NBA Trade Rumors: New York Knicks Making A Play For Goran Dragic
By Tony Fischer
Goran Dragic has said he wants the New York Knicks to be among the teams vying for his services. The Knicks have apparently heard his cries and have made an offer to obtain the Suns disgruntled point guard.
Via Yahoo Sports:
"After informing the Suns that Dragic wouldn’t sign an extension this summer, agent Bill Duffy delivered McDonough and management a list of preferred trade destinations that includes the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Miami Heat, league sources told Yahoo Sports."
According to a tweet by NBA insider Chris Broussard, the Knicks have offered a pair of guards in package for Dragic.

With an already overcrowded backcourt, this trade offers absolutely no value for the Phoenix Suns unless the Knicks are willing to throw in a draft pick. That said it may be the best they can get considering Goran Dragics recent comments have the Suns feet dangerously close to the fire.
The only way this package could offer any value to the Suns is if a third team gets involved that can throw in the big man the Suns have looking for. Otherwise the Suns might have no choice but to add a couple more guards to a roster that desperately needs help in the paint.
