    The Phoenix Suns have taken notice that Allan Houston is considering a comeback. The 36-year-old Houston was the league's second-highest paid player last year ($20.7 million) but his $100 million deal expired Sunday.

    Houston missed the last two seasons with chronic knee pain, but is feeling good. Money is not an issue, and Houston wants to play for a winner.

    Im not sure if we need another shooter, especially one with bad knees.
    but a pure shooter that can give us strong minutes may be good.

    Judging how Piatkowski and Burke made the roster I would definitely not be surprised if they wasted money on Houston. Now that Kapono is going to go to the Raptors I'd like to see the Suns push harder for Hill, at least he know he's more serviceable.

    Agreed, plus take a look at the defensive assignments at SG, Houston would have to conted with playing in the West.

    Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson, Jason Terry, Brandon Roy, Monta Ellis, Manu Ginobili.

    I'm not sure what type of condition Houston is in, but I can't see him having the footspeed or jumping ability to deal with those players.

    He'll probably play for 10 minutes at most.
