    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With the league setting the 2004 salary cap at $43.87 million, the Suns may have trouble fitting their contract offers to point guard Steve Nash and shooting guard Quentin Richardson under the allowed ceiling. According to ESPN's Chad Ford, the team's $50 million offer to Richardson may have to be reduced to a little more than the full midlevel exception ($37 million).</div>

    With the salary cap going up, there's been a potential snag in the deals offered to Nash and Richardson. Although, Steve Nash is expected to sign, Quentin Richardson is doubtful. Depending on how the Kobe and Clippers situation end up, it's very likely that Richardson may be heading back to L.A.

    Yup, this is what happens when you throw out so much money to an old man, anyways the Q-Rich signing was stupid, didn't make much sense, now it's times to find some FA scrubs.

    Well QRich said he wants to be a Sun, maybe he'll take a smaller deal to come to Phx.
