Suns and Raptors trade

A trade that would make so much sense for both teams, Phoenix trades C/PF Brian Skinner and PG Marcus Banks for Raptors SG Jason Kapono. The Raptors get interior toughness in Brian Skinner and also a quality insurance bakup point in Marcus Banks while Phoenix get 1 of the most deadly accurate shooters in the NBA for their run and gun offense. Both teams benefit form the transaction, Raps get more quality depth and Phoenix adds more firepower for a run to the NBA Championship.

Suns need Skinner for his shot-blocking and defense off the bench

besides, Banks has been shooting the 3 pretty well this season, making it quite pointless to get Kapono

Thats a terrible deal for Phoenix, Skinner is the only real banger they got and where Kapono gonna play on the second unit with Diaw and Barbosa still there?

no way for PHX, and last time Skinner was traded to Toronto he didnt even report, so he can keep his creepy beard in phoenix

As a Toronto fan, I hate it.
