Markieff Morris, a good but not great power forward who averaged 15.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game last season, has suddenly become the most unpredictable story in the NBA heading into training camp.
Keef wants to be traded. The Phoenix Suns want — and need — to keep him. It’s become an uncomfortable staring contest, one where the Suns hold all the power and won’t likely budge with Morris’ trade value currently so low. The only question now is whether the front office will be forced to take drastic measures based on Keef’s attitude once he rejoins the team.
