The Suns released Earl Barron today... with Lopez back and Gortat set to start playing for them tomorrow, they don't need Barron now. Any of you thinking that the Spurs need another 7-footer to match up with the Lakers' and Mavs' big lineups should start tweeting and e-mailing Pop immediately. In related news, Houston is seeking a disabled player exception (for Yao's season-ending stress fracture). The exception would allow them to acquire a free agent or trade for a player without matching salaries, up to the amount of the MLE (about $5.75M)
