Full Version: How about Barbosa?

I would like to hear from you guys how this trade will affect Barbosa's values...

Obviously, only stats u r probably concerned about are points and 3PM. Probably FG% also. I don't see how other stats are gonna be affected.

Do you think those will drop or increase with Shaq playing alongside?

At first i thought with more kickouts from post, he could get more open 3's. But then again he's already jacking up many 3's without low post presence. I'm thinking if they don't run as much, it'll hinder Barbosa's value b/c of less chances in open court

What do you think?

No I think this helps Diaw way more then Barbosa, but He should get some more PT since Shaq wont be playing very much in the regular season

Barbosa should be pretty much unaffected except in certain games he may get a boost. Hill could get forced to play a little SG if they go big in some games if Shaq is manning C, Amare at PF, Diaw at SF.

Ditto, except Diaw/Hill are gonna split time at the 3.

I figure for the most part but I could also see Hill sliding over to SG against some teams to complete the whole idea of going big. Hill proved tonight he can guard just about anybody in the NBA playing decent defense on CP3 tonight.

Yea I mean Diaw is basically the Suns 6th starter now/ will start when Shaq is out and play some more minutes. That also means the games Shaq is out that Barbosa will likely play more but still dont think his value rises much.

Sounds about right. Of all the Suns, I'd say that getting Shaq effects Leandro the least. He'll still do his thing.
