The Phoenix Suns are sending David Roddy to the Atlanta Hawks.
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns seemingly aren't done making moves after closing in on a 15-man roster just two weeks ago.Roddy, 23, was a first-round pick in the 2022 draft by the Memphis Grizzlies. He got off to a rough start in his NBA career, struggling with efficiency, utilizing his athleticism on both sides of the ball, and at times decision making.
He did impress at various points during the 2024 Summer League, but it was clear that roster building was more important than giving the third-year player more of a platform to grow. In comes Liddell, a very accomplished college player at Ohio State, who was drafted 41st in the same draft Roddy was selected at number 22.Better flexibility here. Liddell's $ this year cuts down the tax bill a bit, his option for next year is over twice as cheap and the Suns won't have to decide on the option until next offseason unlike Roddy's.
