Barbosa and the philosophy change...

If we keep him, which looks fairly likely at this point, how do you think he's going to respond to the regime change?

A lot was made of his nurturing relationship with Dan Dantoni over the season last year (I think he's been coddled too much, but that's up for debate i guess). What will be the effect of his mentor's departure?

It's always been love/hate for me with him, but i can't pick a side - should we be optimistic or pessimistic about him this year

Can we call the hawks and sign and trade for Childress with an Acie Law toss in? Or at least call them back about Joe...we may be needing him around Christmas time.

Still optimistic

He still shoots something like 39% on threes. That’s something.

He’s still fast and can finish a break … when they occur.

He can still dribble-penetrate … usually.

Perhaps his defense will finally improve.

Mmmmm ... Guinness

I agree with JSun

He, Nash, and Amare are basically the last remaining relics of true Run N’ Gun Suns bball. Let’s not completely give up on him yet.

He is turnover prone… but considering what he brings scoring wise as a 6th man, AND for around 6 mil a year, he’s a steal. There aren’t many better bargains in the league than that

now,.... Diaw though…..
