McD and Horny answered question after question about Kieff. There was no anger but also no apologies. McD said he does not consult with players about trades and that is not going to change. Said they followed their team procedure when notifying Marcus about the trade. Called the agent, didn't know what happened after that.

PJ Tucker: Said that the player that is going to surprise everyone is Jon Leuer. Said he has an all-around game and is very athletic. Rebounds, scores, shoots defends.

Horny: Last year's players did not buy into the system and doubted they could win. These players are motivated and buy in.

Good stuff, thanks JC

McDonough said Booker would be the surprise.

 

[FArting]

I like Kieffs attitude.

Maybe Majerle gave him some tips.

I'm willing to forgive him.

 

[Chaplin]

Unfortunately Greg Esposito is just terrible on-air talent.

glad Kieff actually acted like a professional.

Markieff Morris:

"I want to be here," Morris said.

"I'm looking forward to the season, not really trying to look at the past," Morris said. "I don't really want to talk about what I did in the summer. I really want to look forward to this up-and-coming season. Glad to be back with my teammates and glad to be back with the team."

When asked about his discord with the front office, Morris said, "It's between us and we're going to deal with it."


So much for the media day circus. Nothing to see here, everyone go back to your business.

Wow, at my most optimistic I figured he'd say "no comment".

Good for Kieff to pull up his big boy pants.

 

[sunsfan88]

Nice. I think spending some time with Tyson Chandler may have changed his mind. Or Suns told him to shut up in order to increase his trade so they can deal him later.

Either way this is probably the best case scenario.

That's probably his agent slapping him in the face and bringing him back to reality.

 

[Ronin]

Nice to see Markieff act like a professional.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nice to see Markieff act like a professional.

Agree. He said he would act like a professional when the Suns began organized activities. Nice to see it happening thus far.

 

[JS22]

Nothing more than Markieff's agent finally telling him to act like a professional so he doesn't kill his value even more. I'm sure he'll still be a PITA behind the scenes a few weeks into the season.

 

[Zobaczcie suki]

Way to go Kieff, now get us some double doubles! Nice to see some maturity.

 

[FArting]

I like that Eric is committed.

He wants the Suns to be a 4th or 5th seed.

 

[sunsfan88]

Why does everyone on the Suns keep saying Tyson won "multiple championships".

I noticed that at least 3 players and Hornacek said that.

Am I wrong or did Chandler only win one title with the Mavs in 2011?

Um. Body language. Facial expression. "I am lying"

Somebody showed Kieff Mark McGuire's congressional testimony.

Everything is cured by winning, though...and I'm sure that's what the Suns are counting on.

If they get off to a slow/bad start, then all bets are off and Kieff will be on the trade table.

Oh. He's on the trade table right now. Make no mistake.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

His body language is def telling the story. He acts like POW forced to read a statement. The Suns were gonna fine Keef if he didnt show and speak with the media and one thing he probably loves more than FOE is money.

 

[Mainstreet]

I understand Markieff was in a awkward situation on Media Day based upon what transpired after his brother being traded, however, his interview was one of the shortest I've seen. I'm wondering if there was video left out.

 

[FArting]

He doesn't like to speak to the Media.

he just doesn’t like talking to media. Don’t read too much into it.
