What's even crazier is the Phoenix Suns 2025-26 payroll projection. Their payroll and tax are projected to exceed $500 million next season.
That's because starting next season, tax rates increase by an additional $1 after the third tax level. Also, they'll be entering the repeater tax, increasing their tax rates by an additional $2.
You can see why many consider this upcoming season a make-or-break year for them.

Phoenix Suns payroll projection if Royce O'Neale's four year, $44 million deal starts as low as $9.8 million:
Payroll: $216.7 million
Luxury tax penalty: $162.4 million
$379 million roster would be second most expensive of all time behind last year's Warriors ($384 million).
