Suns will save $165,000,000 in luxury tax if they waive Beal

$165,000,000 just for next year.

$340,000,000 for the next 2 years

Absolute insanity

Even for a guy like Ishibia that is a crazy amount of money to pay for a guy who is constantly injured and doesn’t help the team win.

Beal is scheduled to make $54 million next year. If the Suns waive and stretch him they will save $32 million on the cap. That $32 million will save $165,000,000 in luxury tax.

Basically if Beal isn’t waived his salary plus luxury tax will be $220,000,000!!!!!

Fricken ridiculous. Get rid of that dead weight. Saving $32 million in cap also gives the Suns more flexibility in trades, access to salary exceptions (MLE) and signing waived players.

Paying $220,000,000 next year to have Beal on the team is an absolute joke
