3. Marcus Morris Sr.
The 6’8 forward has played for eight different franchises in his 13-year NBA career, including two seasons in Boston. He helped them make the conference finals in 2018 and was a key floor spacer.
The 34-year-old has bounced around the league since leaving Beantown. He signed with the Knicks as a free agent in 2019. Morris Sr. has been traded three times and spent time on six different teams over the last five years. He started last season in Philadelphia before being dealt to San Antonio in the Buddy Hield trade. Morris finished the year in Cleveland.
The 6’8 forward is one of the top remaining free agents. He has proven to be a quality rotation piece capable of helping a contender. Morris has shot over 40 percent from 3-point range over the last five years combined. He offers defensive versatility, experience, and scoring to any roster.
Several teams are rumored to be interested in signing Marcus Morris Sr. to a veteran minimum contract. The 34-year-old hoped to get more, but figures to select a franchise before training camp for his 14th NBA season. He likely joins a contender. It just won't be the Celtics.
