Though there were conflicting reports about what the Phoenix Suns wanted to do with Goran Dragic, he’s reportedly made it clear that he does not want to remain with the team. Dragic wants to be traded and if he isn’t, he says he will not re-sign with the Suns this summer. The NBA trade deadline is tomorrow which means the Suns don’t have much time to get a deal done, but Dragic has also made it clear which teams he prefers.

Goran Dragic wants out of Phoenix.
According to two people with knowledge of the situation, the representatives for the Phoenix Suns point guard told team officials in a Tuesday meeting that he has no plans to re-sign in Phoenix this summer as a free agent.
The main issue, according to one of the people, is that Dragic wants to run his own team with the kind of freedom and support given to someone like Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.
The Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and New York Knicks are among the teams on the list of Dragic’s preferred destinations. The Houston Rockets whose shown great interest in Dragic are not on the list.
