John Gambadoro: Trading Nick Richards opens up the third string backup Center spot for Khaman Maluach. The Suns also by getting under the first apron and tax and with one roster spot available can now sign anyone in regard to salary in the buyout market. In the past they were limited in which players they could target in the buyout market now that restriction is lifted.

Joel Lorenzi: Can confirm Bulls are sending Ousmane Dieng to Milwaukee, and Chicago is getting Nick Richards in a three-team deal involving the Suns. Nick Richards isn’t necessarily aged out of the timeline, but is 28. He’s also the only active true center Bulls have at the moment.

Yossi Gozlan: The Phoenix Suns get under the luxury in this trade. They're now $2.5 million below it and create a $5 million trade exception for Nick Richards.


MrBuckBuck: Fischer: Phoenix (a team that’s in the tax) has Nick Richards’ contract that they’re looking to move, that they almost moved to Toronto...we got pretty strong word from Sacramento that they don’t really think a deal’s going to happen anytime soon, would Toronto pivot back to Nick Richards?"

The Phoenix Suns, who are seeking power forward depth, are among several teams that have checked in on San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan, league sources told HoopsHype. Suns center Nick Richards was brought up during exploratory talks, sources said. However, such a move would push the Suns further above the luxury tax, which is not ideally something Phoenix wants to do.
