On July 17, Phoenix Suns official posted a poster to thank Bradley Bill, and the Suns official media wrote: "Thank you, Bradley (Bill).".

At this point, this means that Bradley Bill's two-year sun officially ends! Earlier today, Bradley Bill officially reached a contract buyout with his old boss Phoenix Suns, and the two sides parted ways!

It is reported that Bill voluntarily gave up his $13.8 million salary in the remaining two years of 110.8 million contract, because only in this way can the Sun buy out its contract with extended terms. The Suns will pay Bill's remaining $97 million in installments in five years, and he has become the second highest buyout fee in the extended terms layoffs, second only to the $113 million when the Bucks bought out Damian Lillard. According to salary expert Keith Smith, the Suns used extended clauses to cut Bradley Bills, which would save them about $200 million in the new season; while another salary expert Yossi Gozlan said the Suns would save at least $210 million in spending. In short, buying out Bills will help the Suns successfully avoid luxury taxes and limit their salaries below the tycoon line. In the future, they can save money by trading draft picks, which gives the Suns a flexibility in lineup allocation.

According to ESPN famous reporter Shams, Bradley Bill will choose to join the Los Angeles Clippers after he has passed the clarification period (48 hours). It is reported that Bradley Bill and the Los Angeles Clippers have reached a two-year franchise contract worth $11 million. In this way, this means that Bradley Bill’s signing of the Los Angeles Clippers has officially entered the countdown! In 48 hours, Bill will have a brand new identity as a Clippers player. At that time, Bill will join hands with James Harden and Kawai Leonard to form the three Clippers to start a new chapter in his career!

According to Shams's follow-up reports, league sources revealed that many teams including the Miami Heat, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers have been having in-depth conversations with Bills and his agents recently, all in order to attract the three-time All-Star guard to his own! But among many pursuits, Bill finally chose the Clippers, which have Harden and Xiaoka. As for the reason, this has to mention the contribution of the bearded Harden!

According to Shams on ESPN program, James Harden played a key role in recruiting Bradley Bill to join the Clippers. Bill is expected to start with Caharden Jr. in the new season. Shams said I was told Harden played a key role in recruiting Bill internally, and he also had a conversation with Bill and the team directly. It can be seen from this that Harden is definitely the number one hero for the Clippers to successfully recruit Bill to join!

able to stand out from Bill's many pursuits, and with just a two-year, 11 million contract with player options, the three-time All-Star guard who averaged 17+3+3+1 games last season successfully brought the three-time All-Star guard to Los Angeles. The Clippers undoubtedly made a fortune in silence! Because they got a starting shooting guard who was younger and 15 million cheaper than Powell.

Currently, Bradley Bill has 32 years and 19 days, and has averaged 21.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 stops in his NBA career in 2025-26. His salary is expected to be 5.5 million; Norman Powell has 32 years and 53 days, and has averaged 13.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 stops in his 10 years and has a salary of 20.48 million in the 2025-26 season. There is no doubt that compared to Powell, who earns an annual salary of only 5.5 million, Bill, who earns an annual salary of only 5.5 million, is more cost-effective! What do you think about this?
