On Thursday evening, the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft will take place in New York.

Before the night begins, ESPN's Shams Charania reported the news that the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns had made a deal.

Via Charania : "The Brooklyn Nets are trading the No. 36 pick in tonight's NBA Draft to the Phoenix Suns for two future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Suns now own Nos. 36, 52 and 59."

The Nets trading their pick makes a lot of sense, as they became the first team in NBA history to make five first-round selections (on Wednesday night).

Via Underdog NBA: "Nets' 2025 first-round picks:

No. 8: Egor Demin, BYU
No. 19: Nolan Traore, France
No. 22: Drake Powell, UNC
No. 26: Ben Saraf, Israel
No. 27: Danny Wolf, Michigan

First team in NBA history to make 5 first-round picks in one draft."
