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

The buyout market will probably work a trick or two for them if they're still in it down the stretch. Just how things are, I'm afraid. 

I think there's a chance they might fall on their face before that point though. I don't think Beal is reliable (or even that great, honestly) and one significant stretch of missed games for Durant might do the whole season in.

Just did a quick read of the new CBA rules again and I’d forgotten that players getting paid more than the MLE of 12.2 and are bought out can’t be signed by teams above the first or second apron this season. So guys like Hayward can’t be signed by Miami, Phoenix, GS, Milwaukee, Boston etc.and  was happy to be reminded of this rule.
