Nice job by Kerr getting this kid in the trade, but he won't get any credit for it

i think we've nearly all said at one time or another that getting Duds almost makes the trade palatable - much as Boris would have been handy last dspring when Amar'e went down, he never again played like he did the year Stat was out. Raja may have been shipped for fomenting revolution among the troops during Porter's reign but really, he was slipping as a player.
The only thing wrong with the trade is that JRich is too expensive and as a result, unmovable

Agree.. Getting Dudley will play devidance this upcoming season. I still remember that game which he brought us back with his shooting. I believe we were down like 20 points to the Jazz in Utah. Then Dudley came in and was on fire. I truly beleive that Dudley will become an intrugal part in the rebuilding with the Suns. I'm excited to see how much Dudley has improve, one thing for sure he's going to bring that hustle and defense to the Suns lineup. We have a good mixture in the bench with Barbosa, Dudley, Clark, Dragic and Amudson. Hopefully Lopez doesn't look lost like he has in the past.

Pay dividends?

All he has to do to play 20+mins consistently is hit the 3 ball, like 3-4 attempts per at 35%+ and then he'll get the mins...

That ain't all bad - just add one cold-blooded assassin to the mix and we're good. Preferably a centre.
Man, can you dig Wes Unseld or Cowens on this team?

Probably you or I can.... but for most here, you might as well be talking about Abe Lincoln. (who had a pretty good post game from what I understand)

Time for a nap.

I know - them old bones get pretty stiff after a long day, don' t they? I'm 53 in 10 days.

But, like Abe L used to say to me, F8*% it.
(Abe was, as you say, a decent post player but never had the ferocity. More of a Euro player, not a banger. US Grant - now, he went after a rebound)
