Suns unlock cap space with Bridges trade, targeting shooting guards in free agency

Phoenix traded Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale for Miles Bridges, freeing about $20 million in tax savings this season and creating a roster spot. The deal moves the Suns away from the second apron toward the first and allows use of the full taxpayer mid-level exception, boosting cap space for free agency. They’re targeting shooting guards, with options including Luke Kennard, Kevin Huerter, Collin Sexton, Jordan Clarkson, De’Anthony Melton and Landry Shamet as a wildcard.

Suns Acquire Miles Bridges: Cap Relief With Question Marks

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.

Hornets Ship Bridges to Suns for Allen, O’Neale, and a Cache of Draft Picks

Charlotte Hornets trade Miles Bridges to the Phoenix Suns for Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale, and multiple draft assets (a 2033 unprotected 1st from Phoenix, plus the 2029 1st with bottom‑five protection and a 2027 2nd). The deal awaits the July 6 moratorium to finalize. The move boosts Charlotte’s future draft capital and clears Bridges’ expiring contract, while Phoenix adds wings and flexibility, including roughly $30M in luxury‑tax relief and a traded‑player exception; Bridges is extension‑eligible, and Allen/O’Neale bring veteran experience. It’s the fourth Suns–Hornets trade since January 2025.

Hornets emerge as potential destination in Jaylen Brown trade saga

Jaylen Brown trade rumors are heating up as the Celtics explore a big return; a new suitor—Charlotte Hornets—has emerged after Charlotte acquired Naz Reid, with Miles Bridges discussed as a potential wing swap. Shams Charania says the Hornets intend to keep Reid, while Boston is reportedly seeking up to four first-round picks. Any deal would have to address Brown’s $57 million cap hit and Bridges’ past, and could involve a three-team arrangement.

Ball, White lift Hornets past Heat in SoFi Play-In OT

Charlotte rallied past Miami 127-126 in overtime to stay alive in the SoFi Play-In, led by LaMelo Ball’s vintage 30-point, 10-assist showing and a timely 19-point effort from Coby White off the bench. Bam Adebayo exited early with a lower-back injury, rookie Kon Knueppel struggled, and the Hornets dominated the boards with 17 offensive rebounds and 25 second-chance points, setting up a Friday showdown with Philadelphia or Orlando to determine the next round.

Ball, Bridges deliver in OT Play-In thriller as Hornets top Heat

LaMelo Ball scored 30 points with 10 assists and Miles Bridges added 28 and 9 rebounds as the Charlotte Hornets outlasted the Miami Heat 127-126 in overtime to open the SoFi Play-In. Coby White’s late regulation 3 forced OT, Ball hit a decisive driving layup with 4.7 seconds left in OT, and Bridges chased down Davion Mitchell’s potential winner to seal the win. The Heat played without Bam Adebayo (back injury), and Charlotte moves on to face the Philly-Orlando loser for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, capturing its first postseason home win in a decade.
