MARK WILLIAMS SENT TO THE SUNS

The Phoenix Suns acquired center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets for guard Vasilije Micic, a first-round draft pick in 2025 (No. 29 overall) and a conditional first-round draft pick in 2029.

What does it give the Phoenix Suns
This is a fascinating trade, since Williams now joins a Suns team that last season acquired Williams' former backup center (Nick Richards) in a January trade. Now, Williams and Richards are together again in Phoenix.

What does it give the Charlotte Hornets
Speaking of reunions, Micic returns to Charlotte after being dealt to Phoenix last season in the Jusuf Nurkic trade. Now, Micic returns to play what could be his previous role of backup point guard to LaMelo Ball with the Hornets.

Fantasy impact
Williams is a solid center who may see a fantasy boost in Phoenix, a team in transition after trading away Kevin Durant. As for Micic, he has no value as a backup point guard in the NBA. Pass.
