The Phoenix Suns made one of the stranger trades this offseason, sending out what amounted to a pair of first round picks in order to bring in 23-year-old center Mark Williams. Make no mistake - the Suns would trade Richards if they could find somebody who would take him - but reaching for Williams in the way that they did was puzzling. Adding another layer of intrigue to the arrival of Williams is the fact that he is eligible for an extension on his rookie deal. His side can rightly argue that he is now the starting center for the franchise moving forward, because Richards certainly isn't and Maluach isn't close to ready. If they can't shake Richards and the $5 million he is owed next season, what hope will they have with Williams?
