Bobby Marks Explains How The Suns Can Use Loopholes To Improve This Summer
if so would they no longer be bound by those second apron limitations like are there some loopholes we can with no no that’s that’s that’s a that’s a Trier question MCO okay Bobby the real question here that everyone wants to know are there some loopholes that we just haven’t quite figured out yet so for example right is there a realistic way that the Suns could maybe get under the second apron by hypothetically uh unloading Yousef nage 18.1 million contract to a team that maybe that can just absorb that contract and not take something back for the Suns and if so would they no longer be bound by those second apron limitations like are there some loopholes we can with no no that’s that’s that’s a that’s a Trier question I mean like yeah so you could you could go out and do something like that so we’re looking at I don’t know somewhere between six and seven teams that have cap space this offseason um you’ve got to spend it how the new rules are you’ve got to spend 90% of the salary cap by the first day of the regular season so if you’re if you’re Philadelphia and you’ve got 60 whatever five million to spend you’ve got to spend you know 127 million um up to the cap Detroit’s another team um San Antonio um Utah Orlando like there’s a list of teams out there so would it cost you would you have to add something to it I don’t know I mean it depends on how that team values a nerk it so once you go under right so you knock that 16 17 million once you’re under then you’re under then you’re you’re a team that is operating as a first apron team or or just a luxury tax team here so there is like kcp in in Denver is an example kcp has got a player option for next year Denver is considered a second apron team he Ops out he goes elsewhere they go under you know the I think the first maybe even the first and second apron and then all of a sudden the all these resources that are weren’t available to you the ability to aggregate contracts the ability to take back more money that now becomes available to you so with that being said loophole number two uh if they were somehow to get into that first apron can they then uh make a trade that would get the necessary resources back but also it puts them back into that second apron can they still do that kind of thing yeah I mean basically what would happen is is that as long as you’re not using one of the thing re the the I guess resources that would trigger it okay so for example let’s say you move um nage and now you’re a first apron team okay and now all of a sudden you want to take back more money in a trade then that would trigger that would trigger the apron or aggregate that would basically re basically would restart everything up um if you moved the number and you wanted to um uh aggregate contracts and take back players and still leaves you below the second apron then you’re allowed to do that here gotta okay so you can’t go from one apron down to the other apron to try to go back up go back I got it that’s why we love you Bobby you got it all man
