Suns guard Jason Richardson is winning in Phoenix, but his old team, the Warriors, are struggling.

"It's crazy what's going on over there," Richardson said in a telephone interview with the San Jose Mercury News. "They really went from being great to going back to the same ol' Warriors."

Richardson, who spent his first six NBA seasons in Golden State, was traded by the Warriors on draft day 2007.

He was a part of the 2007 playoff team that shocked the top-seeded Mavericks in the first round of the postseason.

"That's the crazy part," said Richardson. "We didn't get the chance. That team together, in two months (after acquiring Jackson and Al Harrington in January 2007), made history. It would've been scary had that team been together a whole year and had a training camp together.

"I kind of feel bad for the fans. They had a playoff experience. They had a good team. They had so much potential. Now, it's almost back to my first three or four years there."
