I don’t like it either but all letting him walk would do is get us below the 2nd apron. Honestly unless we’re getting below the actual salary cap it’s not a huge deal. A one year extension would mean he expires the same year as Beal and then we’d be below the actual cap with prime Book and cap space.
If it works out that way, it would be great.
I had the Suns coming up a season short, reading the quote from Mat Ishbia.

“Last year didn’t even count,” he said. “So, the next two years we are going to be in the second apron and we are going to be very expensive. Luxury tax is going to be high this year, it’s going to be high again next year. And we’re going to compete and we’re going to see how we do.
“And then the third year we have to try to get out of it. That would probably be the best and most intelligent decision because that would make it so our picks are not frozen and not pushed to the back of the draft.”
The Phoenix Suns have continued to zig while other teams zag with the new limitations in place for the NBA's mega-spenders.
