The Suns could control the free agent market this winter

Looks increasingly like free agency will begin on or around December 1, 2020 — just after the Draft and the Thanksgiving holiday — and the Phoenix Suns just might be in the driver’s seat for the best free agents looking for a new team.

Allow me to lay it out for you.

Salary cap space

The cap will likely stay the same this year, at $109.1 million, meaning the Suns could create about about $18 million in cap space, if they are willing to renounce their special over-the-cap re-signing (Bird) rights to Dario Saric, Aron Baynes, Frank Kaminsky, Cameron Payne, Jevon Carter, Cheick Diallo, Elie Okobo.
