According to Action Network’s Matt Moore, the Orlando Magic have held trade talks with the Suns regarding both Nurkić and Grayson Allen. “Sources said the Suns had substantive talks with Orlando involving Grayson Allen to try and move the albatross that is Jusuf Nurkic,” Moore wrote.

Last month, the Suns traded Josh Okogie and three second-round picks to Charlotte for 7-footer Nick Richards, who was a backup to Williams, and a second-round selection. Richards became the starting center in his second game with the Suns after posting 21 points and 11 rebounds in his Suns debut on Jan. 18 at Detroit.
