Agent Tony Dutt said Markieff Morris returned to Kansas to train but soon will work out with former NBA player Pooh Richardson.

Dutt also has asked a former client, Shawn Kemp, to play with Morris this summer.

Markieff Morris is being pursued by Panathinaikos to fill their spot at the power forward position.

Tony Dutt, agent for Morris, said talks with Panathinaikos are “moving along” but nothing is imminent.

Dutt said he would pursue an out clause so that Morris could return to the Suns if the lockout ends.

Mickael Pietrus has received four serious offers to play overseas, according to his agent. But he is not interested unless the NBA season is canceled.

It would be easier for him to play in Europe than most NBA players because of his French passport.

"He just wants to get ready for the NBA season and hope for the best," his agent Bill McCandless said.

Bill McCandless said his client Mickael Pietrus had a right knee arthroscopy to remove loose bodies almost three weeks ago in France and will be finished with rehabilitation by the end of this month.

"One piece of loose cartilage was lodged in a spot that impinged his movement and caused him pain during the season," McCandless said. "He says he's much, much better. The good news is he's been forced to work. He has his strength back and no pain."

 McCandless said the Suns received trade offers for Pietrus in June, including one offer that he was surprised they declined.

"He's good with being back in Phoenix or fine to be traded," McCandless said. "He just wants to play."
