Suns: Suns Payroll is actually absurdly low

[da_suns_fan]

Suns are paying 27 million to Okafor (whos never been to Phoenix), Beasley (who plays for Miami) and Childress (who plays....somewhere).

Combined salary of players who are actually on the team: 26 million

Kobe salary: 30 million

Nets payroll (including luxury tax): 190 million

Granted several players (most notably Bledsoe) are currently on their rookie contracts, but its still crazy to see how ed up the CBA is.

I think the fact that they are getting paid at all is absurd.

The Suns are in good shape. I like their team.

[TXstbobcat]

I miss the spurs playoff rivalry with the suns. Had some epic playoff games.

[CitizenDwayne]

The Suns really got shafted by Beasley. What a joke.

And wtf happened to Childress anyway? That guy turned to quickly.

[Katherine Robinson]

It's good to look at the bright side, but unlimited cap space would not help the Suns escape 0 & forever.

48 million: 0-2

26 million: 12-9

He's rotting on the Pelicans bench.

Bend over. I'll show ya getting in' paid.

Bledsoe will get the max as soon as his contract expires, another John Wall type of player.

John Wall is the better team player and better overall imo. Both cant shoot for though

which is why I said John wall type, just an athletic, defensive PG with nice enough handles, who lacks the shooting touch. Can't carry a team, but will post up nice enough stats for sorry franchies to pay that kind of money.

I don't work for minimum wages

& it will be good times here then as the local Media helps the org. deal with Bledsoe and that contract. They already are paving the road since the start of the season. They tread carefully though. They don't want to rustle Eric's feathers but they don't want it being a max deal either.

I was pretty shocked to learn that Childress is still being paid. Seems like it's been years since he played here. I'm fine with paying Beasley if it means he won't ever don a Suns uniform again. And Okafor is an expiring contract, so that one doesn't hurt at all. Suns are playing moneyball, though. McD is prepping for some big free agency periods in the next couple of years.
