Slaughter! Epic loss-making trade: Paul + 4 first round swap + 5 second round + No. 7 pick, exchange for air

During this summer's offseason, the Phoenix Suns are one of the most active teams.

This summer, the Suns completed multiple trades and operations. However, many of these transactions are passive. This team is now facing an embarrassing situation, and the Suns must get rid of the trap through some big deals.

The biggest deal the Suns have completed this summer is to send Durant and exchange assets such as Jaylen Green and Dillon from the Rockets. There is no way to do this, because the Suns originally wanted to trade Bill, but Bill's big contract has the right to trade, so it is difficult to trade, so he can only trade Durant.

In addition, the Suns also renewed Booker early with a huge contract of 140 million for two years, and the renewal was also controversial. On July 17, the Suns completed another important operation and they bought out Bill's contract.

According to ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania, three-time All-Star Bill's agent Mark Batelstein revealed that Bill has reached a buyout agreement with the Suns and will join the Clippers after the clarification period (48 hours).

At this point, Bill was finally sent away by the Suns. Just looking back at the deal that the Suns traded to Bill, the Suns could be said to have lost to grandma's house, and it was even an epic loss-making deal.

2 years ago on June 19, 2023, the Wizards traded Bill to the Sun. The transaction details were then exposed:

Suns: Get Bradley Bill, Jordan Goodwin, and Isaiah Todd;

Wizards: Get Paul, Shamet, five future second-round picks, four future draft picks exchanges, part of cash (from the Suns), and No. 7 picks Coolibali (from the Pacers).

Pacers: No. 8 pick Jares Walker, two second round picks (one from the Suns and the other from the Wizards).

The Suns gave the Wizards the draft picks to the Wizards are the second rounds in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2030, and the first round swap rights in 2024, 2026, 2028 and 2030.

The Suns exchanged for Bill to give so many chips, but when he sent Bill away, he didn't get anything. He still had to pay Bill every year for the remaining five years. This is really something that makes Suns fans feel heartbroken.

In fact, the Suns used Paul to exchange Bill for it was originally a wrong idea. Bill may have strong scoring skills, but he, along with Durant and Booker, are both scoring players. Without Paul, no one in the Suns could organize and connect the offense. The result of this combination's failure can be predicted in advance.

It's just that the management of the Sun is really too stupid. They also paid a lot of future assets when they exchanged Paul for Bill, and they had the right to veto the transaction in Beard's contract. It can only be said that the Sun management has brought it to its own fault.

The Suns in the future are hard to see hope. Their draft picks are all in the hands of teams such as the Rockets and Wizards. At the same time, it is probably difficult to achieve anything around Booker and Jaylen Green, and they can only be in a situation where they are neither up nor down.

Suns management also gave Booker a maximum salary renewal contract in advance, locking down the team's salary space, and it is difficult to make a change.

What's even more heartbreaking is that Paul, who was used by the Suns to exchange for Bill, is likely to join the Clippers with the veteran's basic salary and become teammates with Bill. It seems that the Suns are really a charity.
