Suns projected lineup: Jones / Booker / Beal / KD / Richards

Suns add much needed depth and defence with the additions of Green and Richards. Richards get a full time starting job and can show the world what he has to offer as a smart lob threat and rim protector as he has shown in a small sample size this season for Charlotte when Mark Williams was sidelined. Josh green adds a tenacious defensive player who is all effort off of Phoenix's Bench, has deep playoff run experience from his time with the Mavs and proved to be effective on the biggest stage, the NBA Finals.

Hornets Projected Lineup: LaMelo / Martin / Miller / Bridges / Williams

Hornets add a veteran rebounding center in Nurkic who can help with the growth of Williams. However, this is mainly a salary dump trade for Phoenix as it has been disastrous fit with Nurkic at the 5 this season. The hornets also acquire 2 future 2nds from the Suns which may become valuable in the near future.
