James Harden will consider signing with the Suns if his contract expires after next season.

"Yeah," he said. "Of course. I love it there. My mom lives there still. So that's definitely my second home as far as my comfort level and going to school there. But obviously, I'm with the Thunder right now and what we have is special."

Oklahoma City will be able to match any offer Harden receives.

"That's out of my hands," Harden said. "That's not my decision. That's the front office. I'll let them decide that."

The Hornets have acquired Robin Lopez, Hakim Warrick, and cash considerations from the Suns in exchange for Jerome Dyson, Brad Miller and two 2nd round picks (Brooklyn’s 2013 second round selection and Minnesota’s 2016 second round draft choice) as part of a three-team trade along with the Timberwolves.

Phoenix receives Brad Miller and Jerome Dyson from the Hornets, as well as Wesley Johnson and a 1st round pick from Minnesota.

Minnesota receives Brooklyn’s 2013 2nd round pick and their own 2016 2nd round pick from New Orleans.

“We are very excited about this trade that brings us two quality people and basketball players to help strengthen our foundation as a team,” Hornets General Manager Dell Demps said. “This move gives us a true center in Robin Lopez who brings youth and is a tough, inside rebounder. In Hakim, we get an experienced, versatile forward who will bring a veteran presence to our team.”

While Robin Lopez is likely to be eventually moved to the Hornets in a sign-and-trade, a proposed three-way deal had hit a few bumps as of Wednesday evening.

Phoenix, New Orleans and Minnesota have agreed to the framework of a three-way deal that would send Lopez and Hakim Warrick from the Suns to the Hornets and Wesley Johnson, a first-round pick and Brad Miller's contract to the Suns.

The Suns would waive Miller, who has a buyout of about $800,000 and announced he would retire after last season.

Phoenix would get the first-round pick that Memphis owes Minnesota via Houston.

Lopez and the Hornets have already agreed upon a three-year, $15.3 million contract.

The Hornets are closing in on a sign-and-trade for Robin Lopez.

The deal would be completed as a three-team trade with the Suns and Wolves also involved.

Going to the Hornets along with Lopez will be Hakim Warrick.

Phoenix will acquire Wesley Johnson and a first round pick from the Wolves.

The trade would clear cap space for Minnesota as they pursue Andrei Kirilenko.

The Suns will sign P.J. Tucker to a two-year contract with partial guarantees on the first year.

Tucker will accept less than half of the salary he would have made overseas to join the Suns.

"It's been a long, grueling journey, but it's fulfilling," Tucker, 27, said of his return to the NBA. "I was so resentful in Toronto because I wasn't playing much. I was throwing fits. I was so young-minded. I didn't get the big picture or that it's a business.

“You have to understand your role on a team. You see kids come after you and do the same thing. So many never play and say they got screwed by the GM or coach. When you can be real with yourself and understand why, that's really when it comes to life."

The Hornets are attempting to execute a sign-and-trade for Robin Lopez.

Lopez is a restricted free agent and the Suns want to re-sign him.

The two sides have been unable to come to agreement on terms.

The Suns beat the Grizzlies by a final score of 96-87 in Summer League play on Saturday.

Markieff Morris had 25 points and 11 rebounds for Phoenix. Kendall Marshall had 15 points and 10 assists and DeShawn Sims had 13 points and five boards.

Josh Selby had 23 points, six assists and six rebounds and Tony Wroten scored 19 points on 8-for-18 for Memphis. Deon Thompson had 14 points and six rebounds.

The D-League Select squad beat the Suns by a final score of 89-75 in Summer League play on Friday.

Chris Daniels had 20 points and eight rebounds and Andre Emmett had 18 points and 10 boards. Mardy Collins had 13 points and nine rebounds for the D-League team.

Markieff Morris had 16 points and six rebounds for Phoenix. Charles Garcia had 11 points and five rebounds and Kendall Marshall had 10 points and six assists.

Alvin Gentry believes Michael Beasley can orchestrate the Suns’ offense.

"I think he can be a go-to facilitator," Gentry said. "We need that guy you can throw the ball to -- not necessarily to score the points but to create situations that lead to points.

"We'll have him handle the ball some in screen-roll situations. We're excited about some of the versatility he brings our team."

Beasley, 23, addressed his troubled past, including his history with controlled substances.

"Everybody has a lot of ups and downs," he said. "I've had a lot of downs. Sometimes to keep from crying, you have to laugh.

"I realize 10 minutes of feeling good is not worth putting my life, my career, my legacy in jeopardy.”
