Brian Grant signs w/ Phoenix Suns for 2-year deal
Recently released from the Los Angeles Lakers by way of the one-time amnesty clause, Brian Grant has reportedly accepted a 2-year, $4 million offer from the Phoenix Suns. This helps bolster the Suns inside presence, particularly in the defense and rebounding areas, which they lacked in the playoffs against the Spurs this year.
Brian Grant is still owed more than $29 million by the Lakers, so he was willing to sign with the Suns for a very low amount. While Grant doesn't have the athleticism of Steven Hunter (recently signed by the 76ers), he will be a valuable addition on the bench backing up Amare Stoudemire and/or Kurt Thomas. Grant has been hurt the past few years, but is reportedly in good shape right now, so it will be interesting to see how well he fits in with the run 'n gun Phoenix Suns.
