Rockets reportedly interested in trade for Suns' Markieff Morris

Markieff Morris wasn't happy when the Suns traded his brother Marcus to the Pistons this summer, and was very vocal in criticizing the organization and demanding a trade of his own.

All of that stopped once training camp began, and, at least publicly, Morris has been the consummate team professional.

But his play on the court has been the worst of his career statistically, and in the wake of his being benched for the entire game in a loss to the Grizzlies, ESPN's Marc Stein is reporting that a trade may be in the cards.

The Pistons were also linked to a potential Morris trade back in October, but there's been no news on that front since. 

No deal is likely to be made until Dec. 15, because that's when players signed to new teams over the summer are eligible to be included in trades. But with Morris struggling and the Suns potentially being prepared to move on without him, a change of scenery may ultimately be the best thing for both sides.
