Houston Rockets Trade Rumors: Terrence Jones Phoenix Bound In Exchange For Markieff Morris?

The Houston Rockets, after a horrendous start, is now having a three-game winning streak but rumors suggest that they want to shake up the roster a bit by making a trade.

According to ESPN, the Rockets are interested in acquiring Phoenix Suns forward, Markieff Morris who is said to be still unhappy in his stint in Phoenix.

This was after his twin brother, Marcus, was traded to Detroit without the Suns asking him for his opinion. It is worth noting that he agreed to a 4-year, $32 Million deal just so he can play with his brother.

But, things are different now and his brother is having a good time at Detroit. Marcus wants his brother, to get his head back in the game so he can enjoy playing basketball again.

"He just don't look comfortable," Marcus Morris said. "He don't look too excited."

"I feel like I'm enjoying where I'm at. I hope he goes somewhere where he's happy too, so we both can play basketball, get back to playing normal."

Should the Rockets make the move, forward Terrence Jones is said to be one of the main components of the deal. As for the time the deal will probably be made, ESPN noted that Dec. 15 will be the time players who signed new contracts will now be eligible for trades and this will provide all teams plenty of options.

Meanwhile, GM Daryl Morey said he doesn't want to make a move as much as possible since he believes this team jus needs to get their focus back together. But, with owner GM Leslie Alexander demanding the team to win now, he just might be forced to do so.
