j rich to the suns

Wow. Suns are trying to win the championship!!
But Suns won't make to the Final.
They don't have depth to pull it off.

IMO, it's Lose-Lose trade.

So Charlotte has now effectively turned the draft rights to Brandan Wright into Boris Diaw and Raja Bell. Hmm.

Poor Sean Singletary will be joining his fourth team since draft night. Darrell Arthur has also been with four teams, but in his case it was only draft rights that were being traded - he was never actually signed until he landed with Memphis. Singletary has been traded three times since being signed.

Wow. Another gutsy move by Kerr. If Dudley can give them some decent minutes this is a good deal for them. Although they traded their only defensive player in the backcourt. We'll have to see how it works out.

P.S. Poor Singletary is getting tossed like a salad

There is nothing gutsy about this move for Kerr -- this is a no brainer. A no no brainer. If the deal is going down as advertised, he jsut snagged a star player for a couple of roleplayers, one of whom is 35. Won't help Amare's whining about being the unquestioned "man", but that's a huge talent upgrade to make them potent once more.

^^Yeah. The only thing that concerns me is the Suns depth in the frontcourt. I forgot about Lopez, they must have enough confidence in him to play big minutes

I think Michael Jordan is angry that Isiah Thomas was hogging all the attention for being the worst GM in basketball. MJ is fast staking a claim for being the worst of all time!!

I've been to several Bobcat games and seen Jason Richardson the only player that could make the crowd cheer. Now that hes gone theres going to be more noise in Charlottes libraries

Good for the Suns, they needed a better scoring option...won't put them where they want to be, but they'll be better.

Michael Jordan =GPOAT, but continues to make poor personnel decisions. Bad trade for Charlotte - declining/underperforming/scrub talent (Bell/Diaw/SS), and limited financial relief. Charlotte might be worse with this move...

I think that Diaw is pretty talented and a pretty smart player. Just think he was not a) being utilised properly and b) wasnt getting enough playing time.

As for the rest of the trade, I'm on the fence. I dont know what to think about it so far. Its not a bad trade for phx, I just dont think it puts them over the top. I'll just wait and see I guess.

Yeah, Singletary has been passed around more than Houston was in 1999 when she made her famous movie.

This is a mind-boggingly bad trade for Charlotte. Do they even lose any salary? Diaw is really a pretty terrible rebounder. What were they thinking? They should have at least gotten a first rounder out of Phoenix.

No thanks to Gerald Wallace. Great player but he's always injured and would probably get in the way of Donte Greene's development.
