NBA Rumors: Phoenix Suns Nearing Extensions With Morris Twins
NBA Rumors
After a summer of see-sawing with restricted free agent Eric Bledsoe, the Phoenix Suns are wasting no time trying to close in on contract extensions with both Marcus and Markieff Morris.
According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, an agreement between the three parties could be completed soon, and could be announced as soon as Monday.

Marcus averaged 9.7 points and nearly four rebounds per game and Markieff averaged nearly 14 points and six rebounds per game last season, both with the Phoenix suns.
Who would’ve guessed that twins on the same team, in the NBA, would end up getting the exact same amount of money on a contract extension. That’s either pretty cool, or really smart. Probably both.
How can one brother get jealous over the other one if both are getting paid the same amount of money?
Pretty cool, either way, though.
