phoenix makes sense since that's the first NBA team he played for before he was traded for Jason Kidd.
Miami might be a option too but he will play more in Phoenix

Yup, I think his most probable destination is PHX, too.

I think Phoenix'd be perfect for him with Joe Johnson seemingly going to Atlanta..

I think Finley will either play in Chicago or Phoenix. He will definitely not playing in Miami and Spurs. Miami already got those 3 new pieces while the Spurs has all the pieces they needed to defend their title. But given the Suns loss Johnson and that the Suns want to continue their speedy offence game. Finley might sign with the Suns.

C'mon Phoenix, please Phoenix. Chicago and Phoenix would be the suitable choices. Chi-town is his hometown and they nbeed help teaching the youngsters. And Phoenix was his first team, and they need him. Plus that record last year will convince some players to go to the desert.

I would have to say Phoenix.

After losing Joe Johnson I don't think they are going to let Michael Finley get away. He might be the best choice at SG available for the Suns, and despite what people say, he can still play very well despite his age.

Phoenix Suns seems a good choice...
Nash, Finley, Amare, Matrix (Y)

HAHA, we barely have enough money to sign Bonner. He would be a nice acquisition but naw.

Phoenix doesn't have too much cash either, but I think Finleys close relationship with Nash and the fact that he could play for a contender will convince him over Chicago any day. No matter where he is from.

And besides the money is not the big deciding factor here as he will get the money he is owed from the Mavericks so he could really take less money to play for a team that has hopes of winning it all.

Indeed, if JJ goes, and with Q-Rich gone too, the Suns need a perimeter scorer. Plus Nash is already recruiting his old pal from Dallas.

No way that Bell will be in starting 5, he's not that progressive player. They must sign Finley as DWeaver said.

Phoenix, though I'd personally prefer he signed elsewhere.
