I thought they were rebuilding.

Apparently not. They resigned Grant Hill too but no extension on Amar'e yet though.

The Suns are strange...they make some moves to cut salary (giving away Kirk Thomas to Seattle, not signing JJ to a 6 year 50 million dollar contract, giving Shaq away, etc.), then they make moves like this one that take on alot of salary.

Nash is still a really good pg but he is slowing down. I am surprised he got 11 million a year.
