This Just In: Suns sign D.J. Strawberry

I'm sure I speak for Suns fans everywhere when I say Yippee!!! The Suns have signed second-round pick D.J. Strawberry to a two-year deal. He'll get a rookie-minimum deal of $427,163 for the coming season, and a team option for a second year. I'm really excited about this signing. D.J. looks like the real deal with the obvious pride he takes on the defensive end, and he's going to be a lot of fun to watch above the rim too. With the Suns needing to fill two roster spots prior to this, it was probably just a matter of time, but it's good to know the deal is finally done. Congratulations, D.J.!

Yep, awesome signing!!!!!

And it's about damn time.

DJ's everything Banks should've been and he's 6' 5" to boot - with the strength, quickness and athleticism to guard 1-3.

He's a legit combo guard who holds his own at the point. He always plays heads-up and his decision making is a hell of a lot better than one would expect from a rookie.

A 6' 5" playmaker with Matrix's hops and quickness? And Raja's type of tenacity on defense? Ox-strong to boot?

Who wouldn't want him? How DJ slid all the way to #59 is truly beyond me - but mine is NOT to look a gift horse dead in the mouth. ;)

Dare I say that DJ might have a bigger impact than Alando Tucker?

And Banks will be left wondering why his arrogant ass is left collecting splinters.....

Always remember to keep one foot in the groove
