One big NBA trade, one big MLB trade, which team got the best part of these 2 deals?

Suns get Jason Richardson
Bobcats get Boris Diaw and Raja Bell

Mets get JJ Putz
Mariners get Aaron Heilman

Suns getting J-Rich, the clear winner to me. Diaw and bell on the way out. I know the cats are looking to be more solid and give them future hope. This isnt the way to go about it.

The Mets / Mariners trade. That isnt the same magnitude to me. Just my opinion.

Well, the M's did get gutierrez from Cle as well, that was the big part that they got back. They didn't just trade Putz for another P. They got back like 6 players.

I missed that part reading through it the first time it appears. Thanks for the addition.

The Mariners are fucking clueless. Trading their two best reliever and a decent OFer in Reed for an average reliever, 2 proven below average utility guys, and 3 middle of the road prospects.

We got ripped off in a trade, AGAIN.

Suns are garbage...

People should know about a situation before they comment on it.

Putz is becoming fragile and an injury risk.

Franklin G. is becoming a great prospect.

Jeremy Reed has had NUMEROUS opportunities to be a MLB player and he just doesnt have what it takes at the big league level.

The M's minor league system is depleted. They needed more prospects. Look for them to make a move in the free agent market too. This team has huge upside.

IMO, the Suns are idiots for giving away Diaw and Bell, 2 team players and bringing in richardson, a guy who just wants to shoot and play 1 on 1.

The m's got like 7 players in that deal and traded a closer who has already seen his great day.. i think the mariners got a better deal, Sean green is inconsistent as all hell, he has potential but has blown to many games... Jeremy reed... hits for like a .200 AVG, could be a good pinch runner i guess..

Mariners need to sign Dunn and get another 116 win season.. haha

they need to get griffey as well
