Phoenix Suns Trade:
Bobby Portis $6.5m (2024)
Brooklyn Nets Trade:
RJ Hampton $2.5m (2024) RFA
DeAndre Jordan $10m (2023) (New York Knicks buy out DeAndre Jordan @ $12.5m cap hit)
We need to lose some cap space next year and have some extra this year. This effectively shifts forward some salary, while giving us a player with a lot of potential at a lower salary. We like Portis, who is on a great salary, but the need to extend Ayton, Lonnie Walker, and Robert Williams resulted in the need for this move.
