Fast forward? 👀Reporter: Bill is willing to cooperate with the Suns to buy out, with more than 110 million yuan in the contract remaining two years

According to Duane Rankin, Sun reporter for the Arizona Republic, sources revealed that the Sun has begun to discuss the possibility of Bill's buyout contract.

According to Forbes Sports NBA reporter Evan Sidery, Bill is open to cooperating with the buyout, which will speed up his departure from the Suns. If Bill accepts a buyout, it will help the Suns avoid the second rich line, thus providing the team with great flexibility. Without the heavy burden of a big contract, Bill will become a coveted free agent.

The labor and capital agreement stipulates that the total salary of the players who have been laid off/buyed out cannot exceed 15% of the salary cap. The Suns have previously cut Liddle and Little, and their cumulative layoffs have reached US$3.8 million. The complete buyout of Bill's remaining contract will increase spending of $22 million per season (more than $110 million in 2 years, paid in 5 years), so according to calculations, Bill has to give up a salary of no less than about $13 million (about $2.6 million per season) in total, so that the Suns can buy it out with extended terms if they comply with the rules.
