It would be hard not too if that's the price. Keiff has more all around talent and his contract is just great. He would be a nice defensive upgrade, He can't shoot the 3 as well as Illy but is still a threat from there and the best part is he can post up unlike Illy throughout a game as well.
Yup. The only reasonable argument for not wanting Markieff is that he isn't quite as good of a shooter as Ily is but.... He does everything else better. It's not like Ily is some sort of shooting savior for us either though. Ily is routinely riding the bench in favor of Tolliver at the end of games because Tolliver is a better defender. Markieff has actually been clutch at times too so I wouldn't mind at all if we replaced Ily with him. It just makes us a better team all around. Ily or a 1st rounder for Markieff is fair considering Markieff's current status with the Suns.
My reasonable argument is that he's a knucklehead and I don't want the Morris twins together. The only reason people even know he's available is because Phoenix is so upset over his attitude and the problems he's been causing because of if not with his brother. Seperating them was for the best. Now, Markieff is throwing a tantrum to get his way. He's childish and doesn't care about his team. I don't want that in our lockerroom. Especially one so young without a veteran presence.
You can chose to ignore it all you want, but it won't make it go away.
