PHOENIX -- The Markieff Morris saga in Phoenix is over, much to the relief of what's left of the Suns fan base.
The Suns sent the unpopular power forward to the Washington Wizards, minutes before Thursday's trade deadline. Seven months earlier, they shipped his twin brother, Marcus, to the Detroit Pistons.
"I think Markieff will play well in Washington but I think for all parties involved it was time for a fresh start," Suns general Manager Ryan McDonough said Friday. "I think this trade hopefully will bring a breath of fresh air into our organization.
