    <div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>With free agent P.J. Brown in no hurry to sign, the Suns are looking at other frontcourt options. Today, they will work out NBDL rebounding champion Elton Brown, 6-foot-8 veteran Michael Ruffin, ex-Sun Zarko Cabarkapa and ex-Arizona State star Mario Bennett, 34.

    Vitaly Potapenko, an 11-year pro who is back in shape, will visit Thursday, and wide body Mike Sweetney, center Brian Skinner and 20-year-old wing Yaroslav Korolev are expected next week. Phoenix scouted Esteban Batista in the FIBA Americas Championship and has not ruled out Pat Burke.</div></p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Suns will sign a big man to a nonguaranteed contract to fill their final roster spot before camp begins, a source close to the situation said. </p>

    The Suns were also interested in having ex-Chicago Bull Michael Sweetney come in, but plans for a workout were canceled and there is now doubt that he will be in Phoenix's plans for next season. Brian Skinner, another player believed to be under consideration by the Suns, has dropped from the radar, as has ex-Sun Jake Tsakalidis.</div></p>

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but ... </p>

    Brian Skinner, another player believed to be under consideration by the Suns, <u>has dropped from the radar</u></p>

    I was surprised to see Yaroslav Korolev, I thought he had one more season left with the Clippers.</p>
