I,m a die hard Suns fan and i feel it was a good trade for Phoenix they gained Carter, Peitrus, and Gortat. The only player i will miss is Jason Richardson. How do you feel Sun/Magic fans??????

I think its a good trade for both teams. The suns acquired some much needed size, peitrus who is solid on both ends of the floor, and carter who is pretty much a wash for J-rich (I doubt he'll be back next season). Plus they get a 1st round pick and cash considerations.

The Magic got J-Rich who is younger and slightly better than Carter and Turk who has thrived in the Magic system. They got Arenas too. They should be better after this trade, but if it doesnt work out then they're stuck with 2 of the worst contracts in the league (Arenas and Turk).

For Orlando:
Richardson is younger and more athletic that Carter and shoots just as good, if not better. Turk played like a beast with Orlando last time he was there and he wasn't doing so good with the Suns so that is an upgrade.

For Phoenix:
Carter is a good scorer and should look better playing with Nash. Pietrus adds the athletic ability they lost giving up J-Rich, and Gortat can be their starting center and he is legit. Works out for both teams.

About the Arenas trade, I do not like it. I don't think Gilbert would be a good fit. Their point guard is already a shoot first point guard. All Gilbert would do is jack up shots at and inefficient rate that would be a determent to the team. Getting Arenas would set them back and he has been a head case lately also.

Arenas is nothing special anymore. All he did in Washington this year was shoot 39% scoring 17 a game with a little under 4 turnovers a game. That part of the trade doesn't help Orlando. But I do like the deal they did with the Suns. Having Nelson and Arenas is too redundant, they are both small scorers and Dwight would get even less touches playing with 2 guards like that.
