NBA Draft: Hornets reportedly trade Mark Williams to Suns for 2 first-round picks

Mark Williams is on the move.

Per ESPN's Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets are sending the center to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for the No. 29 pick in Wednesday's NBA Draft and a 2029 first-round pick.

The deal marks the second time the Hornets have tried to trade Williams. They thought they sent him to the Los Angeles Lakers before the trade deadline in exchange for a package that featured Dalton Knecht and a 2031 first-round pick.

But the Lakers rejected the deal after they said that Williams failed a physical, and the trade fell through.
