Roof That Peach

Say want you want about Bryan Colangelo’s track record the past three years. But by managing to trade the virtually untradeable Hedo Turkoglu for Phoenix’s Leandro Barbosa and likely Boris Diaw by way of Charlotte — two solid parts — it shows there’s a reason he’s still considered a top-drawer NBA GM. He’s done this before after all, trading Rafael Araujo in 2006 for two, living, breathing human beings, one of whom (Kris Humphries) was a valuable asset.

Barbosa’s reported arrival is a definite plus despite the fact he’s not a pure point guard, and it’s likely to spell the end of either Calderon or Jack. Likely Calderon. More to come.
