Not going to pile on too much, just giving my thoughts on why it's great Markieff is gone even if he had skills to be a good player.
There were so many conflicting reports about him. There was the constant testimony of his coaches and teammates that he was this great guy, yet there was all this evidence to the contrary.
Keef was just way too volatile. His temper was insane and he was always one step away from blowing up. If you have ever known anyone in your life who is like that, you know that it is exhausting to be around that person.
I used to have this friend who was a really great guy 90% of the time. Seriously he was always the life of the party, to this day he is still the biggest ladies man I have ever known. The guy just had all the charm you could ever want he was a super interesting guy and really fun to be around but man,,, he had such a crazy temper.
I hated going anywhere with him because I knew all it was going to take was one little thing and we were going to be into it with someone... And it wasn't just other people it was me and even his brother, those closest to him. You kinda had to walk on eggshells with the guy when he got in one of his moods.
After a while I just had to cut ties with him, even though I still think of him as a friend, it's just too exhausting to have someone around who can blow up at any time.
That's how I see this situation with Markief. He's obviously a skilled basketball players and while all his coaches and teammates swear they liked him, you could just see the distraction it had become. It gets to be like; Ok what's Markieff mad about today... I've heard multiple reports that he's even worse in practice. Can go from laughing and joking to throwing blows in a heartbeat.
So regardless of all the drama and everything else, I think it's going to be very good for the psyche of this entire organization to have him gone. It's not going to do anything to advance the progress of this team in terms of talent on the floor, but it's really
Good luck Keef. I wish you luck, you better get your issues figured out because it's a real shame the way you are letting all this other crap hinder your career.
Go Suns!
