Josh Okogie signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Suns, per @ShamsCharania.
The second year is non-guaranteed, so essentially an $8 million deal for Okogie to re-sign.
This could become a tradable contract for Phoenix to utilize at February’s deadline or next offseason. pic.twitter.com/cwcocdVnco – 9:23 PM

Other teams were interested in Josh Okogie, which we’d reported a few times. Suns used his Bird rights to bring him back for about $8M a year. Good deal for Okogie, even with the 2nd year non-guaranteed. Tradable salary as well. Roster currently stands at 15 – 9:18 PM

More on this storyline
As the Philadelphia 76ers continue a transformative offseason, forward KJ Martin returns on a two-year, $16 million deal, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The question is, how long will he remain in Philadelphia? Similarly to the Phoenix Suns agreement with Josh Okogie, whose two-year, $16 million deal is non-guaranteed for the second season, Martin could be in line for a similar contract structure to use as a potential trade chip as we await for contract details to emerge. -via HoopsHype / July 12, 2024
Bobby Marks: Record breaking numbers in Phoenix The Suns are the first $400M team in payroll Salaries: $223M Projected tax: $198M The Okogie signing is smart and gives Phoenix a $8M trade asset to use during the season. Because of the rules of the 2nd apron, his salary cannot be aggregate with other players on the Phoenix roster. The contract had to be 2 years because he was signed with early bird rights. -via x.com / July 12, 2024
Gerald Bourguet: Per source, with Josh Okogie expected to re-sign, the Suns like their group. The FA market has been slow and they’re still deciding, but it’s unlikely they’ll add anyone new -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / July 11, 2024
