Would you trade Lebron for Nash?

[bail]

Right now,If you were the GM of either team, would you trade Lebron for Nash?:lol:

[hateraid]

I think with the :lol: you posted, you know the answer.

[space]

i guess everyone knows :)

[dejordan]

hell no. no for phoenix because it's got a shot to win a title with it's current lineup, and nash is the key. no for the cavs because bron is a 22 year old phenom who can carry any style of team and is going to get better, and nash is 10 years older with a suspect back condition.

[space]

cavs are not a running team anyways, so i think even if nash is traded, there won't be TOO much impact.

[and1]

cavs are not a running team anyways, so i think even if nash is traded, there won't be TOO much impact.
hm, do you think nash would have any non running team an impact ? i think he'd be good, but the suns style really favors nash greatly

[RedBlackAttack]

Right now,If you were the GM of either team, would you trade Lebron for Nash?:lol:
Maybe if the Cavs were run by someone with mental retardation. I am starting to wonder about Ferry, though.

[Kemosabe]

This would be a bad trade for both team at least right now.

[allball]

This would be a bad trade for both team at least right now.

are you kidding me? Phoenix would have Nash on a bus immediately.

[DreamRockets]

yeah, sure lebron is gonna run the best offense in the league as well as nash does :sleeping

The opportunity to get Lebron in his prime for an aging PG could not be passed up.

[knickscity]

Stupid thread. we all know the answer.

[KIWI]

The opportunity to get Lebron in his prime for an aging PG could not be passed up.

i agree only an idiot would give lebron up for nash!

[crisoner]

This is a damn good question.

But I default to the same old reason of Bron being younger.

So LeBron!

i don't know. not that you wouldn't rather have a 22 year old bron than a 32 year old nash, but the suns have a legit shot at a title right now, and if you replace nash with bron that's probably out the window. then you've got the expense of it. no way you can keep that team together and absorb bron's even larger contract. as long as you had bron and amare you'd be competitive forever, but you'd sacrifice chemistry and a serious title run right now for hope for the future. you'd probably have to do it because bron is a money machine, but i think cotton and the fellas would be biting their nails.

[DeuceWallaces]

Bad for both teams.

If Bron is as good as they say he is...he should be able to get the talented Suns team to the NBA finals just the same.

[ExpatSunsFan]

You have to tade LeBron for Nash if you can.

The reason? Contracts. Steve Nash is locked up for three more years of his prime after this year (at well below market value), while LeBron is only under contract for two more years, after which he will opt out and run to the biggest-market team that can afford him.



I hope you found this answer both useful and informative.

[johndough]

Like KIWI, GOBB and others said --Suns would accept that deal quickfast

[dejordan]

If Bron is as good as they say he is...he should be able to get the talented Suns team to the NBA finals just the same.
that's a big IF, and i don't know that any pg other than kidd could run these suns the way d'antoni wants them run. but you're right. it should require minimal roster maintance to rework the team around bron. trouble is the money. i think that would be three max deals plus you need to be able to keep raja, barbosa, and diaw without sacrificing the chance to upgrade your backup guards and center.

[MaxFly]

kidd wouldnt be as effective as nash on the suns, not even close, kidd cant shoot which is a BIG no-no in the suns game style, nash can't combine scoring and playmaking the way nash does, nash is shooting 50%/50%/90% this season which is something kidd wouldnt do in his dreams, defense ? i agree kidd is a WAY better defender, but in the suns style defense has no relevance.

true, kidd's not nash, and they would suffer for the change, but he at least has the instincts to run that offense. i don't think there's another pg in league (maybe paul) who can maintain that pace end to end all game long.

[STILLBALLIN]

Right now,If you were the GM of either team, would you trade Lebron for Nash?:lol:
Lebron is the 6' 8" man child and steve nash isn't bad, matter of fact he's damn good but......no way can he hold Lebrons' shoes. Put Nash on dem cavs and we suck even more than we do now! Put lebron on the suns and they are still a championship contender.

[joe]

i think if lebron was on the suns, they'd just be another un-organized offensive-minded team with no direction.

lebron can't make the passes Nash can on a consistent basis, no one in the league can at the moment..with lebron instead of Nash, it would just be a lot of random 3 point shooting, drives to the basket, one on one ISO's

with Nash, everyone in the Suns offense has a purpose. Nash is one of the only PG's in the league who, in a half-court set, is constantly given the ball to see what he can do. When i watch almost any other team, once the PG passes the ball in the half-court set, he may or may not see it again. Nash almost always gets the ball back, this is because he gets guys wide-open shots, time and time again. Lebron can't do that. I think with Lebron, the Suns offense would be more like the Wizards..high scoring and unorganized, not nearly as efficient as the Suns..not nearly as consistent, either.

if Nash were on the Cavs, he would turn into merely a very good sharpshooter who can make the good pass. With hughes and Z getting so many touches, Nash wouldnt be able to dominate the ball like he does in Phoenix. that doesnt work, either..

I dont think either team makes the trade. Even with Lebron being younger, the Suns arent going to abandon this plan that theyve been orchestrating for years. And with lebron, that plan would not see fruition. it would have to change.

[abuC]

I'd like to see the Suns with LeBron, provided he's the PG, and you just insert him into the current lineup. Let LeBron work from the top of the key, have the shooters on the wing and Amare in the paint, you'd never be able to send a double his way.

[Heretik32]

So if we agree that the Suns would give Nash for Lebron, but not vice versa, how can Nash be the MVP this year? Just wondering...

[joe]

So if we agree that the Suns would give Nash for Lebron, but not vice versa, how can Nash be the MVP this year? Just wondering...


bad logic..the suns/mavs wouldnt trade nash/dirk for eachother, but they are still equally deserving Mvp candidates

extenuating (spelling?) circumstances such as the system and role-players are what makes this a bad deal for cleveland..not that Nash is a lesser player than Lebron (which is arguable)

[abraxas]

So if we agree that the Suns would give Nash for Lebron, but not vice versa, how can Nash be the MVP this year? Just wondering...
What?? Who has agreed to this?? Who the hell are you talking to?? The Suns would give Nash for Lebron?? Just where would Lebron fit in this lineup? Among Marion, Stoudemire and Diaw? They don't need him...

Some of you honestly seem to believe the hype about Lebron James and have elevated him to Wilt Chamberlain levels without letting him actually fulfill his potential. Yes, he has a great start and will be a top player one day, but that day IS NOT today. Steve Nash is the best player in the NBA, and has been for YEARS now, stop joking around, please! I know Lebron looks really cool in his latest shoe commercial, but let's please keep track of reality here. The Suns had a 33 game win improvement in Nash's FIRST YEAR with them, and EVERY key player's numbers have gone up with him there. This is not a flashy, young, high scorer, like Lebron James, this is a TWO-TIME MVP, who is capable of transforming an entire team. Maybe Lebron can be that one day too, time will tell. But for now, he's just the best player on the Cavs, and one of the elite in the East. He is certainly NOT a two-time MVP leading the best team in the league to two 15+ winning streaks in one season!? Lebron's time is coming, but Nash's time is now.

[bokes15]

hm, do you think nash would have any non running team an impact ? i think he'd be good, but the suns style really favors nash greatly
I like Nash, terrific player.. but i've been saying.. Imagine him on a team like, let's say, the NJ nets. People have talked about that hypothetically and said that they'd be better, but i strongly disagree. First off, the team is nowhere near being as athletic and fast as the Suns, they don't have any really great shooters, and they depend on their defense more than their offense. So no, Nash wouldn't fit everywhere..

But J-Kidd on the other hand, he can play fast paced, slow paced, defensive, offensive, whatever is needed and wherever.

[AKADS]

No NO No. After this season I think Suns would. Amare and LeBron would be sick but Cavs laugh.

[geeWiz15]

hell no. no for phoenix because it's got a shot to win a title with it's current lineup, and nash is the key.
and with that, the Nash hype has officially gotten out of hand.

oh my freaking god.

[haterofhaters]

Lebron for Nash.... there's no possible way that the trade would make sense for either team.. that's all i need to say really.

Here's a question for you: if your team had the rights to Greg Oden right now, would they be willing to trade those rights for Tim Duncan?

Greg Oden = 2007 NBA MVP




Oh, and LOL at GeeWiz. I can imagine you watching Suns/Wizards last week...after every Nash bucket or assist, saying "LeBron would be doing this even better"... :)

this is unbelievable.


a guy with a gilbert arenas avatar talking about undeserved hype ?
excuse me who told you you could talk?


maybe you should enlighten us your majesty, why would the suns gett better with lehype instead of the mvp at the helm ?
because Lebron is much better player than Nash. that ain't enough? let me break it down:

if you take Nash out of the equation everything about the suns changes. you can no longer base your offense around one guy zipping around the court firing pinpoint passes to shooters and dunkers. you can no longer, really, have a fastpaced PG intensive team.

Mike Dantoni is not a moron. he's smarter than you. he knows that if you take Nash out of the equation and replace him with the REAL MVP, who is a high post player, that the offensive scheme of the Suns will change. they'll still run of course. but in the halfcourt their offense will be based on getting Bron the ball in the high post.

HISTORICALLY, teams that base their offenses 15 feet away from the basket are more successful than teams that base their offense in the hands of a point guard. because PGs have to work harder for their points and the teammates have to work harder to get open.

what the Suns would do is this:

PG Barbosa
SG Bell
SF Bron
PF Marion
C Stoudemire

this team would feature Bron in a distributive role. Barbosa has handles so he can bring the ball up but it's immediately given to Bron, who is nearly as good at scoring as Nash and will look to hit one of the three point shooters or get the ball in scoring position to Marion and Stoudemire, just like Nash does. only it will be in a more controlled halfcourt setting and you'd have the added benefit of Bron's unstoppable scoring ability.

now that we've proven that the Suns would be a better team, ESPECIALLY as far as the playoffs are concerned, with Bron over Nash, let's explore the other reason Suns rape this trade:

Steve Nash is old. he doesn't have a ton of time left. once Nash gets old the Suns are finished especially since they passed up Marcus Willliams in the draft. Bron is what 22? the Suns don't lose any passing ability, they gain top 3 scoring ability and a high post option who puts more individual pressure on the defense, and he's 8 or so years younger.

oh yeah. and want Bron to take on a pure scorer's role? put in Diaw.

Barbosa
Bron
Diaw
Marion
Stoudemire

whose stopping that team? more importantly, whose stopping that team in the PLAYOFFS?

[DreamRockets]

if the suns dont run the suns cant play, simple as that, they have a bunch of 3pt shooters who dont know how to play half court, amare can dunk courtesy of pick and roll dunks off passes by nash and thats it, there are many players who are better than nash, none of them can lead the suns the way nash does, you are still all puss.y hurt because of the mauling nash put on your pathetic wizards the other day ? ha.

[RedBlackAttack]

**** I wouldn't even trade Bron for Oscar, ESPECIALLY if Oscar was 30 years old.

How can a team with Bron and Stoudemire be cohesive?? It just wouldn't work. And Lebron being unstoppable beast in the paint wouldn't work either. You're not taking into account that Lebron is most unstoppable when he's in the lane, and so is Amare... So either Lebron would have to change his game to a perimeter game or else Amare would no longer be a factor..

LeBron would draw defenders to him when he drove to the basket (if he didn't, it is an easy layup). Amare would be there to clean it up if it was a miss or Bron could just toss it up to him for an easy dunk. As a matter of fact, I think Bron and Amare could work very well off of each other.

You're not taking into account that Lebron is most unstoppable when he's in the lane, and so is Amare...
and youre not taking into account that both players are automatic from 18 feet and that Bron can do more than just dunk.

technically EVERY player is most unstoppable when they're in the paint so..

playing around with connotations doesn't change the fact that the original statement is invalid. to say that Bron, a player of infinite offensive ability, and Amare, the best finishing secondary player in basketball, wouldn't get along, is ridiculous.

[haterofhaters]

I'm not saying they wouldn't get along. I'm sure they'd have a ball (no pun intended). But the fact of the matter is, Amare is happy unless he gets touches... and lots of them. Lebron would definitely have the ability to completely change his game and become primarily a passer, but would he really want to?

[TheHonestTruth]

Absolutely yes. If I have Jordan, Bird and Magic in my team, I'll trade all of them for Steve Nash, straight up.

[geeWiz15]

But the fact of the matter is, Amare is happy unless he gets touches... and lots of them. Lebron would definitely have the ability to completely change his game and become primarily a passer, but would he really want to?
Steve Nash dominate the ball like no other player in the game. balls in his hands 24/7 unless somebody is dunking or shooting a 3. touches isn't what Amare wants. what Amare wants is shots. Bron being primarily a passer wouldn't be that big a change from what he is now. it seems when you watch the Cavs that he's being forced to be exclusively a scorer these days. his problem is that he doesn't have anyone to pass to. no shooters, no finisheres on his team so he's got to do everything himself. I think having guys like Amare on his team would be seen as a blessing not an inconvenience.

[lakers-city]

since when can lebron even carry jordan, magic or larry's jocks ?

I think having guys like Amare on his team would be seen as a blessing not an inconvenience.

ok. point taken

However, my main point is that ALL of the Suns player are scorers and need touches.. So therefore, Lebron would have to down his own scoring to around what Nash averages, 20 a game... And the thing about Nash's 20, is that he's so damn accurate. He doesn't need a lot of shots, but he makes more than 50%..

Sure Lebron COULD make the team better. Most definitely.. And if he wouldn't mind dropping 10 points off his average or so, then yes. perfect fit.

But if we're talking about what Lebron needs, it's a good 2nd option, not a 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.. he likes to pass but lets remember he's NOT a point guard.

[TheHonestTruth]

Absolutely yes. If I have Jordan, Bird and Magic in my team, I'll trade all of them for Steve Nash, straight up.

And I'll throw in LeBron and KG for free as well.

It is the equivalent of asking if you'll trade Anthony Davis for LeBron right now.

Difference is Steve Nash had no titles and was an elite player for less than 3 years at the time. LeBron has double the MVPs and championships of Nash. And yea, I would take the next 5 years of LeBron over the next 5 years of AD.

[FKAri]

Except LeBron led his team to the Finals the year this thread was made.

In the East...so it doesn't matter. So did Kidd, AI and other people whod never be able to do it in the West.

[wally_world]

There was every right to believe Nash would have accomplished as much as LeBron has (in terms of winning) back in the days. Its easy to say that now, but imagine if things took a turn in another direction. There have been tons of NBA players who were exciting, athletic and seemingly had the whole package that just couldn't get it done. What if LeBron panned out to be Vince Carter? What if the Suns did win a chip or two with Phoenix?

I'm not saying there is no way the Suns would consider trading Nash for Bron at that time, but there's a good reason why they wouldn't.
