Acquired F Cody Martin, G Vasa Micić and a 2026 second-round pick from Charlotte in exchange for C Jusuf Nurkić and a 2026 first-round pick.

Sentiment Analysis

Phoenix essentially traded down from a first to second-round pick while acquiring salary filler. Multiple headlines confirm Martin was immediately waived, signaling zero football value retained. The swift release shows this was purely a financial move to duck luxury tax penalties. Fans are frustrated watching the team dump assets just to save ownership money. Suns will likely fill the roster spot with minimum wage veterans or G-League callups.
