    How long do they claim him for? Just this season and then he becomes UFA?

    Fixed. Pretty solid line-up. Are Redd, Hill and Brown gone for sure?

    Assuming they sign OJ Mayo. Pheonix has a very interesting combination of veterans and young players. Beasley played well in Minny and a change in venue could re-energize both his and Mayo's career.

    Dragic - Marshall
    Mayo - Childress
    Beasley - Dudley
    Scola - Morris
    Gortat - Lopez/Frye

    They have a good chance to be a playoff team this upcoming season.

    Hell No! I would not like Scola to go to the hated Spurs. Down here in the RGV it is Spurs Country and I would have never heard the end of it from the Spurs fans at work. I am the lone Rockets fan at work and it has been hell with all the Spurs fans.

    Thank god, Luis didn't end up in our division. I think it's a good fit for Scola. He'll step into the starting role, play next to an effective big man, and his point guard comes straight from his old team. He could have done worse. I think Luis will quickly become a fan favorite in the Phoenix area.

    Congratulations, Luis, and make the doubters here eat their words.

    Wish OKC would have made a run at him. He would have fit perfectly there. Wish him the best with PHX tho. He'll definitely be missed!

    They don't give trophies that says "Better than the Rockets".

    Same contract he had with us. Suns pay whatever their high bid was and we pay the difference until the end of the original contract.

    If they get Mayo for some reason, they're a squad that would sort of remind me of the Nuggets. Good players at every position with good players/backups coming off the bench (some of who could start on other teams).

    them in playoffs attracts other player considering they have cap. We will just sit and watch for the next 3 years looking at our summerleague team last night.

    Should be really interesting to see if the Suns land the 14th pick now.
