The Charlotte Hornets traded veteran forward Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns for Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and a 2033 first-round pick. The deal is the second major trade for Charlotte in three days.
The Charlotte Hornets traded veteran forward Miles Bridges along with a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns for Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and an unprotected 2033 first-round pick. The transaction was the second major deal executed by the Hornets in three days. Earlier in the week the team sent All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Background on the deal Bridges, 28, averaged 17.1 points and 5.8 rebounds last season while helping Charlotte finish with 44 wins after a 19-win campaign the year before. He had one year remaining on the contract he signed in 2024. The Suns acquired a veteran forward who has spent his entire NBA career with the Hornets after being drafted out of Michigan State.
The move also saved Phoenix approximately $20 million in luxury-tax obligations and opened a roster spot ahead of free agency.
Assets exchanged Charlotte received two rotation players in Allen and O'Neale plus the Suns' 2033 first-round selection. The 2029 first-round pick sent to Phoenix will be the least favorable among Charlotte, Utah, Cleveland and Minnesota. The Hornets separately agreed to a three-year, $74 million contract extension with guard Coby White.
Bridges missed the entire 2022-23 season and part of the 2023-24 season after entering a plea of no contest to a felony domestic-abuse charge.
