Suns News - Jumaine Jones, Amare, Boris Diaw, Charles Barkley
Haven't posted for a little while, but I wanted to give everyone an update on what's been going on in the Phoenix Suns organization the last few weeks.
- 8/3/106 - Suns sign 8 year veteran Jumaine Jones to a one year contract. The former Charlotte Bobcat should fit in well w/ the uptempo Suns.
- 9/8/06 - Former Suns star Charles Barkley was inducted into the Hall of Fame; a deserving honor for one of the NBA's best of all time. Buy Charles Barkley collectibles here.
- Amare Stoudemire continues to work himself back into game shape after almost a year of downtime & injuries. The Suns recently brought in Michael Olowokandi to work out and possibly make the team this year. It's highly doubtful he'll make the roster for a variety of reasons: can't dribble, can't run & can't shoot consistantly.
- Boris Diaw and the Suns are both intent on signing a contract extension, but the sides are about $2 million per year apart from each other. Diaw is worth money, but not the maximum and $8 million per year (Suns offer) is pretty generous considering no other team was really interested in him at this time last year; he was a thrown-in with the Joe Johnson deal from the Hawks.
