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.

虽然市场上有几支球队像76人 快艇等都对Marcus Morris有兴趣
不过看来尼克不想交易已经30岁且只签一年约的MM弟 他们觉得他表现很出色
MM弟能打锋线两个位置 三分命中率46.9%(每场三分出手数接近六次)
尼克把他视为现在跟未来重要的一员 MM弟本人也喜欢在纽约打球
大家原本都以为尼克签他只是当打工仔 且季中就会被交易换签
但尼克看来觉得他很重要 只能说这一切都很尼克
