This Kieff situation is sooooooooooo embarrassing.

Jerry would have ditched him so fast it would make your head spin.

Funny that for YEARS we hard Sarver claim he was ditching people (Joe Johnson, Bryan Colangelo etc) who "didnt want to be here".

Now Kieff doesnt want to be here and they wont get rid of him.

Jerry would have been smart enough to wait until he got what he felt was equal value for him though.

There were plenty of players who were here that wanted out during Jerry's time, from those who chaffed under MacLeod's restrictions (Westphal, DJ), to those who just bitched and moaned until they got shipped (Jayson Williams & Barkley).

Just because a player wants to be traded doesn't mean he has the leverage to force you into a bad deal.

Yep, we've got to take our time and see how it plays out. We don't want to rush it and take a bad deal just to be out of the situation.

McDonough is on the record about Markieff now. Doesn't say much other than they expect him to be professional and play.

Marcus acting the part of a legendary leader again.

Apparently we had LeBron James on the team didn't realize it. These guys have inferiority complexes.

In other words, the Suns completely expect Morris to be on the Opening Night roster Oct. 28.

“Correct,” said McDonough in his first comments since Morris went public with his request to be traded. “Nobody wants to trade for a player with the emotional maturity of a three-year-old. We’re stuck with him.”
Wow, he really laid it all out there. :twisted:

Marcus sure knows how to talk. Too bad he rarely shows it on the court. PJ might be a better defender? Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Remember when Marcus was offended that coach said he needed to work on his defense? This guy is a joke.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess both Morrii are supporting Trump for President.

Playing the "it's everyone else's fault" card, who does that sound like? I don't have the stomach anymore to follow politics.

When you put it that way, it sounds like... all of them.

I think McD is playing this perfectly.

BTW. If there had been ANY inkling doubt about getting rid of Marcus, he sealed it with that interview. Wow, what an ego-maniac. He got his chance to start when PJ was suspended at the beginning of last year. He failed to make the case.

Nearly every "hero ball" pick-up bball player I have encountered suffers from this.

Why would you say that? Trump supporters tend to be ignorant and racist.

The Morrii are claiming to be VICTIMS that were treated unfairly. Thats much more in line with the liberal "black lives matter" movement.

Well, the media circus starts on Monday. It will be interesting to see how the Suns handle Morris. My bet is he's not one of the guys Tom Leander interviews for Suns.com. I see him frowning in the Suns pics if they take them at all. I picture him standing in a corner being bombarded my local media about his agenda. I wonder if the Suns would censor the media and make questions about him wanting to be traded off limits. It will be interesting if nothing else.

It will be interesting.

I had a dream last night that Marcus and Markieff got married to each other.

These guys are a joke. No one is going to take them seriously.

Marcus has now publicly stated that he should have been the starter over PJ.

Apparently the Suns did try to hire Nash to a similar position.
