Suns sign Bol Bol to one-year contract, trade backup point guard Cameron Payne for pick to save money, then add draft picks in third deal.

More on this storyline
Paul Garcia: With Payne now on the roster, the Spurs have $2.9 mil in cap space with Barlow, Jones, and Mamu’s cap hold. If they don’t have any immediate plans to use the $9.9 mil in space that can open up, then we may see Jones and Mamu sign their deals -via Twitter @PaulGarciaNBA / July 17, 2023
Duane Rankin: The #Suns are getting a protected 2nd round pick from the Spurs in return on the Cameron Payne trade, sources inform @azcentral. This includes a $6.5M trade exception. -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / July 16, 2023
Keith Smith: By my count, the Spurs had just over $6.5M in cap space remaining. That was just enough to take in Cameron Payne’s $6.5M contract. Spurs can now move forward with re-signing Tre Jones and Sandro Mamukelashvili. If he sticks, Payne gives SA some depth at PG behind Jones. -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / July 16, 2023
