Knight, 23, has been with the Suns since a trade deadline deal in February. He came from the Milwaukee Bucks, where he had made a strong case for an All-Star selection.
With the Suns, Knight played in only 11 games. Injuries limited his time on the court over the final two months of the season.
Knight averaged 13.4 points and 4.5 assists in those games with the Suns.
The five-year, $70 million deal would be the same as current Sun Eric Bledsoe.
In his career Knight has averaged 15.2 points and 4.5 assists.
