Credible source says Jason Richardson to Suns
Bright Side Of The Sun —
... replacing him with a shooting guard that needs the ball doesn't make much sense. JRich can ball but I don't see him as a good fit on the Suns right now.
If we are going to make a move we need a backup PG and/or a backup Center. Our two deepest positions are the shooting guard / small forward. Why would we want more of those?
So I vote no unless there's more to this.

Looks like my vote counts for crap. Seems official:

Rumor Central: Jason Richardson heading to Phoenix?
The Other World Wide Leader in Sports —
... Raja Bell, Boris Diaw and Sean Singletary for Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley of the Charlotte Bobcats.
If it does go down Phoenix could run again (Yay!) and give them player capable of creating off the dribble that they lack. For Charlotte, Diaw could conceivably help out Okafor down in the post but I doubt it happens and Bell would jockey for minutes with Adam Morrison. Stay tuned for more details
Edit: Trade confirmed, the AZCentral.com link.
I will have my analysis later tonight. ...

The Suns GM has traded Raja Bell, Boris Diaw and Sean Singletary for Jason Richardson, Jared Dudley and a second-round draft pick. My first reaction is, I don't have a problem with that, but wouldn't this trade have much 10 times more sense if Mike D'Antoni was still the Suns coach? Just something to think about. ...

Suns trade for Richardson, will be REALLY shorthanded tonight
Lakers Blog —
Jason_richardson_traded_to_phoeni_3 The remodeling of the Suns continues. Last year, it was Shaq, now, it's Jason Richardson . The explosive! two guard is heading to Phoenix along with Jared Dudley and a 2010 second rounder in exchange for Laker favorite Raja Bell, Boris Diaw , and rookie PG Sean Singletary . In the short term, it means the Suns will be playing with a skeleton crew tonight at Staples... and also totally messes with my planned pregame analysis. In the long run, it's another step in the process of ...

... After that is a classic Western Conference battle between the Lakers and Suns. The Suns are actually in the news right now as the have traded Boris Diaw and Raja Bell to the Bobcats for Jason Richardson. Kind of an interesting and maybe panic trade. Jason Richardson probably fits better with the old run and gun Suns than the new Suns. Nonetheless, the Suns will be shorthanded tonight so the Lakers will roll. ...

Game Thread: Bobcats/Bucks
Brew Hoop —
... New-look 'Cats. Charlotte has a fresh, new look since the last time Milwaukee saw them less than a month ago. The Bobcats traded away three-point/slam dunk specialist Jason Richardson in exchange for Boris Diaw and Raja Bell. Charlotte is 3-6 since the deal, but Boris Diaw has had some nice moments out of the Phoenix sun. In nine games with the Bobcats, the versatile Frenchman is averaging 15.0/8.1/4.9 and is hitting on 55.6 % of his long-range attempts. But he's also turning the ball over (3.9 TO) a ton and can't find his free-throw form (52.4 % from the line). ...

This year Boris Diaw and Raja Bell were shipped to Charlotte for Jason Richardson, further spoiling the run-and-gun style that had made Steve Nash and Amare Stoudamire so effective. ...
