The Atlanta Hawks may be looking for a new addition at the five.The Hawks are among multiple teams that've spoken to the Phoenix Suns about a possible trade for 7-foot center Jusuf Nurkic, sources told Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic.

The Phoenix Suns have four bigs on the roster, including newly acquired 7-footer Nick Richards. Nurkic was moved to the bench earlier this month.

Last season Nick Richards had more dunks (120 ... The Suns allowed both the Hornets and Atlanta Hawks to grab 20 offensive boards within the last week alone - Plumlee/Ighodaro simply aren't ...

Kevin Durant scored 29 points and Nick Richards continued to make a stellar impression as the Phoenix Suns notched a 119-109 victory over the visiting Washington Wizards on Saturday night.

Richards - coupled with rookie stud Oso Ighodaro - will inject a very pointed surge of athleticism into the Suns' lineup. Last season Nick Richards had more dunks (120) than Nurkic and Plumlee combined (100) in 1000 fewer minutes.

The Phoenix Suns will have a very active 2025 NBA trade deadline. One of those moves will be offloading Jusuf Nurkic. What's the latest on Nurkic's future in Phoenix?

Though the strength of schedule over this span hasn’t necessarily been impressive, Phoenix has been better recently, winning nine of its last 13 games. So, as the team continues its pursuit of Jimmy Butler, the Suns (24-22) are moving their way up the standings.

The deadline begins a string of events, notably the All-Star break, following which fantasy managers will enter their playoffs. Maximizing games played could be crucial for those on the bubble, while 'stashing' could be a valid strategy for anyone lucky enough to be comfortable in the standings.

"There has been some chatter since last night of the Suns pulling away from Jimmy Butler trade talks and focusing on improving their roster by moving Jusuf Nurkic. Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic is one name that keeps coming up in conversations," he wrote on Twitter/X.

He said Budenholzer didn't tell him he would sit out a Jan. 9 game against the Atlanta Hawks ... including Plumlee and Nick Richards, whom the Suns acquired in a Jan. 15 trade.

Didn’t matter. Minnesota is living rent-free in the Phoenix Suns heads again. The T-Wolves know they're younger, more athletic, more physical, and are letting the Suns know it in their words and actions.

Almost every team gets involved with NBA trade deadline deals in the modern era. So, what trades should each team make?
