The Charlotte Hornets reach an agreement to trade forward Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns, according to multiple reports citing an Associated Press source. The trade is part of Charlotte’s continued offseason overhaul after it already moved star point guard LaMelo Ball earlier in the offseason.
The reported package sent from Charlotte to Phoenix includes Bridges and draft compensation. Details cited in the reporting indicate Charlotte also includes at least a first-round pick and a second-round pick in the deal. In return, the Hornets receive guard Grayson Allen, forward Royce O’Neale, and a future first-round pick from Phoenix.
The reports describe the transaction as Charlotte reshaping its roster after nearly making the NBA playoffs and trimming some of its top scoring options. For Phoenix, the trade adds Bridges while giving the Suns roster flexibility alongside players they receive from Charlotte. The Hornets’ offseason moves continue to follow the earlier Ball trade to Minnesota as part of a broader retooling.
