During the offseason, a pair of NBA brothers were separated. On July 9th 2015, Marcus Morris was traded to the Detroit Pistons in a salary cap move that gave the Phoenix Suns an ultimately fleeting sense of hope that they could sign LaMarcus Aldridge.
When LaMarcus didn’t sign, the Suns were left with no bench, cap space they couldn’t use and an unhappy Morris brother. Well, technically two unhappy Morris brothers.
We knew Marcus was unhappy from the moment he got traded:
“For them to trade me without consent or telling or anything like that was kind of like a, I would say slap in the face,” Marcus told an Associated Press reporter.
