The first in NBA history! It is said that the Suns can t bear it anymore, and the Lakers are considering finding a gap

There are also quite a lot of big deals in the offseason of the NBA this season, and the most popular thing is the conflict between Bill and the Suns. Because the Suns obviously want to rebuild, they are unwilling to continue giving Bill a chance to the team. According to famous reporter Marc Stein, the Suns and Bradley Bill are actively promoting buyout negotiations. Sun reporter Gerald Bourguet followed up and revealed that Bill is willing to give up $13.9 million in the remaining contract ($110.8 million for 2 years), and the Sun will use the extension clause to pay the remaining $96.9 million in five years, thereby avoiding triggering luxury taxes. The $110 million buyout amount will set an NBA record, marking the official start of the Suns' reconstruction mode.

This time, Bill's buyout fee will reach a terrifying $110 million, which will also be the largest buyout contract in NBA history. Everyone really doesn't understand what conflicts happened between the Suns and Bills. They just wanted to buy out and pay the money and send the player away directly. Bill joined the Suns in 2023 and formed the "big three" with Durant and Booker, but the results were not good. In the 2024-25 season, Bill averaged only 18.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.1% and a three-point shooting percentage of 32.7%, both hitting new lows in the past five years. What's worse is that Bill only played 53 regular season games due to injury, with an attendance rate of less than 65%. The Suns management believes that Bill’s contract has become the biggest obstacle to the team’s strengthening and must be cleared as soon as possible.

Even if it is under reconstruction, I don't want him to delay the development of young people. The Suns started to rebuild directly, and after Bill left, he was likely to join the Lakers. Because the Lakers signed Ayton after Ayton was signed. There is indeed a great chance to win the championship. It is indeed a perfect thing for the Lakers to get the Bills again at this time.
