Diaw and Bell aren't scrubs...plus Richardson just had knee surgery and even though I think he is a really good player this trade is more risky for the Suns than the Bobcats.

Diaw is good when he tries and Bell is a lockdown defender who can shoot threes. Weird trade I admit but eh, hopefully it helps both teams.

Diaw averages 8 points and less then 4 boards a game for 9 million a year
Bell only has a few more good years in him and can't get 10 points a game as a #2

How are they not scrubs?


This reminds me too much of the days of the Charlotte Hornets when they traded away all their good players....Kobe Bryant, Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning, Dell Curry.

I just hope they don't complain that much when Larry Brown can't pull a miracle out of his hat.
