Props to Peter Holt.
You all should be familiar with Sharrod Ford.

Props to Peter Holt.
Good for Ford.
I like Ford. It's too bad the Spurs didn't have the space.
I can't wait until Beno is dropped for nothing so the Spurs can maximize the lux tax distribution. It'll be interesting to see if Holt Cat gets their tounge then.
I can't find any scouting info on him; what's the scoop? Will he contribute or be a chair warmer?
Two open roster spots.
The Suns needed to do this.
Their backup bigs in Tischer, Reiner and Burke are embarrassing. Ford is definitely a step up.
He looked like a NBA player.
He's actually pretty good. Of the three players the Spurs looked at (Ford, Melvin Sanders, Stephen Graham), he's by far the most NBA ready. He has the size, athleticism and the skill to be an NBA player. He just has to put it all together.
His leaping ability should be a perfect match when paired with Steve Nash. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he eventually steals Brian Grant's minutes.
Athletic. Good rebounder. Active defender that can block some shots. Can score a little. Nice pickup for the Suns.
agree 100%, but Burke has an inkling of potential to play. If Ford can run then he should get playing time.
What's the Holt Cat jockers spin on this?
The Suns signed training camp fodder.
Their point?
The only reason he's not on the Spurs is because the Spurs didn't want to pay the luxury tax penalty. Otherwise, he was a no-brainer addition as a 14th man.
No money though. Rasho will burn!!
Whats the spin?
They signed a 5th string forward.
Should the Spurs hand the season over to the Suns now?
Overreact much?!?!
Why help your enemy?
If the Spurs signed everybody you ed about them not signing they'd have a bigger roster than the Cowboys.
Yet the Suns signing him means doom for the Spurs.14th man.
Makes sense.
You should replace Reiner with my friend Noel Felix. I know that his agent was talking to the Suns this week.
Reiner is the player we most made fun of in summer league of 2004 when we went to Rocky Mt. Revue. Oh wait .. he was second. Jamison Brewer was the most laughed at.
Who is talking about doom?
Oh yes, Ford will replace Stoudamire and make Phoenix totally forget hes gone.Why help your enemy?
lol, uh ok....
I thought Ford wasn't kept because he was an undersized PF that wouldn't be able to transmit his game to the SF spot. With Horry fulfilling the role of the undersized PF for the next 2 years, there just wasn't going to be a role for Ford. /shrug Wish him luck in Phoenix where his style of play should match up well with Nash & co.

Jared Reiner on the Suns might be the weirdest match I could imagine. Perhaps JWill on the Jazz could top it.
