We are unsure what was said. They were offered an amount, and it was left to them how to split it up. Once the contracts were agreed, I think that was the end of it. But all of that was before their legal issues, and bad lockerroom issues. Also that was before Marcus screamed at Hornacek on National tv.
Yeah suppose we won't ever really know since it clearly wasn't written into the contract. If it was a handshake deal lesson learned for Morris I guess.
You guys still have talent this isn't lost yet is it?
For me, it doesn't even matter what was promised. Markieff and Marcus during the course of the season before the trade, did everything they possibly could to wear out their welcomes. Markieff told all the fans they sucked, Marcus yelled at Hornacek on national TV, they both got techs at record pace (both combined more than many teams had), they started teaching the youngsters how to avoid the media and other unprofessional things (rumors, but they were out there), and then they capped it all off by "allegedly" committing felony assault at a community center.
You can't do all of that and think a team will stand by you regardless. They took that new deal as a sign they could do whatever the hell they wanted with no consequences.
