Now we have a solid backup F/C to replace Marc Jackson and also we have someone who is ready to play unlike the rookies we signed.

Your thoughts?

good sign by the sixers . he will be excellent back-up to sammy . (Y) (Y)

The Suns are looking pretty thin on the front line, This might mean Paul Shirley may get some PT. :lol:

good pickup for the 6ers... a good legit backup

They needed to get someone and they did well in getting Hunter
Im surprised he went to them though...

But him and Outlaw are still unsinged :)

Right now the Suns only have two player over 6'7, and thats there two starters, Amare and Kurt :? Can you say fast break?

yess, thats what ive been hoping for all the time. seriously, there were these polls at the Sixers website asking which FA would help them the most and i voted for hunter all the time. the Sixers were in desperate need of a good big man, especially after that Jackson trade, so this is a very good move.

Nice signing. He's very athletic and can give a couple of solid minutes off the bench :P

Good signing, but I didn't really like the move they made getting rid of Marc J. I really liked his contribution.

I think Hunter'll be a better backup than Jackson and the offseason is really hurting the Suns this season. Hunter was a very good backup to Amare last season.

decent signing i guess. hunter hasn't lived up to his expectations for being picked in the lottery and hasn't improved noticeably skill wise.

i was thinking the sixers could use a bruiser to compliment dalembert/webber instead but hey, the dude is tall and can jump

Good backup replacement but Marc Jackson leaving is disappointing.
