Even without a trade, Phoenix Suns could lose Markieff Morris to suspension for an extended time

Unless the Morris twins get the charges dropped entirely, any kind of conviction or plea would likely result in a long NBA suspension.

Silly as the trade demand is, the Phoenix Suns front office likely does not want a repeat of last season's chemistry meltdown and keeping Markieff Morris around against his will could cause just such a reaction. No matter what they say in public, you can bet the Suns would prefer to trade Morris if a reasonable return is available.

But even if they don't trade him, the Suns might not even have Markieff Morris for a significant portion of the season anyway.
