Answer 1

i think the trade is great. though it looks kinda lopsided at first when you think about it the suns and spurs improve alot with the trades.

first for the sun they get a great defender in bruce bowen which they SO DESPERATELY need cuz their defense just sucks. and he can shoot threes. and they get another good shooter and bench player.

for the spurs they release an older player to get a younger one. they have been looking to add youth and they do plus talent. barbosa is a great shooter and could be a pg/sg. he could start in sg and have ginobli at sf since hes good at defense him too. then sa have a younger player and the loss of bowen doesnt really affect a team with duncan, parker, and ginobli.

but i dont see bowen starting for the suns but barbosa didnt either so its a good trade. at least this trade will help them more than the shaq trade did.

Answer 2

well the only problem is that bruce bowen wouldn't play for the suns unless they give him like a 75-100 million dollar contract then maybe it would be a good trade.

Answer 3

Great trade for the Suns- but no way San Antonio does that deal. Barbosa would not start for the Spurs- and Bowen's defense is crucial to what they do- they are a defense first team- and Udoka looked good last year- they might try to trade Udoka for Barbosa- but not along with Bowen- too much for them to give up to get Barbosa.  i think the Suns are overestimating Barbosa and Diaw's value- as they try to deal both of those guys- or at least shop them around.

Im a suns fan and i HATE IT

Bowen is a f*g!!!

Answer 5

very stupid trade. It sucks really bad for the suns. They loose way tooo much offence for a role player and a old player.

Answer 6

The Spurs would never trade offense for proven defense. Besides, the Spurs drafted Barbosa back in 2003 and immediately traded his rights to the Suns. Hey, how'd that work out for the Suns?
