Kieff being fined $10,000 by the NBA

[Raindog]

This fine by the NBA gave the fans some Suns news today.

Might Markieff be making a point by retweeting the press release that announced his own fine? Anyway, who knows.

See the article by Andrew Joseph at azcentral dated 9-8-15 for more.

Probably intended as a middle finger at the league. He keeps digging a hole.

The season cannot start soon enough. The good news is that everyone, press included, will be so much over the Morris brothers that we all will focus on other things and Kieff can go sulk in the corner.

The problem with Kieff staying is that if he does well, he will just get more full of himself, and if he does poorly, we don't want him.

Honestly, jail might be the best alternative for the Suns as well as the brothers. They need a reality check from someone. Maybe they can get it for a couple months with sheriff Joe at tent city.

Best thing might be a buyout unfortunately.

I guarantee we won't have to buy him out. There are a ton of teams who would take him if the Suns got desperate enough to essentially dump him for nothing.

These were sort of my thoughts as well. He might be tweeting the same message but quoting it from another source so the league cannot do anything.

 

[Chaplin]

I'm curious about what the Players Union is thinking right now? Markieff is really making the players look bad.

 

[JCSunsfan]

We had considered Marcus the bad egg, but Kieff may be.

He was the one shooting people with an airsoft gun out of his dorm window in college too. Wow.

 

[Covert Rain]

You know it's bad when anytime I see a national article with an Arizona team in the title, I cringe at the thought of reading it. LOL.

It bugs me to think about the dirty plays these two morons are going to unleash whenever they play the Suns again, remember what they did to Dragic? These are two of the least professional characters ever to roll through.

Even, my much despised, Beasley was merely unprofessional in an "I'm too stupid to understand the game or how to be an adult" kind of way. The Morris brothers are violent, petty and take every slight personal.

As far as which one is worse, its a draw, they feed off each other. Markieff wasn't a nightmare until his brother showed up. They enable each other and any slight against one twin, no matter how justified, is felt doubly by the other.

I wonder how Len will attest to that if they tried something on him.

Yep. Len, Chandler, Tucker, and even Bledsoe. I think those guys can take care of themselves. The only one I would be worried about would be Knight.

None of those four are what you would call finesse players.

 

[chickenhead]

If they do play dirty against the Suns I'd imagine the officials will have them on a short leash pretty quickly. Their new team won't be too happy about them getting T'd up or ejected.

This. They definitely feed off each other.

Yes. This is it and it explains alot.

This is his reaction to Hornacek's comments at the jersey reveal

He sounds like an eighth-grade girl whose boyfriend just broke up with her.

A pretty accurate guess as to the emotional maturity of the Morri

 

[Mainstreet]

How does one get to the mid-twenties without having learned more from the school of hard knocks?

No way. I would demote him to inactive and let him be shunned by his teammates first. There's no way I pay him to go away after being such a drama queen.

I agree that a buyout is unappealing, but that's even worse. The team's chemistry is bad enough as it is.

I see your point, but perhaps once he realizes the Suns aren't moving him for peanuts and feels like the outcast he'll come around a little. I don't really think Markieff pouting in the corner is going to have much of an effect on anyone else. Hard to see anyone taking his side and causing a rift in the locker room.

The only way I consider a buyout if he would fork over 32 million. Even then, I still would want to trade him.

The legal issues go to court again on Wednesday per a Paul Coro article at azcentral dated 9-11-15.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Joan Sinclair will rule Wednesday on the motion to remand to a new grand jury after also weighing Deputy County Attorney Daniel Fisher's response. The Morris twins are scheduled to appear in court that day but were not present at the previous court hearing.

The problem is, that not only would the Player's Union have a big problem with that, the league itself would fine the hell out of the Suns if they did that. Popovich sat some of his guys for a game for resting purposes and he got hit with fines from the league. What do you think they'd do to us if we made a player inactive simply because he was being a baby?

The only option other than playing him as normal is putting him at the end of the bench and never subbing him in. Not sure that would work either.

 

[Phrazbit]

Lots of teams send malcontents home. The Suns could send Morris home for the next four years and I doubt the league office would care.

Absolutely incorrect.

That would never happen anyway because of the Player's Union.
