In the offseason the Phoenix Suns signed restricted free-agent guard Quentin Richardson to a lucrative multi-year contract and this year they'll have a restricted free-agent of their own to negotiate with, Joe Johnson.

According to a source close to Peter Vecsey, the Suns' significant scorer (16.7 last season) who also can rebound and pass, appears to be inflexible regarding his $10M per demand, which will be problematic for Phoenix, who gave away a lot of it's cap mobility when they signed Richardson and Steve Nash.
