    Multiple teams are inquiring about the trade availability of Phoenix Suns guard Goran Dragic, according to Ken Berger of CBSSports.com.

    The Suns, 14-14, have built a three-guard rotation around Dragic, Eric Bledsoe and Isaiah Thomas. According to Berger, it appears Dragic is the guard the Suns would most prefer to keep.

    Dragic, 28, is averaging 16.2 points, 4.2 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 25 games this season. He has a player option after this season and is widely expected to opt out of his $7.5 million contract with the Suns in order to become a free agent.

    How is he on the block if he's the one guy they prefer to keep? Sounds like Thomas and Bledsoe are on the block.

    I still think they should deal him for Monroe.

    Dragic is over rated. I hope someone gets fleeced for him.

    I don't think he's overrated. I think he's a very good point guard. I just don't think he's a star.

    He would actually do well in New York. He would be like the Ron Harper there

    The talk about him has calmed down a bit. But last year some were acting like he should have been in the AllStar game over Dame.

    That's our Ginobli.

    But I'd much rather try to pry away Thomas.

    Part of it too was they were playing really well and both Bledsoe and Dragic were putting up solid stats on a good, surprising team. I think more of the outcry was that neither of them made it and both Lillard and Aldridge got the nod.
