The Suns, who have no salary-cap space even with Johnson's departure, could offer Grant as much as the $1.67 million, biannual exception. Grant has several suitors, but Phoenix may be mainly battling Miami, the same team expected to scoop up Michael Finley if he is also an amnesty waiver at Monday's deadline.

"We're talking to the Suns, and Brian (Grant) had a good impression of everyone there," said Mark Bartelstein, Grant's agent. "We had good talks and a good feeling for Phoenix."

Injuries limited Grant, 33, to career lows in starts (eight) and numbers (3.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game) last season, but his respected work ethic and character remain as positives. With Steven Hunter signing with Philadelphia, Grant could provide a defensive, rebounding option in the post behind Kurt Thomas and Amaré Stoudemire.


If Zo takes a hike, Miami would probably go after grant. They still have their MLE and could sign both Finley($3mil) and Grant($2mil). They'd be stacked!

5 mill for two guys that cant stay healthy and that are about toast.

Makes sense......

Well if Phoenix is really serious about not being a running team then Grant is really the way to go. The only fast break potential on him is that his knees could go at any second. It's not like he even really brings a lot of veteran playoff experience or anything like that. I could be wrong but IIRC his only big playoff experience was with the 99 Blazers. He's not much of a pickup on either squad but Miami probably needs the depth a little more given Shaq's injuries and the fact that Antoine Walker could very well turn into pine rider if he's still the same old 'Toine in Miami.

Please, please, please sign Brian Grant Phoenix. Tim Duncan owns him more than he owns any player in the league.

Please?

Oh man, all I know is whoever signs him will be taken to a whole new level, a level the Spurs could never reach.

Damn you Brian Grant!!!

Please, please, please sign Brian Grant Phoenix

Either Phoenix or Miami.

Either way it helps the Spurs out.
