The Suns sure did have a lot of good PGs, but Nash (by far) sticks out in that position for all-decade. If we are going by the All-Star ballot standards, then I agree with Schwartz's picks. But I would go with this line-up for all-decade: PG-Nash, SG-J.Johnson, SF-Marion, PF-Stoudemire, C-Shaq. Now, I made this line-up according to player's achievement based on player's natural position. All of these players were all-stars as a Suns for these positions. But I agree that Raja was one of those most contributing players in this decade as a Suns, and one of my faves. WOW!!

I suppose JJ won out for superior talent, but when you talk about a "true Sun" I'm with you on Raja for all he did for a longer period of time during the elite years. Another honorable mention in my book, as strange as it sounds at this point, is Stephon Marbury. He didn't win anything, but he did put up some gaudy numbers for the Suns.

He was so important from 2005-06 until he was traded while Johnson played well really only that one season whereas Bell went through more playoff battles, hit clutch shots, and pissed off Kobe Bryant whenever possible. (Tim Thomas is on Dallas, too! - relating to the above comment) Although I loved Joe Johnson as a Sun and thought he played great in 04-05, can you really not have Raja Bell on this list.
