Suns Acquire Center Jock Landale in Trade With Hawks

Londale was reportedly acquired for cash from Phoenix.

On Saturday, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported the Phoenix Suns traded for center Jock Landale from the Atlanta Hawks.

The Phoenix Suns are trading for Australian center Jock Landale from the Atlanta Hawks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Landale averaged 4.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in 54 games for the Spurs last season.

Landale, who played for the San Antonio Spurs last season, was part of the Dejounte Murray trade to Atlanta on June 30. 

In 54 games for San Antonio last season (his first in the NBA), he averaged just 10.9 minutes played per game. 

Landale (6-foot-11, 256 pounds) will turn 27-years-old in October and looks to provide depth behind Bismack Biyombo, who just today re-signed with the Suns. 

Phoenix lost center Javale McGee to the Dallas Mavericks and are expected to trade Deandre Ayton soon. 

The parameters of the deal are unknown at this time, although some reports have suggested the Suns sent Atlanta cash in turn for their new center. 

The Hawks received money in the Jock Landale trade, per source.

Minimum consideration for a trade is $110k, which I'm guessing will be the exact amount here. https://t.co/NNNWrAzrq7

After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft, Landale played in the G League prior to stints in Lithunia and Australia before signing with San Antonio prior to the 2021-22 season.
