http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/ar ... ition.htmlIt's probably this. Usually when teams have a "Major Announcement" it means that they are going to play somewhere special for a game.

Ya, a trade would have been leaked before the Suns could announce it in an official presser.

He's not the GM. Not sure why it's getting confused. We're still supposed to name a GM after his hiring.
PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have scheduled a "major announcement" on Tuesday amid widespread speculation that agent Lon Babby will be named the team's president for basketball operations.
Babby represents the Suns' newly acquired Hedo Turkoglu and is the former agent of Phoenix's other recent addition, Josh Childress.
In recent days, Babby emerged as the leading contender in Suns owner Robert Sarver's search for a replacement for general manager Steve Kerr, who stepped down at the end of June and has returned to his previous role of NBA analyst for TNT.
The team's brief news release said only that a "major announcement" would be made at a news conference on Tuesday, with Sarver and coach Alvin Gentry among those in attendance.
Babby, one of the most respected agents in the business, also represents the Suns' Grant Hill, San Antonio's Tim Duncan and Boston's Ray Allen. He also has represented baseball players and served as attorney for the Baltimore Orioles and the NFL's Washington Redskins.

I remember them pulling this stuff last year and it turned out to be something lame like the Suns renewing their contract with KTAR. What a buzz kill that was...
