The new CBA limits their ability to do so. Can’t use the MLE if you are in the tax. Can’t sign buyout guys if you are in the tax. The team with the highest payroll will automatically pick last in the first round. Anyone in the tax has to to 110% salary matching for trades instead of 125%.
My understanding is that these penalties will not take place until you hit the 2nd apron over the tax, so $17 million over the luxury tax threshold. You can still pay the tax and use the taxpayer MLE, etc. the suns can operate in this space with marginal cost cutting from this year
This CBA change does likely preclude the Suns from spending Warriors and Clippers type of payroll, which they potentially could have done.

Their roster for next year, provided they don’t cut anyone non-guaranteed, is paying $163m for seven players
That ain’t a lot of room to work with under the new CBA, as that is about $3m into the tax with multiple roster spots yet to fill (about $5m in unfilled roster charges).
