That' s a great deal for washington. They are going to be a dangerous team the second half of the season.

Why? Health issues are the only reason? D'mo fits better full stop. He's better in the post, better on the three, and is a better all around player period.

Markieff could have destroyed the locker room and if we ever want to trade him, well, we all saw what happened in PHX. Thank god he's off the table and that situation fixed itself without SVG making a bad move to pick up nutjob.

... Markieff is pretty soft on the floor too. Unless he's isoing his way to a shot of course.

We dodged a bullet. Good for phoenix to somehow get value back for him.

I'm someone who firmly believed adding Keiff would have been more of a distraction than anything. There's no doubt in my mind, Marcus is playing as well as he is because he's not with his brother and i'm happy that will continue to be the case. :D

Damn that is a pretty sh* return considering that they were asking for a young player+first. Posturing i guess. I am bummed out we didn't get him , but at the same time i think we'll have a easier time moving him(if we need) in the offseason than Kieff who comes with baggage. Even with health issues, 25 year old skiled 7footer will be highly sought after

Question is, would Kieff mind playing behind Tobias Harris? I think Monty won't mind.

so happy we didn't do this, I wanted nothing to do with him.

It's easier to move one Morris brother rather then two, moving 1=no drama moving 1 while keeping the other=we're a terrible franchise for splitting the two up moving both=less value for us probably.
