According to the NBA's "whistleblower god" WOJ, the Phoenix Suns signed a four-year, $44 million contract with free agent Royce O'Neal, and the 3D blue-collar forward will remain with the team in the new season.

The 31-year-old O'Neal joined the Nets in the middle of last season and became an important player in the second half of the team with his 3-and-D attributes, playing in 30 games, contributing 8.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 25.2 minutes while shooting 37.6% from three-point range.

At the end of this season, his contract expired and he became a free agent, but according to the latest version of the collective bargaining agreement, the original team had the right to complete a contract extension with him before the free agent market opened on July 1, and the Suns added Stud again, giving him an offer that was close to the full middle class.

Although the first round of this year's playoffs defeated the Timberwolves, the performance of the Big Three was not outstanding, but the venture capital owner Ishibia is still full of gambling and is still adding weight to the configuration around the Big Three.

After firing head coach Vogel and bringing in Budenholzer, O'Neal has now been re-contracted, plus the original big three on the team, Grayson Allen and Nurkic, these six salaries alone are close to $200 million.

To make up the team's 14 roster, they will need at least eight players, and it can be said that the Suns will almost certainly be the highest-paid team in the league this season.

As the Warriors and Clippers begin to cut wages, the Suns are likely to become "the league's No. 1 tycoon" in the new season.

With Tsai Chongxin declaring failure, Ballmer still trying, and even the Warriors' board of directors almost unable to withstand the pressure of luxury tax, I wonder how long the outlier of the Suns, the boss, can still "commit crimes against the wind"?
