I agree. Delk appeared to be one of the bright points of an otherwise
disappointing season. He showed his worth in Johnson's first game as coach,
more than filling Stephon's shoes. The Suns are getting a good young player
in Joe Johnson, a #1 pick, and a couple other benchwarmers. Joe can make up
for the loss of Rogers. But there is no way that the pick and those two guys
can replace Tony Delk, a guy who once put up 50 against the Kings.
