Shams: Hornets trade Maximum to the Sun

10:48pm, 28 June 2025【Basketball】

According to famous reporter Shams, the Hornets traded Ma Wei to the Suns for the No. 29 draw and a 29-year first-round pick.

Shams then continued to add that the source said that the first round pick in 2029 was the lowest pick among the three teams, the Cavaliers, Jazz and Timberwolves (protected by 1-5 picks). Last season, the height and body size issue were the Suns' shortcomings, and Mark Williams was obtained through the trade and Maruac was selected with the No. 10 pick. They solved this problem to a large extent, and the Hornets won two first-round draft picks.

Then salary expert Bobby Marks followed up with the report, and sources revealed to ESPN that the Hornets would get Misic as part of the deal. It is worth mentioning that Misic was traded to the Suns by the Hornets in Nurkic's trading case in February, and the Suns will execute his $8.1 million team option. In addition, Mawei also announced his joining Sun on social media.

In February this year, the Hornets traded Mawei to the Lakers, but the deal then failed and Mawei continued to stay in Charlotte. In the 24-25 season, Mawei played 44 games for the Hornets, averaging 15.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.
