One player to keep an eye on is not Phoenix Suns guard Goran Dragic, but his teammate Miles Plumlee. There is already a Plumlee brother playing in New York — Mason Plumlee with the Brooklyn Nets — but there could be another with the New York Knicks interested in Miles Plumlee at the trade deadline. Of course, what’s a massive trade rumor without the Los Angeles Lakers also being involved with an angle of their own?

According to Sam Amick from USA Today, the Phoenix Suns aren’t interested in trading Goran Dragic but they could field offers for Miles Plumlee instead — especially with the Knicks and Lakers interested in his services.

Plumlee has been great for the Suns, but the front office in Phoenix needs to figure out the direction of the team moving forward. It’s a roster stacked with young talent, which is why we’re hearing rumors about studs like Dragic, Plumlee and others.

Both Los Angeles and New York need a young star to throw into their building process but neither really have that much to offer. New York dealt away most of their trade chips in the J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert trade with Cleveland and they no longer have Amare Stoudemire to dangle.

There are way to make a trade, but the Lakers seem like a more likely destination — but that’s not to say the have much more to offer.

Trading for Miles Plumlee is going to be hard to come by, but it’s not an impossible deal. If the Lakers or Knicks really want to make it happen they will but the Suns won’t just settle for any old offer.
