    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>After losing out on Tim Thomas, the Suns have come to terms with another ex-Bull in Eric Piatkowski, according to the Arizona Republic.Piatkowski agreed to a two-year, $2.4 million deal with the Suns after spending the last two years in Chicago. Both years are guaranteed and at the minimum for a player of his experience. He can sign July 12.The Suns continue to seek a veteran backup point guard. They have honed in on Lindsey Hunter, 35, now that Bobby Jackson has come to terms with New Orleans. Phoenix will have to beat Detroit for Hunter, who spent 10 of his 13 seasons there. A Hunter deal might start in the range of $1.5 million to $2 million for the first year.In other Suns news, Maciej Lampe is back with the team for the summer league. [READ]</div>Pretty good move. Piatkowski is a good shooter, so I'm sure the Suns could hook him up with some buckets. I guess he is the replacement of Tim Thomas..

    I was talking about this in another thread on this forum...At least the signed him to the minimum. He's a bench warmer that may come in sometimes if we need an extra shooter. He's pathetic at everything other than shooting.

    Should have just taken Gansey with one of their picks.

    Piat won't get much game time for us at all but I do see him playing a bigger role then the likes of Burke and Skita did last year. Other then that Im still amazed we signed him for two years rather then one.

    I don't see him getting much minutes... He would probably be like Pat Burke or something.

    This is a smart move seeing as Tim Thomas left 4 LAC.

    3 problems: Thomas is younger. Thomas is taller. Thomas was fun to watch(funny).
