The Phoenix Suns have acquired guard Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey from the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis, reports Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro.
Richards is the largest salary involved in the trade at $5 million, and the move gets the Suns under the luxury tax threshold, which could allow them to avoid repeater tax penalties as a tax-paying squad in three of the last four years. They were last under the tax in 2021-22.
Richards averaged 3.2 points and 3.3 rebounds this year after being acquired last season for Josh Okogie and three second-round picks.
Over 36 games and 34 starts for Phoenix in 2024-25, he averaged 9.5 poinst and 8.6 rebounds per game, providing a physical interior presence. But under first-year coach Jordan Ott, Richards lost a rotation role behind starting center Mark Williams and with the emergence of second-year pro Oso Ighodaro.
Hayes-Davis signed as a free agent after spending his career overseas since 2018 but failed to carve out a rotation role. He’s averaged 7.2 minutes in 27 appearances.
Anthony, a 25-year-old combo guard, spent his entire career with the Orlando Magic until this season and has career averages of 12.0 points and 3.8 assists.
This year, he is averaging 6.7 points and 3.5 assists on 42.4% shooting in 15.1 minutes per game (35 games).
Coffey, 28, averaged a career-high 9.7 points per game last season with the Los Angeles Clippers but this season has only averaged 8.8 minutes per game for the Bucks.
