Back in early July, the Phoenix Suns decided to trade Marcus Morris to the Detroit Pistons. Morris expressed early on that he was unhappy about being traded away from his brother Markieff Morris without consent, and it appears as though the negative sentiment isn’t going to change any time soon.
During a twitter conversation with Archie Goodwin early Friday, Morris used the word “clowns” to describe the Suns organization, prompting many negative reactions from fans.
Having seen enough, Morris decided to get defensive and promised to block most of those followers:
I’m blocking most of the Suns fans on my timeline ???????????????????? most of them bandwagon any way ????????????. I still got love for some #foe

Markieff Morris signed a four-year deal last year with the Suns, so he doesn’t really have much of a choice in terms of where he gets to play. Based on what his brother is saying in the tweets above, though, it appears as though a trade demand could potentially be in the works if he is as unhappy as Marcus Morris is. Presumably, family knows best.
