PHOENIX (AP) – The Phoenix Suns top front office people reacted with indignation to Goran Dragic’s parting shot at them and elation at their ability to replace him with Brandon Knight in the team’s trading deadline frenzy.
The Suns pulled off three trades, sending five players away in what was characterized as a move to reduce selfishness and improve the team’s lagging chemistry.
At a news conference on Friday, Suns president Lon Babby called ”a very productive and great day for us.”
Phoenix sent Dragic and his brother Zoran to Miami, Isaiah Thomas to Boston and Miles Plumlee and Tyler Ennis to Milwaukee.
Knight, at 23 five years younger than Dragic, will team with fellow ex-Kentucky player Eric Bledsoe in what still will be a two -point guard lineup.
