In my personal opinion, we should trade Barbosa and Goran for a backup pointguard that can actually play, or at least manage a game effectively. Barbosa doesn't seem to be a favorite of Gentry.

I respect your opinion... But by no means do i agree with it.

barbosa is a great backup for J-Rich, he's fast, can shoot the ball and pretty okay on defence... Plus he can explode on some nigths and give us 30 points..

Goran is still young, and can still improve.. I wouldnt write him off just yet..

Barbosa has been injured all season. How does that translate to him not being a favorite of Gentry??

Good grief. Barbosa has probably the highest trade value on the entire team. No way should he be traded for a backup, at any position, period.

Goran is terrible. Please don't drink the koolaid. its contaminated.

Let's take a look at Steve Nash's NBA rookie year with the Suns vs. that of Dragic. Goran didn't look any more "terrible" than Steve before being given the chance to develop his game.

Unfortunately the Suns let Steve go to the Mavs to do it. Do you really believe we should make the same mistake with Dragic?

It's not koolaid. It's sound basketball. It's why someone like D'Antoni is now with the last place Knicks and Gentry is leading the first place Suns.

In a van...down by the river.
OT:
I also like Dragic because his first name reminds me of the race of aliens in one of my favorite Star Trek episodes "Arena".

His blocked shot last night was the play of the game.

Also it doesn't really matter as long as some combo of Dragic and LB keep Nash's minutes at a reasonable number.
