Suns acquire Knight in 3-team deal
— -- The Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns have agreed to a three-team trade that would send Brandon Knight to Phoenix, Michael Carter-Williams, Miles Plumlee and Tyler Ennis to Milwaukee and draft picks to Philadelphia, a source told ESPN's Marc Stein.
Carter-Williams, the reigning rookie of the year, has struggled from long range this season. He has the second-worst three-point percentage among those who have taken at least 100 3's (25.6 percent) and the third-lowest effective field goal percentage of anyone taking at least 10 shots per game, according to ESPN's Stats & Information.
He took to Twitter Thursday to thank Philadelphia for his time with the Sixers.
In Knight, the Suns are getting an upgrade over Goran Dragic -- who Phoenix dealt to the Heat on Thursday -- by most measures. Knight is averaging more points and assists per game this season, with a higher player efficiency rating and more win shares than Dragic, according to ESPN's Stats & Information.
