 16.7 points, 5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists, had a contract with Los Angeles after ending that one-year contract of 15 million US dollars. The Clippers reached a four-year, $64 million contract extension. After Harrell leaves, replacing him with the more experienced Morris will definitely play a very good role in improving the forward strength of the Clippers in the new season.
Although Morris has not reached a contract extension agreement with the Lakers, this veteran who won a championship ring initially hoped to be signed by the Clippers and once again interpret the true meaning of brother basketball with his brother. But the Lakers finally shot, leaving him with a veteran basic salary contract. Because the Lakers have always believed that the regular season last season averaged 5.3 points and 3.2 rebounds, the playoffs averaged 5.9 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and Morris, who shot 42% from three-point range, could help the team more. thing.
Maybe, unlike the twin brother, he can get a big contract of up to 64 million US dollars, and judging from the career history of the two, it is obviously that the younger brother’s career is more brilliant and the salary earned Also more. But who can deny the fact that Morris got the championship ring that all professional basketball players dream of?
Moreover, while his younger brother got a four-year $64 million contract, Morris still has a very high probability to follow in the footsteps of Zhan Mei and compete for the second championship ring of his career next season. It is worth mentioning that since when they played for the Suns at the same time, the assets of the two brothers were not divided between you and me, and the two shared a bank account. It is undeniable that the younger brother still accounts for the bulk of the account balance data contribution.
Another thing is that they play in Los Angeles at the same time, and they play for two opposing players, which is still a bit embarrassing. Judging from the tense relationship between the Lakers and the Clippers for so many years, they have reached a point where they cannot be dealt with. Even the Clippers have spent a lot of money to build a new home arena at their own expense. However, as far as the relationship between the two brothers is concerned, they may be merciless when fighting on the court, but this hatred will never be continued off the court.
