Phoenix Suns dealt Jusuf Nurkic and a 2026 first-round pick to Charlotte Hornets for Cody Martin, Vasilije Micić and a 2026 second-round pick.

The Phoenix Suns are reportedly making a trade prior to Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline, but it isn't the blockbuster some might have previously

The Phoenix Suns are trading benched Jusuf Nurkic and a first-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft to the Charlotte Hornets for forward Cody Martin, guard Vasilije Micic and a second-round pick in the same draft,

NBA trade deadline started in earnest with the trade bombshell that seemed so ludicrous, fans and players alike thought someone was playing a prank: Luka Dončić being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in a three-team deal that also included Anthony Davis going to the Dallas Mavericks.

During the week leading up to the NBA's trade deadline the league just dives as deeply as possible into transactional chaos. It can be a bit funny in the moment, sure. Seeing the Suns players react to the Luka trade, for example, doesn't seem like a particularly meaningful or harmful moment.
