With the way he has been playing as of late, I would question it. I think he would be a solid backup SG. He still can hit the 3, but has lost a few steps. We need that mentality and 3pt shooting.
I would like to see Tuck get some more mins when he is fully healed. See what he can do for us. Barbs is a nice spark plug, but Im not a fan of him as our SG

Re: Few things that NEED to be done.
We need Manu
Or cheaper options like JR Smith...Lou Williams...Stackhouse...or even Mobley if he becomes available somehow...

Re: Few things that NEED to be done.
Let's face it, trading him is a much better option than letting him expire. Also, I like Williams & Smith, but Mobley is going to retire and we don't need to get OLDER. Smith may be available for the right price but his defense sucks balls, and Williams isn't available. Jason Terry on the other hand
ahha JK, he's a pinner @ the 2Gaurd (although we'd probably use him as a 1). If we could give a deal of Bell + Diaw for Terry and a backup PF and Dallas accepted it, I'd go nuts.

Looking at the Wiretap....
Marc Iavaroni NEEDS to come back to Phoenix.

Re: Few things that NEED to be done.
As unfortunate as it is to see Bell slipping defensively, Barbs is just too big a defensive liability to step in as the starter; no matter how much better he is then Bell on the offensive end.
Too many times, I find myself cursing at Amare or Diaw because they are out of position, only to rewind it and find that it was Barbs who broke down and everyone else is left scrambling. I will pass on moving Bell unless it brings back a starter.
I will pass on most of your trades, because they don't bring back a legit starter and Charlotte is not moving JRich for anyone on our roster outside of Nash, Amare, or a combo that include Barbs. Bell and Diaw aren't going to get it done.

Re: Few things that NEED to be done.
Walkingart, I agree Barbosa shouldn't be the starter, but I'd much rather we get a back up PG from a trade like Tinsley and same some money making the trade and open up a spot for us to sign a startable SG (Wells?). Also, my fav deal in all of those is probably Hughes. Anyone see CHI vs WASH? Lighting it up

Re: Few things that NEED to be done.
From Coro's Suns/Bucks outlook:
I wouldn't mind Tucker and Barbo eventually playing more minutes than him, but we need him on our roster.
* You wonder where the future of Raja Bell is with this team. He played 18 minutes Saturday. Other than last season's finale against Portland in which everyone rested, Saturday's game was the first time in Bell's Suns tenure that he had played fewer than 20 minutes. With the game on the line, Terry Porter went with Leandro Barbosa for the final 17:42 of the game. And it's not like he was resting him in a blowout. Bell has 11 points in the past three games on 4-of-16 shooting. Saturday was Bell's second scoreless game this season.

Re: Few things that NEED to be done.
Rsavaj, your proving my point. His production is minimal, and if we can get something in return for him, we should do it. In the end, what matters MOST is production ON COURT, and as long as your not getting a criminal like Ron Artest here but someone who can perform for us, we should be all for it.

"Bell is this, Bell is that, he's not getting traded" "Boris grew a pair, we love him here now" Bet you guys are all eating your words now.
