Charlotte Hornets
Phoenix Suns Receive: G Terry Rozier, G/F Caleb Martin, 2026 First-Round Pick (CHA)
Charlotte Hornets Receive: C Deandre Ayton
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns could use two things: a guard who can get downhill, and some general depth.
This may be the best shooting team in basketball, but they’re not exactly relentless at the rim. Meanwhile, they gave up a lot of key players to land Kevin Durant. This deal fixes both of those issues.
If the Charlotte Hornets are happy enough with Mark Williams, they won’t take it. With that said, this organization will probably be looking to take a step forward next season.
Ayton will be more productive than the sophomore big man.

With that said, the Suns will need to replace Ayton. Realistically, they may even seek to do so in the same deal that has them moving him.
If so, this next deal will suit them better.
