PHOENIX GETS:
Joe Johnson
Anthony Johnson
Lorzen Wright
ATLANTA GETS
Marcus Banks
Leandro Barbosa
Raja Bell
ATLANTA #1 in 2008
The Suns are very close, and I believe this deal helps them out a great deal. Wright gives them another body for playing down low, and they get Joe Johnson. Remember, Robert Sarver loves Joe Johnson and this deal would give them a scorer if Shawn Marion were to opt out after this season or if Marion left in two years. Atlanta gets their pick back, Barbosa to play the two and decent bench guys in Bell and Banks. I know Phoneix loses a little on the defensive end, but an offense of like that would be nightmares for the rest of the West. Also, the Suns are due to pay Banks-Barbosa-Bell 15.3mil next year, 16.3mil in 09-10. JJ is due 14.3 and 15 over those two years, so they could pursue another deal like they gave Grant Hill with those saving.

I'm not a believer in Barbosa as more than an great 6th man. ATL should stick with what they have. Phoenix should hope the ATL pick gets back in the lottery and get in on the OJ Mayo express.

The lockout affected them all a little differently, a couple of them went completely stark raving nuts.
