Jammin Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Purely speculation right now, but some pretty accurate sources have been saying the Suns have been working at a trade to send JRich to the Wolves for Al Jefferson. I'm unsure about this. Jeff is just like Amare, bad knees, bad defense. But he's younger, can rebounder much better, and seems like he would be a good C to play in the Suns system. No link considering this is all just a rumor for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 So if this were to go down that would definately mean that the Suns are going to try the halfcourt offense game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moeroadkill Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 imo i think his a better fit at the pf i think suns should go to a more of a half court game, nash is getting old as with hill i think it would be more beneficial if they are trying to make a playoff push/run. but then again your players would be getting used to the offence so i guess you wouldn't want to change it up to much his defence shouldn't be that much of a worry if you guys are starting Lopez at the C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Sounds good if he is a PF. Suns really need a replacement for Amare, more than they need JRich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 First Childress to the Suns now this? So much for the Cavs getting anyone. Suns stealing who we want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I don't see how Richardson makes any bit of sense for the Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has he shown that makes people think he's slowing down? He had one of the best seasons of his life last year, arguably better then his 1st MVP season. Hill isn't slowing down either. Just because you're old doesn't mean you're not effective in games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I don't see how Richardson makes any bit of sense for the Wolves.Good long range shooter. *shrug* I'd keep Lopez at C and put Jefferson as the PF, unless I'm missing something.

Nitro Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Don't really get it from either side. All the moves the Suns have/are likely to make would keep the run-and-gun foundation going, which has been the only real successful style this team has played with the last decade. Jefferson is not Amare; he will not kill teams in the PnR as much and won't be beating other bigs down the floor every fastbreak. He needs legit post touches to be very effective, and by doing that you are hurting everyone's strengths on that roster. As for the Wolves...they can do better than JRich if they are going to give up Jefferson. At least get some young players, a TPE or draft picks back.
