It’s over.
Markieff Morris is no longer a member of the Phoenix Suns. The Suns traded the fifth-year forward to the Washington Wizards in exchange for veterans DeJuan Blair and Kris Humphries and a protected 2016 first-round draft pick.
Morris has been a source of frustration for the organization and its fan base since last season. Needless to say, many fans are happy that the deal to ship the former Kansas star out of town went down.
Here’s a sampling of the reaction:
Not sure if the Wizards will be happy with their trade for Markieff Morris. Great player, major head case.
