The Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks have reportedly completed a trade

Even though the NBA’s free agent market has slowed down, there are still trade targets on the market that could make a big impact next season. That includes big names like Lauri Markkanen, as well as lesser-known players who can still help bolster a team’s roster.

In a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Friday, it was announced that the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a trade that would send forward David Roddy to Atlanta in exchange for forward EJ Liddell. Wojnarowski’s report didn’t include any details on picks or money, so it appears this is a player-for-player swap:

Roddy was traded to Phoenix last season by the Memphis Grizzlies and only played in 17 games for the Suns. Averaging just 3.7 minutes per game, Roddy was never part of Phoenix’s rotation after being in and out of the Grizzlies’ rotation early in his NBA career.

Drafted 23rd overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2022, Roddy was quickly traded to Memphis in a deal that sent him and Danny Green to the Grizzlies in exchange for De’Anthony Melton. Roddy played in 118 games (17 as a starter) for the Grizzlies over two seasons, averaging 7.4 points per game in 20.1 minutes per game.

A great athlete, Roddy has potential that may be revealed during this new opportunity in Atlanta.
