Why Suns must offer Grayson Allen a $75 million for the

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen is up for a contract extension. The Suns are looking to keep Allen on their team, according to Mat Ishbia.

The NBA’s best 3-point shooter by percentage (49.4) plays basketball for the Phoenix Suns. No, it’s not Kevin Durant or Devin Booker. It’s starting guard Grayson Allen, who the Suns traded for just under a month prior to the start of the regular season.

Wednesday, Allen became eligible for the four-year, $75 million extension known by Spotrac, which lists contract for players, as the “Dinwiddie Exception,” after Lakers guard Spencer Dinwiddie. Instead of being confined to a percentage of his previous salary (Allen is earning $8,500,000 on the second year of a $18,700,000) deal, Allen could extend for up to four years, with the first-year salary and subsequent raises being based off league average salary, which is $9.7 million

Since Allen is making below league average, he qualifies for the extension.

Here are the reasons why Allen should be re-signed by the Suns.
