That is all you need to know about the Bobcats trading away recent marketing fave J-Rich to a similarly dysfunctional if more talented Phoenix team.
Larry Brown gets Raja Bell back, the defensive stopper he craved and a legit if smallish 4 in Boris Diaw, which removes the need to depend on Sean May to produce. This should also mean more minutes for Matt Carroll/Adam Morrison on the wing, who are getting paid waaay too much to do nothing.
The question is, are the Bobjohnsons done? I don’t think so. Brown is notoriously fickle about players and probably has flipped the bit on the entire roster with the exception of DJ and Meka. Still, the question remains, how does this team possibly get into playoff contention?
Update: Some fans are lighting up Scoop Bonnell for missing this story while he tries to knock down a report from David Aldridge that Gerald Wallace will soon be gone as well.
