Suns Trade Jusuf Nurkic, 2026 First Round Pick To Hornets For Cody Martin, Vasilije Micic

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Phoenix Suns have agreed to acquire Cody Martin, Vasilije Micic and a 2026 second round pick from the Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic and a 2026 first round pick.

Nurkic has been out of the Suns' rotation for several weeks as they have attempted to trade him. Phoenix recently converted their 2031 first round pick into three first round picks.

Suns really out here spending 1st round picks to get off of Nurkic when they already are short on C's. Interesting.
Trading for Beal was the biggest mistake this franchise has made and EVERYBODY except them knew it before the trade was made.
