Markieff Morris is the first potential knucklehead the Washington Wizards have added to the roster since they exiled Andray Blatche, JaVale McGee, Nick Young, and Jordan Crawford early into the John Wall era.
At the time the trade was seen as either a sign of desperation, or as a smart investment in a player whose value was at its nadir.
It is easy to see where the “sign-of-desperation” crowd was coming from.
