Markieff Morris reportedly wants to be traded after the Phoenix Suns moved his twin brother, Marcus, to the Detroit Pistons earlier in the offseason.

Morris, who has spent his entire four-year career in Phoenix, was reportedly frustrated with the Suns' decision to trade his brother. Burns and Gambo, citing sources close to the situation, revealed that Markieff wants out of Phoenix and has no plans to talk to teammates and team officials.

The Morris brothers have made it no secret that they wanted to play together even before they entered the league four years ago. Marcus told ESPN last month that he was surprised of the trade because he was not informed in advanced. He thought he will play in Phoenix in the coming years with his brother after both of them inked new deals last year.

"Everybody knew how bad I wanted to play with my brother," Marcus Morris said. "Phoenix knew. For them to trade me without consent or telling or anything like that was kind of like a, I would say slap in the face, because of the contract I took from those guys and the money I took from them. That was kind of a slap in the face."

While Marcus Morris has been very vocal about his frustrations, as he even blocked some Suns fan on Twitter, Markieff has kept his emotions private, but sources said that he is indeed looking for a way out of Phoenix.

Gerald Bourguet of Valley of the Suns recently pointed out that Marfkieff Morris has a bright future ahead of him in Phoenix, but also added that a trade is inevitable if the 25-year-old power forward brings tension to the locker room in the upcoming season.

"He has a golden opportunity to be a starter in Phoenix and help a team that should be in the mix for a playoff spot this season," Bourguet wrote, referring to Markieff Morris. "But until we know the potential threat that his discontent poses to the locker room, there's a chance this relationship could head south pretty quickly."

Morris, who will be playing in the first season of his four-year contract extension worth $32 million, is coming off the best season of his career. The former Kansas standout averaged 15.3 points to go along with 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game last season.
