The Phoenix Suns have got one hell of a problem on their hands. A stroppy NBA player. And we all know that a stroppy NBA player can single handedly blow up a team.
Markieff Morris isn’t just stroppy, he is straight up miffed. The Suns knew when they got the Morris Twins, you either take them both, or trade them both. They’re a package deal. So when the Suns sent Marcus to Detroit, they weren’t happy. Markieff has vehemently expressed his wanting to be out of Phoenix. But Brandon Knight would still want to play with Markieff.
“That’s really all I can speak on that matter — just want him to be happy,” Knight told Jared Greenberg and Rick Fox on “Off the Dribble” after Morris went public with his desire to leave the Suns this week. “If he stays with us, we’d definitely love to have him. Great player. I’m looking forward to playing with him. But if not, it’s a business. Like I said, I just want Markieff to be happy. That’s the main thing. I love him as a player. I love his game. So as of now, I’m excited to play for him.”
I would like to see how Markieff will play this out. Will he refuse to play? And where’s his brother? Why isn’t he talking? Or is he just chilling, knowing that Detroit is probably a better place for him than Phoenix.
