The NBA's Phoenix Suns acquired forward Hedo Turkoglu Wednesday in a trade that sends guard Leandro Barbosa and forward Dwayne Jones to the Toronto Raptors.
The deal gives the Suns a third forward as the try to replace free agent Amare Stoudemire, who departed for the Knicks.
Phoenix inked swingman Josh Childress in a sign-and-trade deal with Atlanta earlier Wednesday and acquired Hakim Warrick in similar deal with the Bulls.
Turkoglu spent one disappointing season with the Raptors, averaging 11.3 points after being named the league's most improved player with Orlando the year before.
Barbosa, the NBA's 2006-07 sixth man of the year, played seven seasons in Phoenix, averaging 12.6 points as a key reserve.
Jones spent much of last season playing in the NBA Developmental League.
