This offseason:

1. I completely disagree with bringing Grant Hill back not because i don't like him but based on his age and the future of the team which i lot was getting younger so why have i heard nothing about keeping Matt Barnes who undoubtly produced last season and would provide youth and depth at small forward whether he starts (which he can)or comes of the bench along with Griffin he is a valueble piece that should not be overlooked and he does not command alot of money which goes along with the vision of saving $$$$, also just an option Matt can drop down and play at shooting gaurd which gives you a lengthy defender with speed at that position, probaly won't be the case though since small forward is his natural position so keep Matt he is a very solid player and a good fit for Phoenix more so than Dudley.2. I strongly AGREE Richardson should have never been sun in the first place trading him should be priorty right now he just doesn't fit with the suns and frankly they can do better at the shooting gaurd position and he is undersized at small forward. i propose to deal Richardson,pavlovic and/or Dudley/Tucker maybe even throw-in wallace to the hawks for the rights to Josh Childress,Jamal Crawford and Z.Pachulia solving Three issues at once in a starting center ,a starting small forward and a starting shooting guard.All three are young and solid players. Being free of Shaqs $21mill, Richardson $12.2mill and not keeping Wallace $14.5 and Pavlovic $4.5 entering this season and getting younger is going in the right direction moving forward and saving $20mill+ is good too even after signing Matt,J-Chill,J-Craw and Zaza i believe this will help keep and make Steve Nash happy(Ext.will get done) and the focus will just be on Stoudemire leaving or staying at the end of the season and possibly upgrading at the shooting gaurd position as well.
