Today, the Phoenix Suns relieved themselves of about $8.42 million in salary by trading Marcus Morris, Danny Granger and Reggie Bullock to the Detroit Pistons for a pinch of pocket lint.
Frankly, the Suns' primary interest was clearing more salary cap space in order to sign LaMarcus Aldridge outright as a free agent. By trading the three players for nothing more than a 2020 second round draft pick (wholly unprotected tho!), the Suns now have enough room under the salary cap to offer Aldridge a contract right now.
