In ESPN's annual offseason survey, the Phoenix Suns' trade for Mark Williams received a vote for the worst move of the offseason. The deal went down on draft night, with the Suns sending Vasilije Miciu0107, the No. 29 pick, and a 2029 first-round pick to the Hornets for Williams. Phoenix went from needing a center to having two in Williams and Khaman Maluach.
On the "Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective" podcast, Windhorst, Tim Bontemps, and Tim MacMahon discussed the survey results. MacMahon said that he "understands" why Phoenix made the trade, and he noted the inclusion of the pick that the Suns received in last season's trade with the Jazz.
