The Phoenix Suns have agreed to trade guard Cameron Payne to the San Antonio Spurs, according to multiple reports.
Spurs receive:
- Cameron Payne
- Future second-round pick
- Cash considerations
Suns receive:
- Future second-round pick
Payne, a 28-year-old point guard, has been with the Suns for the past four seasons. Over 174 games with Phoenix, Payne averaged 9.8 points, 4.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds. Payne was selected No. 14 overall in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Phoenix was expected to have a quiet offseason after trading for Bradley Beal, but has been active while trying to build a roster around him, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. The team also signed big man Bol Bol to a one-year contract, a person familiar with the moves told The Associated Press.
The Suns traded Payne with a second-round pick and cash to the Spurs for a future protected second-round pick in a deal that will clear salary cap space.
That cleared the way for Phoenix to sign Bol, who was released by Orlando earlier this month. The 7-foot-2 son of former NBA player Manute Bol averaged 9.1 points and 5.8 points last season after three years in Denver.
