The Suns will have a full front office when Steve Kerr eases into the general manager's chair next Wednesday. Suns vice president of basketball operations David Griffin has declined an offer to become the next vice president and general manager of the Memphis Grizzlies in order to remain with the only organization he's ever worked for -- and work side-by-side with Kerr.

Griffin said he made the decision late Thursday night and called former Suns assistant and new Grizzlies coach Marc Iavaroni before informing Memphis owner Michael Heisley on Friday.

"It was a difficult decision because it's a very attractive situation and someone else will benefit from my decision and prosper there," Griffin said Friday from the NBA pre-draft camp in Orlando. "But I feel like I have, and the Suns have, unfinished business and it just wouldn't feel right to leave."
