#4 Marcus Morris to the San Antonio Spurs (via Free Agency):
The San Antonio Spurs have made some shrewd moves in the free agency market and none have been as impressive as the 2 year $20 million deal that they got for free agent Marcus Morris, who was an integral cog in the Celtics machine last season.
The elder of the two brothers, Marcus Morris had a really good shooting season last year for the Boston Celtics and made himself indispensable as a floor-spacing big man who could shoot the ball really well and also make himself available on the defensive end.

Morris averaged 13.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, shooting 44.7% from the field and 37.5% from beyond the arc, which vaulted him as a good shooter, if not a great one. The Spurs have always had rough and tough players in their roster under Pop and with the free agency acquisition of Morris, they keep their philosophy going.
The Spurs also need some stability and consistency from their role players, who have mostly been youngsters last season and Morris will be able to provide both as well as some floor-spacing for other players on the roster, allowing the Spurs to try a different plan if ever a need arose.
