Phoenix Suns point guard Goran Dragic asks for trade

Goran Dragic, the closest thing to a face of the franchise for the Suns, wants to be traded by Thursday's 1 p.m. deadline, according to multiple league sources after the parties met Tuesday.

Dragic has lost trust in the Suns organization because they have brought in two other point guards, Eric Bledsoe and Isaiah Thomas, and reduced his playmaking role since he returned to Phoenix during free agency in 2012 to be Steve Nash's heir apparent.
