Suns/Magic trade

Reportedly, the Suns have agreed to a 6 player trade with the Orlando Magic to bring Vince Carter to the Suns.  Coming to the Suns are Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus & a 2011 first round draft pick, going to the Magic are Hedu Turkoglu, Jason Richardson & Earl Clark.  At first glance, I like it, Turkoglu was never a good fit in Alvin Adam's offense, Richardson for Carter is basically a wash, Gortat gives them another big that they really need with Robin Lopez's history of injury, Pietrus is a solid veteran, Earl Clark never fit in and just may benefit from a fresh start someplace else, plus getting a number 1 draft pick is an added bonus.  The Suns were 12-13 so far this year, their roster is really flawed (from Robert Sarver playing GM), changes really needed to take place.  It wouldn't surprise me if they aren't done yet either, they seem a bit heavy at the wing positions, they could really use a true PF (Anthony Randolph?).  Anyways, as of now, the Suns depth chart will look like this:  PG-Steve Nash & Goran Dragic; OG-Vince Carter & Josh Childress; SF-Grant Hill, Jared Dudley & Mickael Pietrus; PF-Hakim Warrick & Gani Lawal; C-Robin Lopez, Marcin Gortat & Channing Frye (others=Earl Barron & Garret Siler).
