  • The Charlotte Hornets traded forward Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns.
  • The trade involved multiple draft picks and players, including Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale heading to Charlotte.
  • This move follows the Hornets' earlier trade of star point guard LaMelo Ball, signaling a significant team restructuring.

The Charlotte Hornets have continued their offseason shake-up by trading forward Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns. In exchange, the Hornets received guard Grayson Allen, forward Royce O’Neale, and a first-round draft pick in 2033. This deal, confirmed by a person familiar with the situation, is subject to league approval.

The trade marks another significant move for Charlotte, coming just a week after they sent star point guard LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a multi-player deal that also included draft picks. These transactions suggest a major restructuring effort by the Hornets management.

Despite improving their win total by 24 games compared to the previous season and reaching the play-in tournament, where they lost to Orlando, the Hornets appear to be pivoting. The departure of Bridges, a former first-round draft pick, and Ball signals a clear shift in the team's direction and roster construction.
