Oh well, Phoenix gets a little bigger, tougher now off the bench... http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-sunsmoves&prov=ap&type=lgns PHOENIX (AP) -- Bo Outlaw signed a one-year contract Monday to rejoin the Phoenix Suns, who missed his tough post play last season. The Suns said the 6-foot-8 forward would join them for Tuesday night's game at the Chicago Bulls. To make room, the Suns placed guard Yuta Tabuse, the first Japanese-born player to make an NBA roster, on the injured list with a right quadriceps strain. Outlaw, 33, won fans for his defense and hard-nosed play during two seasons with Phoenix, when he averaged 4.7 points and 4.6 rebounds. He received the Dan Majerle Hustle Award for the 2002-03 season. But the Suns dealt Outlaw and center Jake Tsakalidis to Memphis for Brevin Knight, Robert Archibald and Cezary Trybanski on Sept. 30, 2003. He averaged 6.0 points and 5.3 rebounds with Memphis, which released him Nov. 1.
Great pickup for the Suns. Outlaw is a steal for the veteran's minimum! Phoenix could use another rebounding tough guy under the hoop. He is only 6'8" but can play decent minutes at Center for them since their other Centers are more finesse guys.
