TA: If Bill is bought out by the Suns, the Clippers will lead the Bills battle

Today, according to The Athletic's NBA reporters Law Murray, Dan Woike and Fred Katz, the Clippers will lead the "Bill Battle".

The Clippers reportedly took the lead in the potential battle for Bills, and the team has been taking some action, which seems to indicate that Bill is about to join. According to NBC Sports reporter Kurt Helin on Monday local time, the Clippers' deal to send Norman Powell to the Miami Heat "is seen as a precursor to the Clippers' signing of Bills."

But before signing with the Clippers, Bill needs to get a buyout contract from his current team. His contract remains at $110.8 million and his estimated revenue this season is $53.7 million. In addition, he also has a $57.1 million player option for the 2026-27 season. Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reported that the Suns could share $96.9 million of Bill’s remaining contract over the next five years to avoid exceeding the second luxury tax line.

Although the Clippers are reportedly the team that Bill is most interested in, they are far from the only team that Bill is interested in. According to The Athletic's Fred Katz, Bill "has considered" the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
