Bill s net worth is only worth the middle class, Suns still cannot solve the dead end this summer

For Phoenix Suns, sending off Kevin Durant is only the first step on the road to rebuilding. Next, the most difficult problem for them is how to deal with the long-standing problem of Bill.

According to the famous American media TA, Bill is currently willing to go to a team he likes, but he is more inclined to stay in Phoenix. After leaving Washington, Bill's family has moved to the West Coast one after another and began settling in Phoenix mid-season. If Bill is traded to the team in the Central East again, they will face the situation of moving again and the children will be forced to transfer schools, which is obviously something Bill doesn't want to see.

However, in the West Coast, where the arms race is extremely intense, no team is willing to absorb Bill's contract. Currently, Bill has two years left in his contract, worth up to $110 million, and has a transaction veto. In an interview with TA, the source said that it is generally believed that Bill's current value should be about equal to a full middle-class special case (annual salary of about $14.1 million).

If the deal cannot be completed, there are only two options left for the Suns. One is to continue to retain Bills and try to attract some teams eager to create cap space when their contract is about to expire; the other is to buy it out directly. The price of a direct buyout is obviously unacceptable to the Sun, so the most likely thing is to cut it through an extended clause.

However, according to NBA regulations, the total salary of players who have been cut/buyed out cannot exceed 15% of the salary cap. In addition, the Suns have previously laid off Liddle and Little with extended terms, and the cumulative layoffs have reached US$3.8 million. The complete buyout of Bill will increase spending $22 million per season ($110 million in five years) so according to calculations, Bill will have to give up a salary of no less than about $13 million (about $2.6 million per season) in total, so the Suns can buy it out with extended terms if it complies with the rules. For Bill, this is unacceptable again.

Obviously, Bill's contract is still an unsolvable dead end.
