Awesome move for Phx ... if D'Antoni was still the coach.

They don't have much bench though.

Steve kerr sucks. he wants Phoenix to be more defensive so he trades the only person who can defend on the perimetre? AND he does a decent job on kobe. sigh

As a suns fan...i just got an erection!

The thought that we could be runnin an gunnin again with nash playin in his element makes me hard i wont lie.

lol

But seriously i think this move could payoff if we can get the chemistry working.

Starting 5

1. Nashty Nash
2. J-Rich
3. Barnes
4. STAT
5. Shaq

thats a pretty deadly quintet right there.

Too bad we play the lakers today with out Raja...or Boris...or Defense

Shaq isn't supposed to play today - it is one of his games off.

May have to play with Diaw, Bell and Singletary gone.

Shaq is out as his Grandma died.

Wonder how the other guys feel about going from a playoff team to a lottery team

I find it interesting how Phoenix and Dallas have each been conference finalists or better at some point in the last few seasons, yet both have royally fucked themselves by trying to trade their way to a better team.

Although since Bell was reportedly not happy at Porter's new coaching style for the team, I guess they probably just wanted to get something of value for him while they still could.

they need to get rid of Nash, not that he's bad but he doesn't fit the 1/2 court set Suns are trying to play

IMO Nash will end up in NY in 2010

This trade will do nothing for a team that needs defence, not offence.

Hmmmmm....... a few hours ago I was driving around and had a real bad pain in my 'rear end'.... Didn't think much about it until I got home to watch the Lakers/Suns game. That bad pain turned into a real bad burning pain, I was almost crying......

I now know that pain was the Bobcats getting absolutely butt-jobbed by the Suns (without KY jelly). Is Diaw and Bell seriously the best we could get for J-Rich and to chuck in Dudley and a pick, c'mon..... If it was just J-Rich I'd say butt-jobbed (with KY), but with the others, it's definitely without KY.

Has Kerr got locker room photo's of MJ hooking up with prostitutes or something????

Is it hard to believe that by the end of trade time that the only starter we could have that started the season is Okafor? Crash is getting shopped, Felton is getting shopped, J-Rich is gone. Please make McMay be-gone as well.

MJ is god on the Court, as a GM he's f**ked....

I defended MJ earlier this year regarding his work as a GM with the Bobcats..Wow, I am now leaving the room with my tail between my legs...


TR, what's up with Crash? DNP today?

They mentioned on ESPN yesterday that his grandmother passed away, and since they are playing a back-to-back he's unavailable.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Crash isn't traded in the next 72 hours, along with Felton.

This sh*ts me.. The Clips wanted J-Rich for Kaman. At the time I didn't like it, now I would do backflips for that trade. At least Kaman fills a hole at C and allows Okafor to play the 4.

People are saying that this allows more minutes for Morrison. If Morrison was any good I wouldn't mind. What a waste of a 3rd pick.

This trade bites the big one... Suns make out like bandits.

not bad trade. suns now dnt hav a decent deffender or much of a bench but hav an explosive offensive weapon that culd take he pressure of STAT and nash as he ages

Phoenix, great pick-up. Though Nash is really pissed about losing his best mate Raja...

Bobcats.... whats the point? They had a chance to get Kaman from the nuggets for J-rich, passed it over for Raja (OLD) and Diaw (nothing without D'Antonio's system).... so whats the point?

MJ was probably distracted by the slanted green on the 7th when he got the call....
