I hope he does something that gets him banned from the league and the Suns can rip up his contract and not owe him a dime. That would be funny. I don't think he has any skills aside from average basketball ones..... good luck in the real world, Keef!

I know who you were implying, I was just joking around.

That's it? Just 10k? They should've fined his ass a lot more for acting like a **** baby. It pisses me off when scrub players think they're the **** and have all these demands. Does he not remember the **** year he's had? Learn how to grab a **** rebound! So many people would kill to play ball for a living, but I feel like he's taking it for granted. As messed up as it sounds, I hope he gets jail time. **** that guy man. /BurningHeartrant

Starting to think that Cody Zeller is honestly the best and most realistic trade option.

Cody Zeller + Brian Roberts (or Marvin Williams who is expiring, no difference)

FOR

Markieff + Cav's 2016 1st rounder

Even Gambo's partner Burns was talking about how much he wants Markieff off the team now. Said getting rid of him is addition by subtraction, which is what I have been saying since last season (as I have said a million times and you all know). I do not see any way the Suns can go into next season with Markieff on the team. Maybe they do not trade him but instead suspend him without pay for conduct detrimental to the team until there is a trade offer the organization is happy with. Otherwise how are you are supposed to build chemistry when your starting power is claiming prior to training camp he will refuse to listen to the coach or speak to anyone. Sometimes you just have to cut ties and the Suns are at that point with Markieff.

Kief retweeted it. He is treating the fine like its just the cost of advertising.

Seriously, though, what other team would actually want a dumbass like Markieff Morris on their team? He's a bad teammate, bad locker room guy, bad off the court, doesn't get along with the officials and is disrespectful to ownership/authority. Yeah, I'm sure teams are lining up to get him. Maybe going overseas to play in China will help him.

Mirza Teletovic joined Suns voluntary workouts today. Chandler is expected soon. That'll make Morris the only absent contract Sun. #Keefbeef

I don't know if this was already posted. I didn't see it anywhere, but just noticed the news. http://valleyofthesuns.com/2015/09/04/nba-2k16-features-2004-05-phoenix-suns/

I was very much against cutting him or trading a dollar for a dime but at this point, it really might not be worth having him around the team. I'm probably one of the few people on this board giving Kieff a longer leash just because he still has value on the market and I was happy to keep him on board until at the ASW to build his value before making a trade but this guy seem to be doing his absolute best to destroy ANY trade value he may have left.

I think we move him now, even if it means we're a worse team talent-wise going into the season.

I wouldn't be surprised if most teams (with cap space) put up their hand to have Kieff on their team if he was to be waived. The guy seem to just have be beefing with the Suns front office only and I don't see him having an issue joining any other team as long as it's no longer with the Suns.

I would say that McD has enough power to make sure Markieff doesn't get another gig in the NBA, but Markieff is pretty much already doing it to himself. Who would want to bring this nut job in to their franchise (except the Kings, thats kinda their thing)?

Markieff still ranting about FOE a few hours after he gets fined. He also took away his profile description that said he was the power forward for the Suns and all it says now is #PhillyMade #TeamFOE. I hope this situation gets resolved soon.
