The issue is that Morris signed w/ Boston to set himself up for a bigger role and bigger payday in the future. And it was clear he was never going to get that larger role on a team w/ Tatum, Brown, Smart, Haywood, Kemba/Rozier. So there was really no chance he was going to stay with Boston, and there was no chance Ainge was going to overpay him to play the "toughness" role. So his departure was fait accompli the minute he signed here, and so I never felt Ainge mistakenly "let him walk for nothing".We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. The Morris Brothers' antics can be tiresome, but it's hard to question Marcus' competitive drive and toughness, two qualities the C's lacked most of last season and for the first part of this one.
