Bring back Barbosa!

I just saw that Leandro is a FA this year . . . and it made me think of how much sense trading for him immediately makes.

He's accustomed to the system, is an offensive threat, can hit the three . . . isn't this exactly what we need? Plus, he is a FA at the end of the year, so he won't mess up our cap space, or could be resigned at a low level (to be back with his buddy Steve).

Plus, I don't know that his stock is that high. Couldn't we get him for Lopez and HAK? Maybe even Lopez and Childress?

Gaahh I'm way to excited about this. I guess that's what rosterbation does to you.

He'd be a nice punch off the bench

I don’t know how we’d make contracts match other than a Hak/Lopez deal, and I wouldn’t give up Lopez for LB, since Lopez is much more important to our future, IMO.

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."

Thrown in Brown to give them more prototypical SG size and a 44-inch vertical.

Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!

You had me at Smush.

Nevermind then.

I like Barbosa...

If we could get him back in exchange for Hak and/or Chilly/Telfair …then sure! He can nail threes, and we need that. Also, he’s just so happy all the time.

Never lowercase the SUNS in Phoenix SUNS!
