Big fish comes again in the NBA trading market: defender Bill talks to the Suns to buy out & give up at least $13 million

On July 4, according to the NBA Suns reporter's exposure: the team's management is discussing a buyout contract with defender star Bill. Both sides have expressed their willingness to break up peacefully. The Suns plan to quickly rebuild around double guards Booker and Jaylen Green, and have accumulated a large number of young players such as Mawei in the offseason. It is reported that Bill hopes to resume his free self and enter the offseason trading market, hoping to join a playoff team, not caring whether he is the starting player or the substitute, but just wants to prove once again that he can still return to his peak moment. Once Bill reaches a buyout contract, he will inevitably start a fight when he enters the trading market. It is reported that many teams such as the Clippers Warriors and Hornets are interested.

Under the terms of the NBA buyout contract and the labor agreement, the salary of the players who have been laid off or bought out cannot exceed 15% of the salary cap of each team. The Suns have previously laid off two players Liddle and Little, with a cumulative salary of $3.8 million. Bill has two more seasons to have a total salary of US$112 million. If both parties reach a buyout contract, Bill will probably lose at least US$13 million in salary. However, for Bill, the opportunity to regain prove himself is more valuable than sacrificing this little money!

32-year-old Bill plays as a shooting guard and plays for the Suns in the 2024-2025 season. He plays in a total of 53 games in the regular season, averages 32.0 minutes per game, and can score 17.0 points + 3.3 rebounds + 3.7 assists + 1.1 steals + 0.5 blocks. He has a shooting percentage of 49.0%, a three-point shooting percentage of 38.0%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 80.%.
