AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

So, presumably $20mm per year for 3 years beyond this one.  BUT, $17mm is paid in 22/23, which leaves $43mm to be divided over 3 years or $14.33mm AAV.  Could be even, escalating or declining.

I believe $17mm now gets them $2mm over the minimum for the season.  They are also a bit over $10mm in remaining cap room.  So, if they were to trade for someone like Collins, they would need to send out about $13mm in salary to do the deal based on cap room.

If Collins were to happen, I think Theis and Bitadze gets the money right.  We’d need to see the exact deal for Turner, but McConnell and Bitadze might get there also.

Edit:  One interesting aspect of this is it informs the market for Poeltl and Wood.  The three aren’t perfect comparables because their games are very different.  But they are positionally similar.

It says a 2 year extension, but you’re saying 3 years after this one? The 1 year makes a difference for your edit part. $42.9M divided between 2 years is roughly $21M starting with a max raise.
