Question: The February 24, 2011 traded player from the Suns played for which two countries before playing in the United States?
Context: Bilateral relations between China and Italy date back to Imperial China and Ancient Rome but the ties between Italy and the People's Republic of China only formally began on 6 November 1970.  News of Italy's recognition of the People's Republic of China and consequent breaking of formal relations with the Republic of China on Taiwan spurred other European countries such as Austria and Belgium to consider similar moves.  Italian Foreign Minister Pietro Nenni presented the proposal for the recognition of China in January 1969.  The Italian Communist Party had invited Chinese representatives to attend their 1969 party congress; however, the Chinese side declined the invitation.  The United States maintained a major influence in commercial relations between the two countries; for example, Italy had to seek U.S. approval to sell eighty dump trucks to China in July 1970.  The two countries exchanged ambassadors in February of the following year. Goran Dragić (born 6 May 1986) is a Slovenian professional basketball for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  He plays at both the point guard and shooting guard positions.  He played professional basketball in Slovenia and Spain before entering the NBA in 2008.  Dragić has played for the Phoenix Suns twice, the Houston Rockets, and the Miami Heat.  He was an All-NBA Third Team selection and the NBA Most Improved Player in 2014. Kazakhstan–Pakistan relations refer to the bilateral relations between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.  Relations between the two countries began when Pakistan recognized Kazakhstan on December 20, 1991.  On February 24, 1992, diplomatic and consular relations were established during an official visit by Kazakhstani president Nursultan Nazarbayev to Pakistan.  Kazakhstan is an emerging market for Pakistani goods. The 2010–11 Phoenix Suns season was the 43rd season for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association (NBA).  For the first time in eight seasons, the Suns will be without the play of power forward Amar'e Stoudemire, a 5-time All-Star and former Rookie of the Year who joined the New York Knicks in the summer.  The Suns traded Jason Richardson on December 18, 2010 as part of a trade that brought Vince Carter to the Suns.  On February 24, 2011, the Suns traded Goran Dragić and the draft pick they got earlier from Orlando in exchange for Aaron Brooks.  Alvin Gentry was head coach and the Suns played their home games at US Airways Center. The Federated States of Micronesia and Palau share very good relations, as they are both bound by Compacts of Free Association with the United States.  Palau decided not to join Micronesia when it became independent in 1986, due to language and other cultural differences.  Palau became independent in 1994.  Micronesian citizens may stay one year in Palau without a visa and a Palauan citizen may stay in Micronesia indefinitely without a visa.  The two countries support each other as well as the United States and the Marshall Islands, another country in free association with the United States.  The two countries also often support Israel, similar to the United States and the Marshall Islands. Bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States began in 1933 when full diplomatic relations were established.  Despite the differences between the two countries—an ultraconservative Islamic absolute monarchy, and a secular, democratic republic—the two countries have been allies.  In recent years, the two countries have occasionally been described as having a "Special Relationship" with one another.  Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have close and strong relations with senior members of the Saudi Royal Family. American-South Vietnamese relations refers to relations between South Vietnam and the United States.  The two countries played a major role during the Vietnam War.  Relations between the two countries began on February 7, 1950 when the United States began recognising the State of Vietnam. The relations between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922–1991) succeeded the previous relations from 1776 to 1917 and predate today's relations that began in 1992.  Full diplomatic relations between the two countries were established late due to mutual hostility.  During World War II, the two countries were briefly allies.  At the end of the war, the first signs of post-war mistrust and hostility began to appear between the two countries, escalating into the Cold War; a period of tense hostile relations, with periods of détente. The Brazil–United States Treaty was a military assistance agreement signed in 1952 in Rio de Janeiro between the two countries, with the goal of defending the Western Hemisphere.  Military relations between the United States and Brazil date back to World War II, when Brazil supported the Allied effort in the invasion of Italy in 1942.  Brazil provided troops for the invasion.  On January 3, 1952, The Brazilian government issued decree 30363 establishing new government regulations.  These new regulations allowed for the return of foreign capital that was invested in Brazil and profit remittances on that capital.  Shortly after, representatives from the United States and representatives from Brazil started to negotiate a bilateral military assistance agreement in Rio de Janeiro on January 3, 1952.  The document outlining the agreement between the two countries would be signed on March 15, 1952.  The agreement went into effect on May 19, 1952.  During the time of the negotiations, Major General Charles L. Mullins, Jr. negotiated a separate military plan with the Brazilian Government.  The plan was approved on March 14, 1952 by the Secretary of Defense Lovett.  In a private ceremony on March 15, 1952 United States Major General Mullins and Brazilian General Monteiro signed the military plan that outlined a common defense between the two nations.  The agreement allowed major weapons and training by the United States military to the Brazilian military.  This tenuous alliance governed the two nations bilateral ties during the events of the Cold War.  However, the alliance was short lived, and suffered several major blows between the two nations during the military coup in Brazil in 1964.  During this time the United States still provided military support and training to the side that supported the United States. The China–Philippines relations (; Filipino: "Ugnayang Tsina at Pilipinas" ) refers to the bilateral relations between the China and the Philippines.  Relations between the two countries gradually improved over the years since the initiative of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos to support communism in mainland China while battling a communist insurgency in the Philippines.  China withdrew support for Filipino communists due to this.  However, relations between the two countries have suffered due to the worsening South China Sea dispute.  The current president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, aims at remedying relations between the Philippines and China at the expense of the former's relationship with the United States, the Philippines' national territorial integrity as seen when the Filipino foreign minister paved way for China's expansionism, and a stronger ASEAN voice, leaving Vietnam at the forefront.
