Suns Trade Roddy for Liddell

EJ Liddell has been traded to the Phoenix Suns from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for David Roddy, marking his second trade in less than a month. Liddell, a former Ohio State standout, was initially moved from the New Orleans Pelicans to the Hawks as part of the deal for Dejounte Murray. Despite limited NBA experience due to a torn ACL, Liddell showed promise in the G-League, averaging 17.7 points and 7.8 rebounds. The Suns, needing depth behind their Big 3, hope Liddell can provide two-way support. Roddy, who had a solid Summer League, will join the Hawks and aims to secure a rotation spot. This trade reflects both teams' needs for depth and potential future contributions.
