Great trade!!!! Boris is lazy and over paid! Raja is old and he has lost a step or two! Tire of his complaining about everything
Richardson should help the defense since he is so long and athletic and he is a great shooter!!!!!

Must be great kool-aide your drinking. Richardson is a great talent, but this didn’t solve the Suns biggest problem which is Shaquille Oneal. He is slow, can’t play defense any more and clogs up the middle which plays against Richardson’s greatest strength, his ability to drive to the hoop. And for all the talk about defense, they just lost their best defender. I liked Boris. He had his issues, but he was smart and arguably their best one on one offensive player.

Let’s face it, the Suns are boring and it isn’t going to get better.

Could not agree more. This team needed a perimeter scorer in the half-court to counter with the low post presence of Shaq and Amare, and Richardson should fill that role nicely.

I think we are a bit better. I don’t know how much better but the suns are definitely better. My gut feeling is that Kerr is waiting on the right offer for Amare. Honestly Amare is the most gifted big man in the league but doesn’t have the “barkley” attitude of not wanting to lose. No reason he should not be averaging at least 10 to 11 boards a game. This is what I think kerr sees this too. If the Suns landed Bosh for Amare, I would have us as the front runners for the Championship! Again I love amare but hate his rebounding motivation!
