The Los Angeles Lakers lost out on Marcus Morris to the Clippers at the NBA trade deadline. Yet, the "Lake Show" made a wise move in signing twin brother Markieff to a deal once his buyout with the Detroit Pistons became official.

Well, with both Morris brothers now playing in the same city, albeit for different teams, it looks like they'll be back to living under the same roof. Markieff revealed he plans to move in with Marcus, and joked that the two would even carpool.

That's not a bad move, considering the cost of living in Los Angeles.

This will be the first time the twins will be living in the same city together since their time with the Phoenix Suns from 2012-15.

The Lakers, who currently hold the first seed in the Western Conference, were looking to make a move to put them over the edge. They believe that Morris, who averaged 11 points and 3.9 rebounds in 44 games in Detroit, helps them in that right. In the process, they waived big summer signing DeMarcus Cousins, who tore his ACL during the preseason.

Meanwhile, Marcus was having a career-year with the New York Knicks, and the Clippers jumped at the opportunity to acquire him at the trade deadline.
