		<description>Mike - thank you very much for the positive spin. 
 
When all Suns were healthy, it appeared we had a glut at the 2 spot. Besides LB and J-Rich, we also have Tucker, who can score and score some more,  and the 2 can be played by both J-Dud and Grant Hill. Have been saying all along that the Slovenian kid plays much more naturally off of the ball. Game vs. Cavs showed him taking a huge step back. Nash deserves the credit for &quot;D&quot; on Agent Zero - I was at the game - and J-Dud for his &quot;D&quot; on Manu (King of Flop.)  
 
Suns will be  a better team with a healthy LB starting at the 2 spot. J-Rich is way too inconsistent to start for our team. With that huge contract and the odd man out in the chemistry of the team, perhaps he can be trade bait. That could land us help where we need it most. Suns could even use Goran as a 6th or 7th man (at the 2 spot) and give LB time as back up for Nash. LB can play 40 minutes per game. Most important is to also give LB lots of time, particularly at the start and finish, to play along side Nash. They are  an awesome duo who play clutch at the end of the game and also set the tempo and tone . 
 
MUST start and ALSO finish with LB. Let&#039;s go SUNS!!!! </description>
