Brooklyn Nets trade Landry Shamet to the Phoenix Suns for first-round pick

NBA: Chicago Bulls at Brooklyn Nets

Fresh off an appearance in the NBA Finals, the Phoenix Suns are not wasting any time looking to improve their depth. That now includes adding guard Landry Shamet in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Phoenix has acquired the veteran guard from Brooklyn for Jevon Carter and the 29th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

A first-round pick of the Philadelphia 76ers in 2018, Shamet gives the Phoenix Suns some more depth out on the perimeter behind Devin Booker. He averaged 9.3 points on 39% shooting from three-point range for the Nets a season ago.

In return, Brooklyn picks up a late first-round selection to go with the 27th overall pick. We can expect more movement from the Nets once the 2021 NBA Draft kicks off Thursday evening in New York City.
