Well, now that the dust has settled and we've all sat around and memorized the new-look Magic, Wizards and Suns rosters, it's time to see who will benefit most from a fantasy perspective in the "blockbuster" three-team trade. The biggest name in the deal is, of course, Gilbert Arenas who was sent to the Orlando Magic. Arenas is saying all the right things, claiming that he's willing to come off the bench for the Magic. I expect that he'll continue to keep his value, maybe get a bit of a boost now that he has a legitimate superstar carrying the load, so I wouldn't sell on Arenas even knowing that he'll start off the bench. That said, I wouldn't buy either. He still is an injury risk and someone who might see his trade-value increase due to the excitement surrounding the trade. Hold him if you got him, but don't buy him just yet if you want him.
Jason Richardson might lose a little value now that he's on a more loaded offensive team. He's no longer the number one scoring option playing alongside Steve Nash.
He's a starting two-guard on a team with a high usage combo-guard coming off the bench, a superstar center, a point guard who at times looks for his own shots, a seemingly rejuvenated power forward who likes to play with the ball in his hands (more on him in a bit), and sharp-shooter off the bench who realistically could start on this team. I downgrade J-Rich slightly on this deal.
