<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Eighteen months ago, a blockbuster trade with the New York Knicks helped pave the way for one of the greatest seasons in Phoenix Suns history. The Pacific Division champions hope deal No. 2 during Tuesday?s NBA Draft will take them even further in 2005-06. The Suns acquired big man Kurt Thomas from the Knicks for Quentin Richardson and the draft rights to Nate Robinson, the 21st pick in the NBA Draft. Phoenix also received the draft rights to swingman Dijon Thompson, the 54th pick. With Thomas, the Suns not only pick up a 10-year NBA veteran, but they get some frontline help in the form of the 6-9, 235-pounder. Last season, the forward/center averaged 11.5 points, a career-high 10.4 rebounds and two assists a night, while shooting 47 percent from the floor. Thomas joined Suns All-Stars Steve Nash and Shawn Marion as one of only nine NBA players to average a double-double. His 661 total defensive rebounds tied for third in the league, trailing only Minnesota?s Kevin Garnett and Marion.</div> Suns.com Here's the Kurt Thomas press conference. He definitely looks weird in a Suns uniform. Suns.com
It wouldn't come up for me, i'll just watch it on FSN. After last season I wanted the Suns to cut Q, so any trade would have made me happy.
