Crossover: Devin Booker

Does it bother anybody else that he's riding around on that Segway thingamajig? OTOH, maybe it's saving his legs for basketball.

NBA fining Markieff Morris $10,000 for publicly demanding a trade.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 15m15 minutes ago
NBA trade demands made directly to the team by a player or his agent, without a public statement, is NOT a violation of league rules

The NBA, remember, has been fining players for making trade demands public since the 2005-06 season. "Public" being the key distinction

The hilarious thing is that Keef retweeted the NBA's tweet about fining him.

And didn't Goran do the same? Or did he just say he wasn't going to re-sign with us?

I think Goran's comments were that he would not resign with us and it might be in the Suns best interest to make a deal. Its not exactly the same thing, but close. He was probably close to a fine.

Goran requested his trade privately. Media reported it. In his interview he said he wasn't going to re-sign here.

Nothing to see here, Suns still don't have to deal him and shouldn;t unless it's fair value
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Kieff is a better player then Davis. PASS.

No way the Knicks give up Porzingas for Kieff.

Whether the players are in the right or wrong, it just looks bad that so many of our key guys lately have wanted out or have demanded trades. I hope we get him out of here pronto to quiet all of the media gossip.

Kieff is treating the fine like its the cost of advertising. Not impacting him much, except maybe giving him a little MORE attention.

The one thing he certainly doing is assuring that he and Marcus will never, ever be on the same team again (except maybe the Florence All-Stars). In fact, twins, even brothers, may never find themselves on the same team again (in the NBA).

Ruining it for all twins. How about that. The Suns started the twin thing (Van Arsdales) and ended it.

As a twin the Morri's behaviour is embarrassing. And it did result in a lot of 'twinist' comments on this board (prejudice against twins). They kinda showed the best case (2 seasons ago- both their games improved) and worst case scenario of when you pair brothers together.

One of the main issues is I think we suffered from issues like the Denver Nuggets did recently. Many good players but no star - which leads to some of the good players thinking they should be the star/leader. This is amplified in the twins case because its not just internal dialogue but they probably talked to each other openly about this.

The results obviously were not good. I hope first thing at media day, Tyson Chandler punches Markieff right in the face to set the tone for the season

https://twitter.com/careystephen/status/641432178576896000 I'm surprised they had John Leuer out there. I knew they'd have Bledsoe in the new black uniform though. I'm sure we'll get some better pics later but snapped a screenshot real quick. They'll wear the black uniforms 13 times this year in honor of Nash (or something.)
