The Phoenix Suns are asking for more than a first round pick in exchange for Markieff Morris.

The Suns are motivated to trade Morris and have no intention to bring him back next season, but they're holding out for a future first round pick and a young player.

The Suns could elect to wait until the offseason to complete a trade of Morris, who has three years and $24 million remaining on his contract.

The Suns already have five first round picks in the next three drafts and nine over the next six years.
