Gilbert Arenas to Orlando for Rashard Lewis.
Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu to Orlando for Marcin Gortat, Vince Carter, Michael Pietrus, 2011 1st round pick and $3,000,000.
Well, Orlando was in a funk so I guess they felt they needed to make a change. Not sure if I like it though. Time will tell.
Absolutely, we had to do something. We were at best the 4th best team in the East. It's taking a chance, but something had to be done. What we need now is the Pistons to buyout Ben Wallace's contract so we can snatch him up.
Rashard Lewis was horrible, he was starting despite being the 4th best option at PF, after Bass, Anderson, and Gortat. I woulda traded him away for a bag of chips. And I don't even like chips.
We got the best player out of it all, Jason Richardson. Anyone who thinks Carter is just as good as J-Rich is crazy. In fact, we probably got the 2nd best player out of it as well, I'd take Arenas over Carter too. At least Arenas tries.
And I think the trade really fills alot of needs for the Suns. Channing Frye had no business playing any center, and now he won't have to. Pietrus and Gortat bring defense, Carter brings ticket sales and false hope. I wonder when Sarver will sell the draft pick for nothing, so the pick can thrive somewhere else, like Rondo and Nate.
