    That is why Bo Outlaw, bought out and waived by Memphis on Monday, has committed to sign with the Suns. He is expected to join the team Sunday in Chicago. Dallas and Miami also were interested in signing him.

    Outlaw, 33, brings a defensive and rebounding presence that the Suns missed when they traded him in a financial move before last season.</div>

    I think this is a good pick up for the Suns. He was a great energy guy off the bench for the Suns while he was here a couple of seasons ago. He should provide instant energy and help bang with the other PF's in the West.

    This was actually one of the teams I thought he would go to, I had Phoenix, maybe Miami, and New Jersey.

    He can start at center for the team, and he'll bring some defense, shot blocking, rebounding, and a lot of energy, but not too much offense, but that isn't needed. Good signing for the team.

    How big is Bo? I remember him playing C on occasion.

    Anyways great deal. Bo was my favorite Sun in the seasons he played for us.

    The big question is who moves to the injured list? Vroman? Not likely given the fact they started the guy. Hunter? Most likely, but it would hurt frontcourt depth. Tabuse? That would kill the publicity he brings.

    Man, I really felt we would have won 10 more games last year had we had Bo's energy and defense and stability on the floor. This year with Bo and Jake and Vroman in the frontcourt along with barbosa and Q in the backcourt I say we beat the lakers and the kings and win the division with all that speed and energy (though our frontcourt bench won't score much so Amare and MArion will log heavy minutes still). We need Zarko to become the player he needs to be so his offense (the reason we drafted him) would flesh out our bench (granted we'd have to send Hunter and Yuta both to the IL).
