The Pistons will send the Suns a 2020 second-round draft pick. So yes, the Suns are clearing salary cap space.

Checking the numbers again, the Suns still have work to do to for Aldridge slot. Today's trade dumps $8.4m in salary though.

Suns have no assurance that Aldridge will sign, but the fact that he's suddenly so intrigued has motivated them to push hard.

Morris was slated to earn $5 million this upcoming season, with Granger on the books for $2.1 million and Bullock just over $1.25 million.
Morris, 25, averaged 10.4 points and 4.8 rebounds for the Suns last season, primarily in a reserve role.
Bullock and Granger were acquired via in-season trades, with the former appearing in 11 games and the latter never suiting up for the team.
