The tension between starting power forward Markieff Morris and the Phoenix Suns has not diminished and Thursday night he tweeted: "My future will not be in Phoenix.... #thatisall #backtothegrind #FOE."

At this point, the Suns can force him to show up when training camp opens later this month and have this tense situation hang over the team, or they can trade him and move on. Many followers of the team are hoping the Suns deal the disgruntled player as soon as possible. From Dave King of Bright Side Of The Sun:

"They have already witnessed how player unrest can ruin a season. Even an otherwise very nice person can ruin a season by complaining about their role and failing to commit 100% to making it work. Imagine what Markieff could do if he put his mind to it. Markieff Morris will very likely divide the locker room. I'm not saying he will overtly name names of his friends versus his adversaries. But he will have his friends in his corner, and with the #FOE attitude he will encourage them to make a choice between him and the Suns as a franchise. Archie Goodwin is very close with Markieff. So is Eric Bledsoe. And P.J. Tucker. And probably others as well. The other half the locker room will just go about their business. They will either try to straddle the fence, or will end up in the coaches' corner. Or, they go to the dark side. Either way, the locker room will be a mess. The Suns have to trade Markieff Morris. They know it. He knows it. His agent knows it. Or they might as well forget about a harmonious season."

Morris is set to earn $8 million for 2015-16, which is the first season of his four-year, $32 million extension.
