ForwardMirza Teletovic is set to join the Phoenix Suns.

Teletovic tweeted a picture of himself in a Suns jersey and added in another tweet: "Thank you Brooklyn Nets and Nets fans for 3 great years!!!"

He is signing a one-year, $5.5 million contract with Phoenix, sources confirmed to ESPN.com.

Teletovic's announcement came shortly after the Nets rescinded their $4.2 million qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent.

In three seasons, he owns career averages of 7.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. A 6-foot-9 floor spacer, Teletovic is a career 36.2 percent shooter from 3-point range.
