Phoenix Suns
Covers the 6 tracked contracts at the top of this cap sheet — not the full 15-man roster · methods →
PHX carries $101M of tracked production (18th of 30) against $283M of true cost, netting −$182M of surplus (25th of 30).
Devin Booker carries −$78.7M of negative surplus on $224M across 4 years. It grades "immovable" — the front office's biggest lever is finding the exit before the term shortens the buyer pool further.
Weighted profile led by roster quality (42/100).
$101M of tracked production ranks 18th of 30 tracked teams.
$141M committed at the second-apron tier — hard-capped and rigid.
−$182M of aggregate surplus ranks 25th of 30 tracked teams.
Blend of 42th-pct production now and 18th-pct surplus to build on.
64% of spend sits in negative-surplus money (heavy concentration).
0 positive-asset contracts plus constrained cap sheet.
PHX carries $101M of tracked production (18th of 30) against $283M of true cost, netting −$182M of surplus (25th of 30). That profile reads retooling: an overall F-grade roster (28/100) whose defining trait is roster quality (42/100).
Royce O'Neale is the surplus engine: −$10.9M on $9.5M, 2.3 marginal wins of production.
Devin Booker is the drag: −$78.7M under water on $224M still owed over 4 years.
