The Charlotte Hornets have traded center Nick Richards and one second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Josh Okogie and three second-round

The Phoenix Suns are bringing in a new center. The Suns struck a deal with the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday afternoon and traded for 7-foot center Nick Richards, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.

The Suns have made moves within the roster with their bigs in benching Jusuf Nurkic, starting Mason Plumlee and having rookie Oso Ighodaro see action as a backup, but the addition of Richards gives them a center who can come in right away and start.
