The Phoenix Suns continue their busy offseason with two trades on Friday.
First, they agreed to a deal with the Brooklyn Nets that sent over Jared Dudley and a 2021 second round pick for Darrell Arthur. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports Arthur will be bought out by the Suns.
Brooklyn agreed to trade w/ Phoenix to acquire Jared Dudley and 2021 second-round pick for Darrell Arthur, league sources tell ESPN. Arthur ($7.4M) headed for buyout; Dudley ($9.5M) will have that conversation with Nets. Suns save some salary, Nets get a pick protected to No. 35.

That deal freed up some cap space for the Suns to then trade for 76ers forward Richaun Homes for cash considerations. In Holmes’ three-year career, the 6-foot-11 big man averaged 7.4 points and 4.2 rebounds.
His per 36 numbers last year were 15.0 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.
Suns sent $1M to Sixers in the Richaun Holmes deal, league source tells ESPN. The Dudley-Nets trade created the salary cap space needed to make trade possible for a rim-running, shot-blocking center.
