The Charlotte Hornets have traded forward Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for guard Grayson Allen, forward Royce O'Neale, and draft picks. The deal comes shortly after the Hornets traded point guard LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The trade sends Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick, and a second-round pick to Phoenix, while Charlotte receives Allen, O’Neale, and a 2033 first-round draft pick, according to ESPN.
Sources indicate that the Hornets have been active in reshaping their roster following the trade of Ball. The team appears to be prioritizing future assets and flexibility as they rebuild.
The Suns are adding Bridges, who has shown potential as a scoring threat and rebounder. He averaged 12.2 points and 5.1 rebounds in 76 games last season. Allen provides Phoenix with shooting and defensive capabilities. O’Neale is a versatile player known for his defense and three-point shooting.
The trade marks another significant move for the Hornets, who have undergone substantial changes to their core group of players in recent days. The team sent Ball, along with draft compensation, to Minnesota in exchange for future assets. This latest deal further signals Charlotte’s commitment to a long-term rebuilding process.
