    Back on topic, I hope we get Markieff. He's a solid player and more of the prototypical stretch 4 we need

    Wonder if PNX consider suspend him for rest of the season and teach the lesson in case he don't apologise.

    Just catching up on the last few pages of this thread.

    What a joke! Take this **** to the D&D and bigtexx would happily oblige.

    It's absolutely ridiculous for Morris to be asked to apologize in person rather than by Twitter and text message...

    Hornacek: Apologize.

    Morris: Me? To you?

    (next scene: Morris hanging upside down from window by Hornacek / Suns GM, held by the ankles)

    Morris: I apologize. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was quite uncalled for and was totally without basis in fact, nor was it "fair comment" and I deeply regret any distress my actions may have caused to you or your family....and I hereby undertake not to commit such slander at any time....

    Hornacek: (thinks, then...) Okay.

    I know it sounds childish but the one who is unprofessional is the player here. I like that a team wont let a player b**** and moan like a diva his way out of town so easilly esp if he cant do the basic stuff like not freaking hitting his coach. And he could t cooperate for even three months to play well and not tank until the trade deadline.

    Who is Marcus playing next to?

    Marcus isn't regressing but he isn't really improving either.

    Yup..... it just tells me that the Suns are not serious about chemistry or the authority of the coach. Morris isn't going to suddenly change. If it bother you, then you trade him.

    The problem is that the actions of Morris are probably hurting the Suns and undermining the coach and front office. I know that the Suns want to get the best possible deal for Morris, but with a young and impressionable team and a young coach, you don't want a malcontent on the sidelines.

    The coach and the front office are not undermined by morris now. It was even worse last year. Now its only one player last year it was multiple players and the coach should have been gone right then and there. Trading morris will solve nothing on its own because the coach has proven he cant command the respect of most of his players. As for the young players most of them were the last year too.
    And besides if u gonna be asked to trade assets to get rid of him or take back contracts why do it exactly??? Because a diva ass wants to leave? Nope. Suspend him again and again or send him home to rot

    No argument w/any of your post.

    However, to your last comment, there is a PA and a CBA and it sounds good while being undoable. Too bad. I'd like hisskillz but not 'hisself'.

    If they want to send him home to rot or suspend him, that is fine. You don't want him on the sidelines and interacting with the other players.

    As for Hornacek, even if they get rid of him, they will have to get rid of Morris as well. You don't want him back next season.

    Winning teams cut bait on guys like that. If they don't fit in and cause problems, they are moved out.

    When morris twins went to the court do yoy know who started handling their case and tried to pay the victim and burry it from the press? The suns pobo who is a sly fox a (i think) criminal defence laywer. I am 100% sure thwt the team has enough dirt on the morris to cause them tons of problems. And thats how negotiations are done. If morris wants to go to the pa the suns will call the press and the police.
    I know thats how my other team made sanders take a good buyout. They had dirt on him.

    Lawson has gotten better month by month but it still isn't close to where it needs to be. He has been playing better as of late as well. The Rockets are not going anywhere without Lawson being a 30 minute a game contributor.
