NBA free market rumors: Bill said he was not interested in playing with Luca Doncic and LeBron James after he was bought out by the Suns

On Wednesday, Bradley Bill's domino fell and after reaching a buyout agreement with the Phoenix Suns, he was rumored to join one of the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks. In the end, Bill gave up $13.1 million in the buyout agreement and signed a two-year, $11 million contract with the Clippers to join forces with Leonard and Harden.

Everything has been a foregone conclusion in recent weeks, but other teams continue to chase him. The Lakers and the Bucks are very interested in this. Bill only has a common interest in the Bucks. As for the Lakers, he is not very interested in representing the Purple and Gold Corps, although it is attractive to play around LeBron James and Luca Doncic.

Here is a report by NBA insider Brett Segal:

"While the team had extensive conversations with Bill and his agent, Bill did not show interest in playing for the Lakers."

The Lakers did not fully use the biennium disclaimer after using a part of it to renew Jaxon Hayes for a year. They can't give Bill that much money for the Clippers and the role he wants.

The Lakers' backcourt seems to be composed of Doncic and Reeves. As LeBron James is also highly utilitarian, Bradley Bill's chances on the offensive end will be limited. The situation in the

Clippers is changing. Bill can be the second scorer and core of the organization after Leonard and Harden respectively. Both roles will be better than he did in Phoenix and the Lakers.

Losing Bills is not a big deal for the Lakers. Although getting Bills with a basic salary contract is a good deal, spending all the money on him is not the ultimate goal of the Lakers. Los Angeles is refining their roster based on their needs. With multiple players in possession, finding a spot for Bill would complicate things.

What the Lakers need is players suitable for a specific role. A key area is the perimeter defense to support the trio of Luka Doncic, Austin Reeves and LeBron James. The Lakers pursue three-pointers, who can play on both offense and defense, and are in good shape without the ball. Bill doesn't fit this description.

As the sixth man scorer, he would be very suitable, but he is unlikely to accept the role.
