Apparently Marcus Morris was offered a three-year, $41 million offer from the Clippers and turned it down before agreeing to the two year, $20 million offer with the Spurs. No wonder he was unhappy with Rich Paul and Klutch.

He turned down the offer. How is that his agents fault?

Hard to say without more details, but who knows, it wouldn't be the first case of an agent misreading the market and providing bad advice. Rich Paul in particular has a history of participating in various holdouts as well (like was mentioned above, even for players like Norris Cole and Tristan Thompson). Perhaps Rich Paul told him he would get a better offer if he waited until Kawhi decided where to go?.

He accepted the Spurs offer on July 6th, same day Kawhi announced he was going to the Clippers, so it's possible they realized at that point there were no better offers and could also be part of the reason why he reneged that offer for the Knicks later for more money this year.
