NBA Trade Rumors: 5 destinations for Markieff Morris
By John Buhler
Markieff Morris is definitely on the trading block, and here are five places he could end up via trade.
So far this season, the Phoenix Suns have been one of the worst teams in the Western Conference. Only the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers are worse, and Phoenix sits well behind the eighth-place Utah Jazz for the final playoff spot in the West.
The once competitive Suns have fallen on hard times, and it might be in the organization’s best interest to move one of its best players: Markieff Morris.
Phoenix already shipped Marcus Morris to the Detroit Pistons, which almost instantly seemed to suggest that Markieff’s time with the team was limited. It’s not that the twin left behind wasn’t able to play without his brother — he just unwilling to do so and has been a problem both on and off the court since then.
With Morris throwing towels at Hornacek and the Suns looking like anything but a playoff team, it maybe time for Morris to go to another NBA franchise to get out of his awkward situation in the Arizona Desert with his employer.
Which team is the best landing spot for Morris, though, and offers the best possible position for mutual success?
