Manning Accepts One Million Dollar Suns Deal
Suns president Jerry Colangelo announced Danny Manning signed a one year contract worth 1 million dollars. Manning, the 1988 No 1 pick, agreed to join Phoenix for less than market value, joining a team that has posted 53 or more wins in six straight seasons and reached the 1993 NBA Finals. Colangelo cited Manning’s frugal stance as trend setting and highlighted the Suns’ appeal to players despite market size.
