Why are people so down on the Richardson to Charlotte trade?

I don't think anyone is calling him a franchise player.a solide 2 guard who is only 26 years old and hitting his prime productive years as well as someone who improves their talent at the posistion and can help this very young team... yup, I'd say he's that.I hardly think he's worn out. There were a lot of injured players last year for some reason.he's plenty young enough to bounce back.p.s. Baron Davis is WAY more fragile than J-Rich

 

I don't like it for the Warriors because, while it helps in the long term, it pretty much insures missing the playoffs next season unless another deal is made.

 

it's not as great for the warriors, because Davis isn't gonna be the same player but the time he gets to his best. It's not bad for the warriors, but they do need another player for them

 

I think it was a really good trade for the Bobcats. They didn't need to get any younger because they were already young enough, so they traded their draft pick for a veterian wing player. I can't see what wrong with that deal...

If B-Diddy can stay healthy for 65+ games, they can make a push for the playoffs.This is how I see the West playoff seeding:1. Spurs2. Mavs3. Suns4. Jazz5. Rockets6. Nuggets7. Warriors8. Hornets

 

The Warriors are still a good team after this. With Monta Ellis breaking out they are more then suitable at SG, especially when you add guys like Pietrus and Steven Jackson, they are still strong at that SG-SF spot. Add to it that Harrington now has more room in the offense, and more experience in that offense and they are a very young team and I expect them to be back in the playoffs unless major injuries happen to Baron Davis.

I think if he stays healthy he could have a breakout year!!!!
