The first comments out of the Phoenix Suns on Markieff Morris' trade wishes were hopes for his happiness from a short-time teammate, Brandon Knight.
Knight, talking from his home in Florida, told SiriusXM NBA Radio on Friday, "Just want him to be happy," in regard to Morris. Limited by an ankle injury, Knight played 11 games with Morris last season but he was around the team for the final two months of the season. Knight, 23, re-signed to remain with the Suns for a five-year, $70 million contract.

"That's really all I can speak on that matter -- just want him to be happy," Knight told Jared Greenberg and Rick Fox on "Off the Dribble" after Morris went public with his desire to leave the Suns this week.
