Phoenix Suns point guard Brandon Knight is eager to play with Markieff Morris in the upcoming 2015-16 NBA season, but he knows anything can happen before the new season begins.

Knight played 11 games with Morris last season after he was dealt from the Milwaukee Bucks. They were not able to share a lot of playing time last season after Knight was slowed down by an ankle injury.

Entering his first full season in Phoenix after signing a fresh five-year deal this offseason, Knight said that he is excited to play with Morris again, but he added that he knows NBA is still a business.

"If he stays with us, we'd definitely love to have him," Knight told SiriusXM NBA Radio, referring to Morris. "Great player. I'm looking forward to playing with him. But if not, it's a business."

Knight, who is scheduled to get $70 million over the next five years, indicated that he knows the reason behind the trade request, but the 23-year-old playmaker said that he is still hoping the Suns and Morris will settle the issues.

"I just want Markieff to be happy," Knight said. "That's the main thing. I love him as a player. I love his game. So as of now, I'm excited to play for him."

Morris has made it no secret that he wants out of Phoenix after his twin brother -- Marcus Morris -- was sent to the Detroit Pistons in salary-dumping trade last month. The Suns traded Marcus Morris as part of their planned pursuit of All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who eventually signed with the San Antonio Spurs.

Markieff Morris clarified that he is happy for Marcus Morris because his twin brother is expected to get more minutes in Detroit, but he was frustrated by the way the Suns handled the situation last month. The twin brothers were on vacation and were reportedly not informed about the possible move before it materialized.

"I've been there the longest, and I don't get the respect to be like, 'Yo Keef, we are going to trade your brother. You are our future power forward.' I'm the future power forward. I'm the premier player of the team," Morris told reporters via Philly.com. "That's just how business is done I guess."

Morris, who will play in the first year of his fresh four-year deal worth $32 million, is coming off the best season of his career. The 25-year-old former Kansas standout averaged 15.3 points on 46.5 percent shooting on top of 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game last season.
