Marcus Morris and Nerlens Noel have reportedly fired agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, according to Stefan Bondy of The New York Daily News.
Paul, of course, is mostly known for representing Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, as well as Anthony Davis, John Wall, Ben Simmons and Eric Bledsoe. Paul also represents Marcus' brother, Markieff.

Marcus Morris agreed to a one-year, $15 million deal with the New York Knicks. This was after he backed out of his two-year, $20 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs. Nerlens Noel signed a one-year, $2.03 million contract to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
There were reports Marcus Morris was upset that his free agent market wasn't more lucrative. He averaged 13.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists this past season with the Boston Celtics while shooting 44.7 percent from the field, 37.5 percent from beyond the arc and 84.4 percent from the free-throw line.
In 2018-19, Nerlens Noel put up 4.9 points and 4.2 rebounds with the Thunder, who traded Paul George to the Los Angeles Clippers and Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets.
Rich Paul will be fine. He's still got LeBron, AD, Simmons, Wall and Bledsoe. We'll see who Morris and Noel hire as their next agents before the upcoming season starts.
