The Bucks are keeping star Giannis Antetokounmpo through Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, and have shifted their focus on smaller moves instead.
Milwaukee has agreed to trade Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey to the Suns in exchange for Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
All four players in the trade are on expiring contracts, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks. For the Suns, the deal was an opportunity to move under the tax line by $2.2 million, with room to sign a 15th player to the roster.
