The Phoenix Suns have acquired center Nick Richards from Charlotte, as well as a second-round pick, for Josh Okogie and three seconds, finally solving a substantial need for big man depth.
Richards, who's averaging 8.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks on the season, stands 7-feet tall and immediately strengthens Phoenix's otherwise modest size, primarily occupied by Jusuf Nurkiu0107 and Mason Plumlee.
The addition of Richards is a sign the Suns are still going for it this season, as they still have the big three of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal in place.
