Don't want either Morris on team......whining and moaning

But you're missing the point. He's not upset because Marcus was traded, he's upset because he was betrayed by the Suns. Goran Dragic would say the same thing.

They took a discount to stay together. Markieff could have easily not signed an extension and make more than what he's making right now next year, but they took a massive paycut to stay together, and Phoenix obliged, only to trade Marcus a year later.

Sure, they have to realize at some point that they can't live together. But this is more about betrayal than actually being separated with Marcus. The team he's in stabbed in him the back, while restricting him financially.

Add to it that the owner called him a privileged millennial as to why he's acting out (completely ignoring the fact that his team did this. Anyone would be upset with that.

I would be scared they'd want to play together. Some twins are just like that.

I'd do that trade, but the Suns would have to be really desperate to get rid of Morris to give up him and a first rounder for two lesser players.  I don't think it's out of the question, but it's unlikely.  From our end, the best case is we straighten Morris out and get an upgrade at PF and a first rounder.  Worst case, he keeps acting out, we send him home and negotiate a buyout.  If that's the case we get a first rounder for a guy who probably isn't coming back anyway, and open up some playing time for Mickey.
