    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">According to the Detroit News, the Phoenix Suns have met with Lindsey Hunter and apparently offered him their bi-annual exception, which would pay him $3 million over the next two seasons.

    Hunter, who is leaning toward returning for a 14th season, has said he wants to finish his career with the Pistons</div>

    Even though they didn't get him, I failed to understand the reasoning behind this one??

    Why not? Hunter is a ballhawk and can hit the occasional 3.

    I don't see how Hunter would suceed in this system as a 2nd/3rd string PG, doesn't suit his defense and his body.

    True... Suns aren't known for their defense, and Hunter is a good defender. Doesn't really fit their offensive needs. Probably just want him for defense, because Amare is coming back and want to be good at both ends?

    Would he be a fill-in if House leaves?
