Hornets trade Miles Bridges to Suns for Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale

sportsJun 28, 202633641

The Charlotte Hornets traded forward Miles Bridges plus a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for guard Grayson Allen, forward Royce O'Neale and a 2033 first-round pick, sources report. Shams and ESPN confirmed the deal as part of Charlotte's ongoing offseason overhaul after the team nearly reached the playoffs last season. The move sends Bridges to a Suns roster that could now feature Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Miles Bridges and Mark Williams in a projected starting look. Phoenix also improves its second-apron cap room from about $5 million under to roughly $11.3 million under, according to estimates included in reporting. Charlotte receives two veteran rotation players and a later first-rounder while surrendering an earlier 2029 first and a 2027 second, shifting draft assets and veteran roles for both teams heading into free agency and the 2024-25 season.

I wrote about what it would mean for the Suns to trade for Miles Bridges 2 and a half years ago when these rumors first started popping up. My feelings haven’t really changed on the matter:

If you want to just focus on basketball, that’s your prerogative. But I will fire back at any Suns fan who tells anybody else to just sweep those domestic abuse accusations under the rug because they want to enjoy their team guilt-free.

Don’t ever apologize for having standards. It really sucks the Suns owner can’t see any of this.

Thank you for writing this. It means a lot as a female fan of the NBA to see male writers directly addressing these things instead of writing through euphemisms and ignoring it.

I feel sick about this.

Thank you dude! Glad to see someone is saying the quiet part out loud

I’m with you. This is depressing and infuriating.

I normally clip out the portion of pieces I read that hit me the hardest. Gerald’s words hit so hard that you need to read them yourself. Thank you, once again, for this.

WAY bigger than basketball., indeed. Glad he isn't a Nugget, but mad he's still in the league.

Hard to think of a greater karmic change possible than going from having Miles Bridges as your starting PF to having Naz Reid as your starting PF

Never thought I’d see Grayson Allen traded for someone *way, way* more unlikeable.

It's always been fuck the Phoenix Suns. Now it's mega fuck the Phoenix Suns.

if Royce O’Neale went by his middle name, he’d be Khalil O’Neale

This feels like Step 3 in the preamble of what they’re eventually doing, so I’m going to hold off falling for any of these people.

Los Suns pasan a ser franquicia non grata en lo que a mí respecta. Felicidades a los aficionados de los Hornets que aunque puedan perder en lo deportivo se quitan la ignominia de tener a tamaña basura en sus filas.

Shame on you Phoenix Suns.

I honestly never thought a team that wasn't Sacramento Kings level down bad was going to take him

So much for the Hornets’ accumulation of goodwill over the past week.

Suns go from about $5M under their second-apron hard cap to $11.3M under their second-apron hard cap by swapping Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale for Miles Bridges. This is factoring in estimates for Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Mark Williams.

@sunsphx.bsky.social Can't support a team with Miles Bridges on it. I'm out for the duration. I want no part of that "culture". Easy season to miss.
