JRich to the Suns

[Kidd Karma]

Jared Dudley and Jason Richardson has been traded to the Phoenix Suns for Boris Diaw and Raja Bell.

With 2 defensive pieces in Bell and Barnes at their wing spots, the Suns add a little more offense to the 2 spot. Add Dudley to take on Diaws minutes, basically changes the system a bit, giving the team another creator. Bell goes to a defensive minded coach and should do well in Brown's system.

With Charlotte in town, Cats more than likely will be playing shorthanded, though they did sign Juwan Howard earlier in the day.

Rich will really benefit from Nash and he now opens up the 3 line shooting 46%. This in return opens the lane up for Shaq and Amare. Dudley will be ok. Barnes will have to be superman guading guys like Kobe. Phx is thin and could be injuy prone. They could possibly run anybody out of the gym now if healthy but can they guard anyone and are they to thin off the bench. Nash, Shaq and Hill are almost done, they had to make a move.

It makes you wonder with this team running like they can and will, can Shaq keep this pace.
