Looks like Boris wasn't happy here either.

Raja will always be an all time great sun.

Still sad to see Boris go tho. Too bad he lacks the fire to succeed...

I blogged about Boris and his attitude before this came out simply if you listen to him over the last month things really seem to have him looking away from you and the question all together. Good Luck with the Night life in CHarlotte Boris, Im sure that will not be your last stop.
At one time my fav Sun seem to lose complete focus and drive over last 3 years to become a better player.

Boris is truly a system player. When he's put in the right system with the right roles, he's great. When he tried, he was great to watch. It's really too bad that he lacks the fire he had during his MIP season. He's smart, versatile and so fundamentally sound with great court vision and post game. What a waste of talent.

But say all you want about Boris, he's been by far our best post defender. Now with him gone, Lopez is probably our best defender left in the post from what I've seen so far. How sad. Is it irony that Kerr had now traded three of our best defenders (Shawn, Raja and Boris) for offensive minded players in Shaq and J-Rich. Granted Raja's defense has slipped, but he's still our best perimeter defender besides maybe Hill.

Again, I think this trade will improve us. By how much? We'll see. We got value for Raja before he slipped another notch, and we rid ourselves off Boris's contract without giving up a draft pick. And we got a second round pick back. FINALLY, we get a draft pick in a trade. Woot!

It's a good deal but it's hard for me to like it because I'll miss Raja. And I will always love Boris' skills and talents.

yeah I heard that on TV while watching. However they mentioned that he should and will get over it and should enjoy dishing to JRich. This might turn out ok IMO.
