Suns Owner Says Suns Not Scared of NBA's Second Apron
Original: Suns Owner: We're Not Scared of NBA's Second Apron
Phoenix Suns ownership has publicly declared the franchise is not afraid of the NBA's second apron, the league's toughest payroll threshold that triggers heavy restrictions on team-building, including frozen draft picks and limits on trades. The statement signals the Suns intend to keep spending aggressively on a high payroll despite the financial and roster penalties the new collective bargaining agreement imposes on big-spending teams.
Why now: The Suns' willingness to defy the NBA's restrictive new spending rules stands out as other teams cut costs.
