The Phoenix Suns point-guard controversy is interesting because they have 4 of them. They have Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe, Isiah Thomas, and rookie Tyler Ennis, not to mention Goran’s brother Zoran Dragic. The distribution of minutes has been tough for the Suns and now it looks as if some teams want to relieve the Phoenix Suns of some pressure.
According to Ken Berger of CBSSports.com:
The Phoenix Suns, who visited the lowly Knicks on Saturday, are in a bit of a quagmire with free agent-to-be Goran Dragic, rival executives say. Multiple teams already are inquiring as to what it would take to break up the Suns’ three-headed guard rotation of Dragic, Eric Bledsoe and Isaiah Thomas — with Dragic, a prospective free agent, garnering the most attention. Coincidentally, executives have gotten the impression that Dragic is the one Phoenix would most like to keep if they do, indeed, decide to make a move. …
The anticipated rise in the salary cap resulting from the NBA’s $24 billion TV deal has bolstered Phoenix’s hopes of re-signing Dragic, which they fully intend to do, a league source said. But in the meantime, they’ll listen to offers as they try to establish his value on the open market and what it will cost to pay him.
The team to watch here is Houston, which has been after Dragic since he left as a free agent in 2012.
The Rockets really are lacking in the point-guard area. Patrick Beverley is a hard-nosed tough defender, but he can’t really play the role of a PG. They will probably push hard, if Goran Dragic, does infact join James Harden and Dwight Howard they would be a tough team to matchup to.
A couple of other teams that would be really interested in a point-guard would be the Sacramento Kings, Miami Heat, and other teams lacking in the guard spot.
