The Suns summer was well…eventful. With Media Day kicking off the Suns 2015 season, all eyes and ears were on Markieff Morris. The small forward made it VERY clear he did not want to be in Phoenix after the Suns traded his brother, Marcus, to the Detroit Pistons. So does Markieff still want to be traded? I’ll let him answer.
Suns general manager Ryan McDonough was unapologetic in the moves they made this offseason. Though, he understands Keef’s frustration:

The Suns begin training camp Tuesday and open the preseason against the Kings on October 7th.
