Dec 12, 2015 08:52 PM EST | By Rolly Gacelo

Phoenix Suns' ill-tempered forward Markieff Morris is again the subject of latest NBA trade rumors.

Reports have it that the Suns player will finally get his wish to be traded.

Suitors are already knocking in Phoenix's door and among them are Houston Rockets. However, an NBA columnists suggests Toyota Center might not be the destination of Markieff.

Dan Favale of Bleacher Report thinks Morris should be traded to Memhpis Grizzlies in exchange of JaMychal Green.

"JaMychal Green, just 25 years old, would arrive in Phoenix as a legitimate frontcourt prospect. He has shown he can stroke threes, owns one of Memphis' best net ratings and might have more to offer a team such as Phoenix-as in one that doesn't rank in the bottom 10 of pace."

A former San Antonio Spurs, Green, not to be confused with explosive and exciting forward Jeff Green who is also with Grizzlies, averages 17 minutes per game, 6.5 points per game along with 4.8 rebounds.

Rockets is reportedly among the firsts to inquire about Markieff Morris. NBA trade rumors say the struggling Western Conference team want to swap Terrence Jones for the Suns player who was drafted in 2011.

"The Houston Rockets have trade interest in Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris, who made multiple trade demands this past offseason, according to league sources," ESPN's Marc Stein reported.

"Sources told ESPN.com the Rockets are in the market for roster upgrades in the wake of their disappointing 10-11 start and have Morris on their list of targets, amid a growing belief around the league that the Suns are indeed prepared to finally move Morris."

Although Rockets are frontrunners, other teams are also showing interest.

"Stein cited the Rockets as a potential suitor, indicating they would build a package around Jones," Bleacher Report wrote. "Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania followed up with a report that stated the Pelicans and Suns were working on the framework of an Anderson-Morris swap."
