” – 2:36 PM Markieff Morris’ reaction to Kyrie Irving’s trade request: “You want my honest? ” Yes. “Well, I was just hoping I was getting traded with him. ” Why? “I just wanted somewhere I could have the opportunity to play. …. just a lot going on, man. I just want to play basketball. ” – 2:32 PM Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon Markieff Morris’ reaction when he heard Kyrie Irving requested a trade: “I was just hoping that I was traded with him. I just wanted somewhere I could have the opportunity to play. I didn’t really play at all this year being in Brooklyn.
– A coach with the cache to get him to buy into a smaller role (10-15 mins). – Deep defensive roster since he doesn’t really guard anyone. To me, that sounds like the Clippers. – 4:02 PM Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan Think Luka might like it better with a Morris brother as his teammate instead? Markieff: “I think I like it that way, too. ” – 2:47 PM Markieff Morris on past issues between Luka Doncic and twin brother Marcus: “There’s no personal beef, no vendetta. That’s just how we play sometimes. We might foul the shit out of you. It just is what it is.
… Some people might call it dirty. I just call it playing tough. ” – 2:42 PM Morris also, despite being from Philly, says he’s a big Cowboys fan. Another reason he’ll fit in well in Dallas, besides his ties to Kidd and Dudley. Fully Morris Q&A coming soon. – 2:42 PM Markieff Morris said he was on the phone with Kevin Durant, 5 minutes after leaving the Nets’ facility Sunday, when the trade news broke: “He was asking me ‘Did you see the Kyrie trade? ’ I was like, ‘No, I didn’t, ’ but now I know, and then two minutes later my agent called me.
… I just want to play basketball. ” – 2:26 PM Post-shootaround is Maxi Kleber time. Next Tuesday will mark exactly 2 months out from right hamstring surgery, and he’s aiming to return just after the All-Star break, though hasn’t ruled out playing before. Will be huge boost for Mavs’ defense with Dorian Finney-Smith gone. pic. twitter. com/3qRXnn7d2l – 2:25 PM Morris says he, too, was hoping to be traded from Brooklyn. And thrilled to find out it was Dallas. He played for Kidd and with Jared Dudley as a Laker. – 2:16 PM In regards to a KD trade, I’d cross off the Celtics and Jaylen Brown. Seems many forgot Brown called out Joe Tsai multiple times and insinuated some things about the Nets owner during Kyrie’s suspension.

Markieff Morris: What it’s like to play with Kyrie Irving and why he, too wanted a trade dallasnews. com/sports/maveric… – 4:26 PM Erik Slater @erikslater_ D’Angelo Russell is an expiring contract, so the Lakers could be opening up cap space for Kyrie this summer. Or they could bring D’Lo back because they retain his bird rights. – 4:03 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS The ideal Russell Westbrook buyout destination would have… – Great shooting to maximize his drives.
