    You're confusing JRich with GSW JRich. Moving to Phoenix should revitalize him, but he's no longer the leaper he once was.

3 NBA owners, 2 trades, 1 bank shot, and a partridge in a pear tree
SLC Dunk — ... 2. Most of you have probably heard by now but the Suns and Bobcats made a deal.  My initial thoughts are that the Suns made a saavy move.  I don't know if it will change their overall outcome on the season, but  I believe Richardson is the best player in this deal and that Dudley is the 3rd best player in the deal and will fit in with the Sun's frontcourt better than Diaw has.  Not to mention that Richardson is 5 years younger and much better than Raja Bell right now.  Richardson is shooting 46% from the 3 point line this season.  Of ...

A changing of the guards
Fanster.com — ... I was taking a quick run on the treadmill when I saw highlights of Raja Bell flash on the screen in front of me. That’s odd, I thought, why the hell would the local news be showing clips of Bell four hours before the Suns played the Lakers? Well, of course now I know that’s the last time I’ll see Bell in a Suns uniform as he was shipped off to Charlotte with Boris Diaw and Sean Singletary for guard Jason Richardson, forward Jared Dudley and a 2010 second-round pick. Advantage, Phoenix. Although I generally oppose ...

Jason Richardson Traded To Suns: The Phoenix Suns and Charlotte Bobcats pulled off a trade today that came out of nowhere with the Suns sending Boris Diaw, Raja Bell, & Sean Singletary to the Bobcats for Jason Richardson, Jared Dudley, & a future 2nd round pick. Now the first thing I have to say about this trade is what the hell are the Bobcats doing? They traded away Jason Richardson who is a solid player for Diaw and Bell who have zero upside and a 2nd round pick, who is going to be buried on the bench by Larry Brown. To top it off, they ...

Day 44 of 170: The Iceman Cometh
Give Me The Rock — ... Trade of the Night: The Suns – looking to shake up a team that is currently 13-10 – acquired Jason Richardson from the Bobcats for Raja Bell, Boris Diaw and Sean Singletary. Richardson will slide Bell’s spot in the lineup and should fit in well with the Suns – everyone is already loving the fact that he’ll get to team up with Nash and Shaq and presumably see a lot more open looks. Diaw is also a winner (I use that term loosely) in this trade, as he’ll slide into the Bobcats starting lineup in place of the departing ...

Charlotte trades Jason Richardson, Jared Dudley and a 2010 2nd rounder to Phoenix for Boris Diaw, Raja Bell and Sean Singletary - Now, normally I’m against deals that add long-term contracts to teams that aren’t going anywhere. Luckily for the Suns, they gave away an even more egregious contract than they got back (Diaw), so it doesn’t matter that Richardson is a bit overpaid. For a team that desperately needed a shot in the arm, this is a godsend. Richardson may not be Mr. Versatile, but the man can put the ball in the basket. He’s an absolutely ...
