The Charlotte Hornets have traded center Mark Williams to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for the No. 29 pick and a future first-round pick. This move comes as the Suns previously secured another center, Kalam Maluch, in the draft. Despite posting impressive averages of 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds, Williams' season was overshadowed by his failed physical that halted a trade to the Lakers. Injuries have limited his appearances, with 44 games marking a career high, leading to questions surrounding his future.
The trade broke as the Suns also picked center Kalam Maluch with the No. 10 pick in the draft, a pick they received from the Houston Rockets as part of the Kevin Durant trade last week.
Williams posted career highs of 15.3 points and 10.2 rebounds for the Hornets this season, but his year will be most remembered for what didn't happen.
