There are good and bad for both teams but it seriously looks like the Phoenix Suns just pulled a fast one on the Charlotte Bobcats. Teams are made up of starting 5 players and first 2 off the bench. With Barnes/Hill experiment this really eliminated the need for Diaw to get minutes in the 3. So he was limited to backing up Amare/Shaq which would ultimately underdevelope Lopez. This is a good move on Suns behalf if they utilize Lopez correctly.

Dudley has to be here because of Grants struggles. There are red flags everywhere on this, simply because Dudley is a formidable 3.

The Suns get
- more Athletic
- more range
- back into health
- better contract scenario
- better starting 5
- better matchup with taller 2s in the conference.

This is the type of move that gains a team an extra 3-5wins in a year. I felt the Suns were headed for a 43-46 win season and now this just creeps them closer to 50 wins. I hope to see the Suns run for the next two games if Shaq is gone.

oooh yea they play the Lakers tonite without Diaw bell Shaq ....um blow out coming!
