Whoa.
Phoenix has traded Marcus Morris, Reggie Bullock and Danny Granger to Detroit for future picks, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

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

The Suns have cleared $20M in salary cap space, allowing them to potentially sign LaMarcus Aldridge without the need for a sign-and-trade.

Woj is Woj, but as Dave, Geoff, and myself have said on twitter, I'm not sure the math checks out on that. We will have an update on the numbers as it comes in.
Here's the move that was needed to be able to sign LaMarcus Aldridge, but this also cleans up the wing rotation and the Suns get a little bit more flexibility with Tyson Chandler signing the other day.
More on this as it develops.
UPDATE:
Suns need to get off Markieff Morris/PJ Tucker in sign-and-trades or dumps to get closer to space needed for Chandler and Aldridge.
