The Phoenix Suns have completed a deal with the Charlotte Bobcats to acquire high-scoring swingman Jason Richardson, according to NBA front-office sources.
The multiplayer deal will require the Suns to part with forward Boris Diaw and defensive ace Raja Bell, two mainstays from the team that averaged 58 wins over the last four seasons under former Suns coach Mike D'Antoni.
The Suns will also receive a future second-round pick from the Bobcats and forward Jared Dudley while sending Sean Singletary to the Bobcats.
This is an awesome deal for the Suns and for the Bobcats. The Suns needed another scorer and J-Rich will take that place, while Jarod Dudley will do all the dirty work. As for the Bobcats they get two good players in defensive specialist Raja Bell and wildcard Boris Diaw. This will help the Suns a lot more than the Bobcats I believe because Richardson can take the Joe Johnson role on this Suns team, but Bell's defensive presence will be missed.
