Suns trade Leo Barbosa and Dwayne Jones to Toronto for Hedo Turkoglu.
Also, they get Josh Childress in a sign-and-trade from the Hawks.

Suns keeping themselves in contention even after losing Amare.
You're only going to get a few more 'good' years out of Nash. No need to waste any of them in rebuilding mode.

Turk is a good off the ball player, and a very good shooter.
So if you thought the suns were raining the 3 ball last year, wait til next year.

Childress is pretty much garbage. Chronic underachiever.

I think anyone who plays with nash will have their numbers upgrade considering they score 110 ppg as a team.

I just had to clarify b/c it's such a stupid thing to say. It's not like barbosa averaged 9 pts 1 reb and 1 ast a game last year while making almost 7 million dollars.....oh wait, he did do that.
Hedo had a really bad year last year but to say barbosa is better is retarded. You shouldn't comment on nba if you've never watched a game.
Childress will surprise people... he has really developed in Greece

Hedo turned shit because he was part of the Raps. Was great on the Magic and he'll be just fine for the Suns. Hedo for Barbosa imo is a good trade for the Raps and Suns coming from a Raps fan.

Hedo is only good at making Pizza Pizza commercials and calling in with a stomach virus on the day of the game, then being seen partying later that same night.
He's the definition of a POS, spoiled $50 million dollar athlete.

hedo will fit in well with phoenix, and hell probably play power forward where he will be a mismatch for anyone guarding him just because you have to respect his outside shot, phoenix won't fall off that much in the west next year, plus Robin Lopez has improved and before he got hurt was playing very well, Phoenix should be a top-4 team out West

turkoglu looked like shit last year because he wasn't in a system that actually fits him, maybe he will turn it around this year with the suns
