What it means
The deal carries a team option in 2027-28, so his team decides whether to play that season or reach free agency.
In a trade he sends out $6.3M in salary, the figure the other team has to match.
His deal runs through 2028-29. After that he reaches free agency, where his own team can usually offer more years and money than rivals through Bird rights.
Numbers come from the engine, off the league's books; cap holds and projected lines are estimates. See the full team picture on the Phoenix Suns cap sheet.
