Auburn Hills — Marcus Morris just needed a chance.
A chance to play more. A chance to start.
A chance for a new start.
In the NBA, though, getting that ideal chance usually means being traded.
When Morris, 26, was dealt from the Phoenix Suns to the Pistons in the summer, it was anything but an amicable breakup.
Morris was leaving his twin brother Markieff and the circumstances around the trade were less than ideal, as Marcus signed a four-year, $20-million contract extension before last season — something of a hometown discount to stay with his brother.
