For clarity, the Suns waive-and-stretched Nassir Little now because if they did so before Aug. 31, they’d owe him $3.1M over the next 7 years. If they had waited until Sept. 1 or later, they would’ve owed his full $6.75M salary for 2024-25, then $3M per year over the next 5 years – 7:35 PM

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: Phoenix officials are high on rookies Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro and the releases open increased opportunities for both to contribute next season – along with roster movement potential moving forward. Little now will enter free agency. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / August 21, 2024
By comparison, the Suns are in a much different place. Bradley Beal is owed $160 million over the next three years and has a no-trade clause. The Suns’ players on midrange salaries, Jusuf Nurkic, Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale and Nassir Little, all have limited trade value, league sources told ESPN. -via ESPN / July 26, 2024
