Joe Harris: 4 years, $75 million (Brooklyn Nets)

Joe Harris got himself a major payday compared to the high-single and low-double-digit numbers being bandied about before free agency began. In the end, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to play with Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and perhaps one day James Harden. Especially at almost $19 million per year.

The Nets are clearly willing to pay what it takes to retain talent, and Harris is one of the league’s most lethal 3-point shooters and will complement a healthy Irving and Durant (and perhaps Harden?) beautifully. Last season he shot 42.4 percent from long range, which is actually down a touch from his career mark of 42.6 percent.

Still, it’s a lot of money

Grade: C

Marcus Morris: 4 years, $64 million (LA Clippers)

Marcus Morris will return to the LA Clippers, re-signing a four-year deal worth $64 million. After Montrezl Harrell departed to the Los Angeles Lakers (which is still hilarious), Morris became a lock to return. Considering he was already one of their top priorities, it’s no surprise that they paid up for a player they prized at the last trade deadline and acquired from the New York Knicks.

We’ll see if his twin brother Markieff Morris is going to follow him to the Clippers, or if playing for the Lakers is close enough for him. It’s highly likely that one of those two destinations is in the cards for Markieff.

Grade: C+
