FWIW Markieff Morris says on Twitter that he’s coming back to the Mavs and wants his brother to join.

@Keefmorris
I’m coming back. I want bro to come with me.

1 Mavs only have 1 roster slot open at the moment (but 2, if they waive Lawson)
2 Mavs don't have enough money for another player at the moment (or only enough for 1 player, after waiving Lawson)
3 The last time the Morris brothers were on the same roster, it was a PR and legal disaster for the Suns, and they both were sent packing. I don't think ANY team would risk that again -- seems like that bridge was burned.
4 Other Morris is the better player, but there is thuggery history between Other M and Luka. Seems like Mavs got the Good M.
5 I do see it as more likely than not that Lawson is waived and the Good M is re-signed, for his clubhouse demeanor.

The numbers with Lawson waived, showing the lack of room for 2 minimum salaries (2.1M each).
