(AP) \u2014 The Charlotte Hornets are continuing their offseason overhaul.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4377\">Lindsey Vonn has a special understanding of Serena Williams\u2019 comeback as a fellow 40-something<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Hornets have agreed to trade forward Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round draft pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns for guard Grayson Allen, forward Royce O\u2019Neale and a 2033 first-round pick, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Sunday because the trade, which was first reported by ESPN, still needs to be approved by the league.<\/p>\n<p>The trade comes on the heels of the Hornets sending star point guard LaMelo Ball to Minnesota as part of a deal that brought them Naz Reid, draft picks and pick swaps.<\/p>\n<p>That appears to have set off a major restructuring in Charlotte just months after the team improved its win total by 24 games from last season under second-year head coach Charles Lee.<\/p>\n<p>The Hornets lost in the play-in game to Orlando.<\/p>\n<p>The 6-foot-7 Bridges, 28, was the longest-tenured player on the Hornets roster, joining the team as a first-round draft pick in 2018 out of Michigan State.<\/p>\n<p>In seven seasons, he averaged 15.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 46.1% from the field and 33.8% from 3-point range. His best season came in 2023-24 when he averaged 21 points and 7.3 rebounds while shooting 34.9% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4375\">As July 4th holiday nears, NC coastal \u2018heroes\u2019 rescue pair in rip currents; 3rd swimmer saved off another island<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He sat out the 2022-23 season following accusations of domestic abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Bridges was arrested in June 2022 on the eve of free agency on charges including felony child abuse and injuring a child\u2019s parent. The NBA forced him to to sit out while his legal case was pending. He ultimately pleaded no contest to a felony domestic violence charge in November 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Bridges was suspended for 30 games in April 2023 by the league but received a 20-game credit because he missed the entire 2022-23 season.<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte never made the playoffs with Bridges\u2019 tenure with the team.<\/p>\n<p>The trade opens the door for Reid, one of the league\u2019s top reserves, to potentially start at power forward.<\/p>\n<p>The 6-foot-3 Allen grew into a solid scorer in his three seasons with the Suns, averaging a career-high 16.5 points and 3.8 assists per game, though injuries limited him to just 51 games.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s the third former Duke player to join the Hornets roster.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old is considered an elite 3-point shooter, though his accuracy dipped to 34.9% from long range last season.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Neale, 33, is a versatile veteran entering his 10th NBA season. The 6-foot-6 forward spent the past 2 1\/2 seasons with the Suns and averaged a career-high 9.8 points per game last season while shooting nearly 41% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=4367\">The military is searching for a US Marine missing off the coast of California<\/a><\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP Sports Writer David Brandt in Phoenix contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP NBA: https:\/\/apnews.com\/nba<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHARLOTTE, N.C.
