Listening to an old Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast* (Sep 4, 2013) and Spike Esken is talking about a panel he moderated that included Marcus Morris.
He said that Morris said -- on this panel -- that the Rockets gave him, at the 2013 trade deadline the choice of being traded to PHO or BOS. He, of course, chose PHO to be reunited with his brother.
Interesting to me for 3 reasons:
1. That HOU gave him the choice (the other players, per Esken, also remarked "they let you choose?")
2. I don't remember hearing this at the time... does anyone else remember hearing that Marcus Morris was almost dealt here? He was dealt for a 2nd rounder... so it likely woulda been the same.
3. KG, Pierce and Doc all left that summer. Might have been interesting to see what Stevens could have done with Morris' game.
