Report: Suns get Jermaine O'Neal

Quote:

The Phoenix Suns have agreed to terms with veteran center Jermaine O'Neal on a one-year contract worth $1.35 million, according to a report by the Arizona Republic.

A six-time All-Star, O'Neal spent the last two seasons with the Boston Celtics, where he was limited to 49 games because of knee and wrist injuries. He averaged 5.0 points and 5.4 rebounds this past season.

In an attempt to revive his career, O'Neal went to Germany this summer to receive the Orthokine treatment on both of his knees. Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez and Grant Hill also have had that procedure performed in the past.

The 6-foot-11 O'Neal, who will turn 34 years old in October, has career averages of 13.7 points and 7.4 rebounds in 911 games. With the Suns, O'Neal will provide depth in the frontcourt for a team that traded center Robin Lopez this offseason.

A bit of a head scratcher, guess he's looking to revive his career in Phoenix. I'd much rather the Suns take a chance on someone like Oden though.

But does Oden want to come to PHX?? Two way street on these things.. I heard Oden had interest or was already committed to Minne.
