Ok here are some reasons :lol:

Why Richardson is better than...

Jason Terry-A SG in a PG's body and basically a less quick version of Barbosa and don't the Suns already have the better player in Barbosa?

Manu Ginobili-Extremely overated because of Duncan and Parker, I'd take Jamal Crawford over him

T-Mac-He's having injury problems now and will likely never be the same player he once was so this isn't the same T-Mac as a few years ago, Richardson is better now.

Kevin Martin-If Richardson was the only guy that can score on a team and was made "the man" he would put up the same stats at the least or even better.

Eric Gordon-The only thing going for him is his rookie contract but other than that he's undersized and a less explosive scorer than J-Rich.

I think I would take any one of these players over JRich. I can't imagine what universe you live in.
Some Phil Dickian parallel where the Axis won the war, time runs backwards, clowns read the 6 o'clock news and when you go to a game the arena and all the people fade away and leave you standing there on a flat, dead plain with a scrap of paper that says "basketball game" in your hand.


Yes of course, from that list I would take Bryant, Ellis, Roy and Mayo over J-Rich but I would take J-Rich over the rest.

Spurs never win it all when Ginobili isn't healthy, and Jamal Crawford over him? Dude honestly can you hook me up with whatever ur taking?

If Ginobili is placed with another 20PPG scorer they would be the same team or maybe even better considering Ginobili lacks athleticism

Imagine Ginobili's defense and b-ball IQ in J-Rich's body... Now that would be a player

lol Crawford over Ginobili??? I hate Ginobili as much as the next Suns fan, but damn taking Crawford of Ginobili is seriously short-changing Ginobili's importance to the Spurs.

Why is everyone anti-J-RICH?

Yes he cannot drive, cannot handle his liquor, and is getting paid more than Sarver would like - but....

who in the world is going to score if Amare is not available due to his inconsistent injury history?

Besides Nash and Barbosa off the bench - when Amare is out of the lineup the club is left with a bunch of stiffs that cannot score a lick. This includes Hill, Frye, Lopez, Dudley, Dragic, Tucker, Clark, and Amundson. None of them can score.

J-Rich is instant offense. If Amare is not available, J-RICH is your only option - unless u wanna overload Barbosa and take away passing ability of Nash.

Stupid idea to trade J-RICH.

Furthermore, no team wants him anyways..........

JRich is fine. He is over paid, but so is just about every player who received a contract three years ago. JRich is better than most starting 2 guards in the league. It is funny to me when people want to talk about Jrich they have to compare him to Kobe, Roy, Manu and others. Those guys are the best of the best, right now.

Get over Jrich's contract first, there is nothing we or Saver can do about it. Focus on what he Does bring to the team. Explosive scoring and contribution to SSOL. Shaq being gone will have all of you "Rich Haters" on his D***..............shut yo mouth. Defense schmefense..Whateva. We don't play it. Lets not play defense and get back to winning 60 plus games and going to the West Finals. Got to put the ball in play to have a chance at a hit.

I hate JRich's contract, but I like the player. What is wrong with your number 3 option on O averaging 18 pts 5 rebs a game?? It could be a lot worse. But of course Suns' fans don't know a good thing we they have it. I have learned that in the past 5 years!!!!!
