The Phoenix Suns are still reportedly planning to trade Brandon Knight before this season's deadline and the Orlando Magic, New Orleans Pelicans, Brooklyn Nets, and Philadelphia 76ers are all interested in dealing for the veteran point guard.

Bleacher Report noted that Knight, 25, does not "appear to have a future with the (Suns) organization" as Phoenix had chosen to make 20-year-old sophomore guard Devin Booker their future face of the franchise.

Knight has been mentioned in a lot of trade rumors ever since Suns head coach Earl Watson announced that he was going to be demoted to a bench role in favor of Booker at the start of the season.

When the inevitability happened, the trade rumors involving Knight just became louder. Some analysts believe that the speculations will only get louder as this season's February trade deadline draws nearer.

Suns general manager Ryan McDonough recently said that the club prefers to "take at least two months to evaluate" their roster before thinking about trading away anyone in the team. He also said that they are not "actively trying to trade Knight" despite the rumors that they see the former NBA All-Rookie First Teamer as an expensive sixth man off the bench.

Knight is currently in the second year of his five-year, $70 million contract signed in the summer of 2015 which earns him an average of $14 million a year.

CBS Sports reported that the "potential landing spots" for Knight are the Magic, Pelicans, Nets, and Sixers who all have a current need for a point guard in their respective lineups.

Elfrid Payton's struggles as a starting point guard in Orlando are evident while Jrue Holiday is not a consistent force to team up with Anthony Davis in New Orleans.

Meanwhile, the Nets need another starting-caliber point guard as Jeremy Lin is still out with an injury. Brooklyn could offer All-Star center Brook Lopez to get Knight as rumors abound that the Nets are set to go on a full rebuild mode in the coming months.

Philadelphia is also a team in need of roster balance and trading for a reliable combo guard is the best thing that could happen for the Sixers at this time. The Suns could ask for either Nerlens Noel or Jahlil Okafor, two of the best young centers right now, as the Sixers are reportedly planning to deal one of them before the trade deadline.
