What is Leandro Barbosa worth in the draft?


What is Leandro Barbosa worth in this year's draft?

LB may have been picked 28th in 2003, but the former sixth man of the year shot 44% from the arc last year and has a relatively cheap contract. 

Rumors from AZCentral are that he and Diaw are up for grabs in order to secure a second round draft pick.


My problem with this is that you have developed rotation proven products that will be traded for a draft number and a pocket full of mumbles such is potential. 

No matter how rotation-ready the Suns think first-round players will be, or how ready DJ and Alando will be, it sounds like the Suns are moving in the rebuilding and cost-cutting direction. 

Hope sells tickets almost as much as big names do.  Looks to me like the Suns will trade winning for big names & hope.

So my question to you - what is LB, a known commodity, worth in the draft?

And who would be a taker?
