Please don't trade Barbosa

by ArizonaCactus on Feb 5, 2009 5:43 PM MST

I hear a lot of chatter here on trading Barbosa. Partly because he is an intriguing prospect for other teams, partly because his contract is reasonable, and partly because he sucks against the Spurs.

however, he is also coachable and interested in improving as a basketball player. he plays hard consistently and although has bad games, rarely does he continue to suck for long

so i hope that we don't trade barbosa. i enjoy his energy, competetiveness, hustle, and his personality.

barbosa stays

Totally agree

but with JRich he’s expendable. Said to say, but true. He’s really not being utilized her in Phx and we have other more pressing needs.

I would be sad to see him go too, but if we can fill holes at back up PG and/or another legit big….I’ve been saying that since the end of last season btw

Why not

Have more JRich at the 3 and LB at the 2?

Especially next year when Barnes and Hill are gone

Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."

Although he

has been inconsistent at times (and nonexistent against the Spurs), I love to watch Barbosa play. He is my second favorite player to watch besides Nash.
