Great pickup by Phoenix. A very good team just got better.

PHILADELPHIA - Bo knows Phoenix.
That is why Bo Outlaw, bought out and waived by Memphis on Monday, has committed to sign with the Suns. He is expected to join the team Sunday in Chicago. Dallas and Miami also were interested in signing him.
Outlaw, 33, brings a defensive and rebounding presence that the Suns missed when they traded him in a financial move before last season.
But two enjoyable years in Phoenix (2001-02 and 2002-03) helped get the 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward back.
"I love that guy," said Suns center Jake Voskuhl. "He makes us tougher and better and gives us an edge. He covers other guys' mistakes. I'm super-excited."
Outlaw was owed $6.6 million in the final year of his deal. He cleared waivers Wednesday.
Outlaw will earn the veteran's minimum of $1.1 million with the Suns, most of which is paid out of a league fund.
Either Yuta Tabuse or Steven Hunter is likely to go on the injured list when Outlaw is signed.
