of course joe johnson woulda been more desirable...but the suns traded Qrich PRECISELY because they wanted to clear space to give JJ a big contract and keep him.
qrich is NOT a great player. hes not great at posting up, hes not the greatest (most accurate) 3 point shooter, hes not the greatest rebounder. he can do a little bit of everything, but nothing great. its like tim thomas, he can post up too, he can rebound, and he can shoot...that doesnt make him a great player.
i dont think qrich was the greatest acquisition but it wasnt the worst. he will be a decent 2 guard and will knock down some important shots after marbury drives and dishes. overall the deal was good, since we also got nate the great. kurt was getting older, hes not really a true center so i dunno exactly what phoenix is thinking on that one, and his numbers can easily be replaced by sweetney if hes given the same kinda playing time.
predictions for qrich: 15-17 points, 6 rebs...not bad...but not great
