By far the most surprising move the Phoenix Suns have made this offseason has been trading for Charlotte Hornets' big man Mark Williams. It raised even more eyebrows than the eventual departures of both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal - as although they are obviously much bigger names - that was to be expected.
Complicating matters further was the fact the deal came off the back of the franchise drafting a big man in Khaman Maluach in the lottery, while Williams' teammate in Charlotte Nick Richards was acquired by the Suns at the deadline. All of these moves, and Phoenix should have actually just kept Jusuf Nurkic after all.
