Suns Acquire Miles Bridges: Cap Relief With Question Marks

The Phoenix Suns traded Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale along with an unprotected 2033 first-round pick to land Miles Bridges, plus a 2029 first-round pick swap and a 2027 second-round pick swap. The move earns Draft Capital D+, Player Exchange B, and an overall C+ as the Suns gain around $20 million in luxury-tax relief and a roster spot, potentially enabling another add via the non-taxpayer MLE, but Bridges’ 33.8% career 3-point shooting and the loss of two top shooters raise concerns about spacing. Bridges’ expiring deal could be extended, yet the Suns still face questions about fit and culture given his off-court reputation. The piece remains intrigued but cautious, noting that full value will depend on the rest of the offseason and any additional assets linked to larger trades.
