Depending on who you believe, Goran Dragic could be traded by the Phoenix Suns in a matter of hours. The point guard has reportedly given the Suns a list of teams he’d prefer to be traded to, but the Suns aren’t interested in accommodating Dragic in that regard.
So while the Lakers, Heat and Knicks are on Dragic’s wishlist it’s the Kings, Rockets and Celtics with whom the Suns have discussed a Goran Dragic trade.
Yahoo Sources: Suns much more focused on discussing Dragic deals w/ Celtics, Rockets, Kings, among others, than any teams on guard’s list.

While playing in a big market like Los Angeles, Miami or New York is understood none of those teams have the assets that the Kings, Rockets or Celtics have and the Suns are all about getting the best return they can in a Goran Dragic trade.
Of course, considering Dragic is a free agent at season end, those teams who aren’t on his prefered list are taking a huge risk by trading away youth for a player who may not re-sign at season end. Of course, money talks and any acquiring team will also get Goran Dragic’s Bird Rights allowing them to offer him the most money out of all NBA teams.
