Giving up Barbosa hurts a LOT, but the following lineup is interesting:
Nash
Bell
Hill
Marion
Amare
Bench:
PG:Dickau/Knight/Strawberry
SF: Maggette/Tucker
PF: Thomas(The Suns played him at the 4 sometimes in 05-06)
C: Skinner/Marks
That potentially makes the Suns 9 deep....Maggette would be excellent as a scorer off the bench, TT did well here...I kinda like this.

My goodness, you must think highly of Magettee's ability to score efficiently and get to the FT line better than any Sun to give up a package involving a contract dump of Diaw and Barbossa. I think its a very sound idea, both financially and on-court for the Suns to entertain this.
Fixed.

Fixed.
Fixed again .
In reality, I think the Suns would hesitate the most on this move simply because of the fact that Barbosa has been amazing for them and they may still hold out hope on Diaw regaining form....he's been aggressive lately(which has resulted in him taking crap shots and missing them, but oh well).
How are Maggette and Thomas doing this year? I haven't watched them...

Nice job shooting from the hip, but you're dead wrong. Maggette has taken 224 FT attempts in 25 games, good for 9 per contest. Stoudemire has 203 attempts from the charity stripe to his credit this year, in 28 games. That's just over 7 per game. Corey also sinks 81% of his FTs, to STAT's 75%. Soooooooo.... yeah, you're dead wrong.
Thomas has been hitting his 3's, and Maggette is having as good a year as Barbosa. Plus you dump Banks' contract for the cheap and more efficient Knight AND Dickau?! That's why I say the ATL 1st is necessary for LAC to entertain this offer.

and incredibly expensive.
livingston/barbosa/thornton/brand/kaman is one heck of a lineup though. liv can guard sg's so he's a nice fit with barbosa.
