Goran Dragic prefers a trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks or Miami Heat, but the Phoenix Suns are much more focused on holding discussions with the Boston Celtics, Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings.
Dragic will be a free agent this offseason and both the Knicks and Lakers will have cap space to make a four-year, max offer.

"I don't trust them any more," said Dragic on Wednesday to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic in reference to the Suns' front office.
Carmelo Anthony will be ruled out by the New York Knicks for the remainder of the season.

Amick reports that there are thought to be seven or eight teams seriously interested in Dragic and that he also wants to be given the freedom and support to run his own team such as Stephen Curry's situation with the Golden State Warriors.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and Miami Heat are on Dragic's list.
