Deal appears to be:
Micic, 29, 2029 UTA/MIN/CLE 1st (worst, MIN is 1-5 protected) for Williams

Maluach AND Williams?

Phoenix addresses the size issue

This thread will be interesting

Charlotte is completely hopeless with Jeff Peterson at the helm. call me back when everyone in this organization is gone

And Nick Richards that they already acquired from Charlotte lol

Maluach on the move maybe?

Details on the '29 pick?

Have to say I would've just been happy with Maluach.

Its funny that Peterson had the worst stretch in recent Atlanta history as a GM and our owners said "yep, lets hand the keys to this guy" and now we are clearly the worst team in the East in less than 16 months

I like it for both. They already traded Mark I think that bridge was burnt. They got 2 1sts for him with a bad physical. Not bad at all.

PHX a great chance to revive him, and a nice backup in the draft.

win win

The Suns finally no longer have to depend on small ball 24/7. Multiple Center options who provide in a different ways. They still need to figure what they're going to do with Jalen Green, but the Suns might be able to get into the play-in range next season.

Use a lottery pick on a player then immediately undermine it by acquiring a player who plays the same position.

That was always my favorite. Pistons used to love to do this.

Suns need to send 1 player that makes at least $6.3M for this to work

Is the 29 part of the PHX > Utah deal where they got 3 bad 1sts?

29 other teams wish they did the same thing

So the worst of CLE/MIN/UTA29FRP and pick 29.

Effectively #29 and another one the mid 20s most likely.

i would've paid two extremely late 1sts to tell all the other 29 teams to **** right off and let us keep Mark

Yeah, this is my first question....

So basically the trade was:

PHX unprotected 31 to Utah

PHX 26 after a bunch of swaps, pick #29 this year and the lessor of MIN/CLE/UTA 29 1st to Charlotte with Nurkic

Mark Williams and the lessor of MIN/UTA/CLE 27 1st to PHX

It WAS obvious he’d be traded for less than what he was traded for before the failed physical, right?
