Markieff Morris’s Thursday started with him telling the media that he was happy as a Phoenix Sun. Fast-forward past the trade deadline and the Suns decided to finally cut the chord with their malcontent forward by trading him to the Wizards:
PHX trade Markieff Morris to WAS for protected 1st-round pick. WAS will send DeJuan Blair & Kris Humphries to PHX. (via multiple reports)

Yes, you are reading that right: the Suns got a first-round pick for a guy who shoved one of his teammate’s last week!
On Markieff’s way out, he decided to style on a hoverboard… until he hit a bump.
