Who's the Best Candidate for a PHX Comeback?

Ok - one of the things we've all remarked on is the ability of our med/training team to help players overcome long-standing injuries and turn back the clock - GHill, Shaq, Nash and his back/shoulder troubles. Stat's return from microfracture should count as well.

Bearing in mind that at least Hil land Nash are committed and diligent in the maintenance and rehab of their bodies (and Stat worked very hard to come back from his surgery as well), then who looks like a candidate for a dip in the PHX Fountain of Youth? (Check the Bright Side cartoon re this)

Last year I thought Darius Miles, this offseason we all wondered what the staff could do for TChandler -
what about Jonathan Bender. I don;'t know what the guy's rep is for working, as that's a huge part.
But who do you all think we could revive?

Mohammed Sene, he's still only 23 years old and was a lottery pick just a few seasons ago. If anyone can get him into shape it would be the Suns training staff and he would bring size and shot blocking which is what the Suns need.

Leon Powe. I'm sure the Celtics aren't gonna re-sign him. They just accepted a deal with Glen Davis so they are pretty much stacked at PF and Center.

You KNOW he still has the itch, could defend better then anyone currently on the roster (even at his age), and hit a couple 3's per game for us. I vote Thunder Dan as Player/Coach!!!

I was hoping Livingston would be a good candidate, but OKC beat us to the punch.

Yeah that was a steal for OKC...Same with the Thabo deal

How about LaFrentz

Oliver Miller.

If suns training staff can condition the guy back to healthy body composition levels while being able to play decent basketball in the paint - I'll give the Suns training staff a pat on the back and 10,000 bonus star points for achievement.

I was thinking Tyson Chandler too. We've helped Amare come back from MF surgery, Shaq rejuvenate his career and Hill play 82 games, I'm sure we can fix a little toe.

Jay Williams? I mean, let's try for a miracle!
