The Phoenix Suns reportedly want a 1st round pick in exchange for Goran Dragic, according to Gery Woelfel.

Hearing Suns want a first-rounder for Goran Dragic and, rest assured, they’ll get it. Rockets got to be tempted. — Gery Woelfel (@GeryWoelfel) February 12, 2015

The Slovenian point guard is averaging 16.2 ppg, 3.6 rpg, and 4.1 apg this season.

The report makes sense considering Phoenix’s position and Dragic’s contract. Dragic, 28, is on the last year of his deal that paid him $8 million a season and is sure to test the free agent market this summer, likely commanding over $12 million per year.

The Suns are currently the 8th seed in the Western Conference, barely hanging on with the Oklahoma City Thunder and New Orleans Pelicans breathing down their necks. The Suns already have Isaiah Thomas and Eric Bledsoe signed to long-term deals, forcing Dragic to play out of position this year at the two guard.

We know the Rockets and GM Daryl Morey have been trying to bring back Dragic for quite some time. Dragic would be a great fit opposite Harden, with his ability to shoot from the outside or drive to the rim and either penetrate or make a tough layup. Though Dragic’s shooting percentages are a bit down, there’s no reason to expect he can’t improve when playing back at his normal position.

If the Suns want a 1st rounder the Rockets may be their best option. The Rockets own the Pelicans lottery pick for this upcoming draft and that’s likely the best 1st rounder they’d be able to find. The Rockets could also sweeten the deal with a plethora of young talent available as well.

The NBA trade deadline is February 19th at 2:00 PM.
