Fans on the Suns board seem to be disappointed they couldn't keep Skinner. I didn't watch the Suns or Skinner much last year, but they concensus over there is that Skinner is a very solid player. Makes me feel even better about this signing.
skinner did very well for the suns last year. he replaced kurt thomas and did a great job. one of the games the lakers played the suns last year skinner was making a lot of baskets getting board and blocks and then doing all the dirty work. i like him a lot as a player and he is an improvement over powell. i just think that powells jumpshot developed a lot last year and is probably better than skinners.
for the last 2 roster spaces id like either cassell or livingston and then ross. id love to have all three of them to have more players from that run in 06, but theres no use for 4 pgs (taylors going to the dleague) because then we'll have the same problem the rockets had.
