They just signed Louis Amundsen

Lou is a game changer, just ask him:

The Suns never were mistaken as the toughest team but this summer's moves aim to at least create a bench with an edge.

The Suns continued a toughening theme Thursday, signing 25-year-old power forward Louis Amundson to bring energy and defense to the bench.

Amundson, who is 6 feet 9 and 225 pounds, is fully guaranteed for 2008-09 on a minimum deal worth $711,517. The Suns hold a team option to bring him back for 2009-10.
"I'm a high-energy, athletic player who can run the floor," Amundson said after working out Thursday with new teammates Boris Diaw and D.J. Strawberry. "I take pride in my defense. I like to get in there and change the game with my athleticism."

Ben Wallace modeled his game after Louis Amundson, the year the Pistons won the championship.

He does tip a lot of balls. It then becomes a free for all who gets the ball. Dogs would love playing with Lou. It would give them a chance to retreve the ball. Hey Lou, tip it to me!

Hopefully he'll bring a lot of the same business suits he wore on the Sixers' pine with him to Phoenix.

Luis Amundson doesn't have cells. He's like the sun, he's pure energy.

Lou looks like the perfect guy that might turn up at a Metallica or Slayer concert drinking bottled water,lol. Excuse me!

Good for Lou. He gets more coin and a seat at the end of the bench. Sadly, it means that the only Kiwi in the league, likely will have no job. It was nice knowing you Sean Marks. There are some openings on Aussie teams - much closer to home.

While the Amundsen-Stoudemire combo presents a historical and formidable frontcourt, the West will be won by the Kobe-Bynum tag-team. :party:
