When nothing is good

The 2006 NBA draft was very memorable for the Suns. It's not too tough to remember nothing. That's exatly what the Suns got in the draft. In fact, the Suns left the draft with one less player than they had before the draft, despite having two picks in the first round.
Why am I not complaining?
Because that's exactly what the Suns needed to do. The Suns didn't need to waste money on some players that wouldn't play or get sent to the NBDL. By trading their draft picks for cash, they will have money to sign Tim Thomas, and maybe even get contract extensions for Leandro Barbosa and Boris Diaw (lets not get ahead of ourselves yet).
By getting rid of Brian Grant (and his salary) the Suns freed up some more money to possibly go after someone in the free agent market (Backup point guard, anyone?).
As it is the Suns' roster shapes up like this:

Steve Nash
Shawn Marion
Amare Stoudemire
Kurt Thomas
Boris Diaw
Raja Bell
Leandro Barbosa
James Jones
Pat Burke
Dijon Thompson
Tim Thomas (hopefully)


If the Suns can get a quality backup PG (Bobby Jackson?) they really would have no holes. As it is currently, this team is a championship contender. Add Amare Stoudemire to a team that was 2 wins from the Finals? That's better than any trade or draft pick a team could ask for.
Well, we'll see what happens the rest of the summer. I'm already excited for the 06-07 season.
