The Heat finally gave up! The Suns defender faces reality and is willing to accept the buyout!

Basketball

The NBA free agent market has been open for several days, and many players have found their next home, so the player market has gradually begun to calm down and no major news has been heard.

But in fact, there is another where the star is worth paying attention to, that is Phoenix Suns defender Bradley Bill. Bill has a big contract and he has two years and a salary of $110 million, which is a huge burden. The Suns have long since no longer wanted Bill, and Bill wants to leave, but no team is willing to take over such a big contract.

Recently, the Suns have been communicating with the Miami Heat, hoping to send Bills away, but the Heat also felt very stressed about Bill's big contract, so they have not reached a deal for a long time. With Lillard being directly bought out by the Milwaukee Bucks, the Heat had already taken a fancy to Lillard and stopped trading negotiations.

In this way, Bill was also anxious. Theoretically, since the Bucks can pay Lillard's remaining $113 million in five years, the Suns can do it too. However, according to the current NBA labor and capital agreement, the total amount of buyout players cannot exceed 15% of the salary cap. The 15% of the salary cap is about $23 million. The Suns have laid off two players and used a $3.8 million quota, leaving more than $19 million, which is not enough for Bills' average $20 million quota per year. If Bill is willing to give up his salary of more than $13 million, he can cut Bill by paying it for five years.

As Bill's transaction negotiations completely stopped, Bill finally figured it out. According to US media reports today, Bill is willing to actively cooperate with the Suns to buy out the contract and restore his freedom. Once the Bills become a free agent, the Bucks, Golden State Warriors, Heat and Los Angeles Lakers are all interested in others.
