Phoenix was allowed to sign him because his $8M pre-existing salary was below the $12.4M non-tax mid level exception.
He gets to double dip on what is owed by Brooklyn and the prorated veteran minimum in Phoenix.

Thad Young spent 96% of his 350 minutes this season at center. Really like this pickup for the Suns. While it might not move the needle for them, gotta improve on the margins

"I'm on my fifth contract. Now that should tell y'all something. You ain't gotta be a 20 PPG scorer in order to have a 16 year career."
These are the type of guys you want on your team if you’re trying to win a championship
