Richardson, Dudley, 2010 2nd round pick for Diaw, Bell and Singletary. Well looks like the Bobcats just got crappier.

Wow, great trade for pheoniz. Now they actually have a shooting guard that can create his own shot.

i had a feeling Richardson wasn't Larry Brown's kinda guy.

Who is?

ouch, phoneix sounds like it's ready to start from the ground up...amare next? maybe nash?

Do you think richardson will play tonight?

 

[Moo2K4]

None of these guys can play until they pass a physical. There's no chance in hell JRich suits up tonight for Phoenix.

I'm thinking not. The Suns aren't giving up by any means. JRich is an upgrade offensively, which will help to an extent. However, he's not exactly a good defender...so I'm not sure how well he'll fit in Terry Porter's system. If D'Antoni was the coach still, he'd have been the perfect fit for that system.

 

[Dark Defender]

This would have been a great move if D'Antoni was still coaching, Richardson has turned into a shooter since his Golden State days.

 

[soul driver]

yeah, I did exaggerate a bit I guess. those players were on the Suns for a while, so the chemistry will be even worse now than it was at the start of the season, I guess I mean.

i really hoped VC goes to phoenix anlongside Sean for Diaw, Barbosa and picks...

he could have helped them a lot more than J-Rich.
And we could have got 2 starters for him (Barbosa - SG, Diaw - SF)
