Authors note: I’m going to pretend that this isn’t actually the first real post in Hustle and Flow history, suffice to say that WordPress’ generic ‘Hello World’ will do the trick. I’m really no good at introductions.
File this one under ‘everyone saw that coming.’ Sean Marks joins the illustrious list of white Suns backup big men that includes Luc Longley, Jake Voskuhl, Paul Shirley, and Pat Burke by inking a one-year, $1.244 million deal. Some of our more alert readers may remember that the Suns dealt Kurt Thomas to the Sonics earlier this week.
Because this new development has nothing to do with salary cap woes and everything to do with getting past the Spurs and winning a championship in 2008, it is of no interest that only $779,000 of the veterans minimum deal will count toward the cap.
Marks, and eight year veteran, scored 6 points and grabbed 3 rebounds in three appearances for the Suns last year. No, those are not averages, they are cumulative totals.
