Houston is sending veteran forward Ryan Anderson and 2018 second-round pick De'Anthony Melton to the Suns for third-year forward Marquese Chriss and veteran guard Brandon Knight, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The trade reunites Anderson with former Rockets forward Trevor Ariza, who signed with the Suns earlier in the summer.
