June 6th, according to well-known sports reporter John Gambadoro, the Suns' attitude towards Bradley Bill in the future has been very clear, and they do not want him to return.

Earlier, John Gambadoro mentioned in his report: "The Suns don't want him to return at all, but because his contract is difficult to trade, if he does not agree to buy out, they may have to be forced to keep him. They asked candidates during the coaching recruitment process, 'How would you deal with Bill?' They 100% don't want him to stay and are currently looking for ways to get rid of him."

The Suns have only 36 wins and 46 losses in the past season, ranking 11th in the Western Conference, missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season. Therefore, the outside world generally expects the Suns to make major adjustments to the roster in the offseason, the core of which is to send Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal away and rebuild the team around Devin Booker.

At present, the Suns have made some changes in management - hiring Cavaliers assistant Jordan Otter as the new head coach and promoting Brian Gregory as the new general manager.

Bill struggled last season, playing only 53 games and was moved out of the starting lineup most of the time due to injury issues. Due to its poor form, the Suns will likely find it difficult to find a team willing to take over Bill’s sky-high contract. Ultimately, this decision may still be in Bill's hands because he has the right to trade veto.
