Lakers want Nash - S&T Using Trade Exception

[longtime lurker]

Using the TPE it is. If he signs for 8.5 million in the first year. But I don't see PHX doing us any favors.

Well really it's up to Nash right now isn't it? Phoenix sign and traded Amare to New York. Really it's not like you're getting prime Nash and Phoenix will be a contender any time soon. The only thing is that I wouldn't put it past Brian Colangelo to offer Nash a max contract and the CN Tower to get the deal done.

Steve Nash >>> Any current or recently pg employed by the Lakers.

This. Nash would easily be our best PG since Magic.

Yes, Lakers. Get older. That will beat the Thunder.

[G-Funk]

So did Steve Nash suddenly become a good defender?

Sometimes offense is the best defense.

Phoenix Suns were on the map, ONLY because of "aging" Steve Nash.
The guy would bring outside shooting and arguably the best facilitator in the game next to Rondo.

Sometimes offense is the best defense.

When your other options are Steve Blake and Ramon Sessions you'd take any warm body you can get at the point. Besides signing Nash might entice Howard to sign an extension with the Lakers.

God I hope this happens. We'll improve dramatically.

LA probably would have swept Oklahoma with Nash this past year, do you even know who Steve Nash is?

Maybe you guys forgot since he was stuck in Phoenix...

steve nash playing alongside kobe on the lakers has been my dream for so many years. Even though they are both old now and both don't play much defense, I still wish with everything I got that it happens.

Kobe is still a great defender.

Only on ISH does Steve Nash become garbage as soon as someone imagines him on the Lakers..

Yes, because Nash would've stopped Westbrook from ripping you apart and getting wherever he wanted to.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Some Laker fans really entertain me. They are absolutely terrified of not being contenders I love it.

[pauk]

Yes please! Want Kobe vs Lebron in the Finals

Steve Nash >>> Any current or recently pg employed by the Lakers.

True, but he's just as bad on defense as any recently employed Laker PG. I mean, he adds much needed perimeter shooting and penetration ability from the PG spot, but I don't think he'd be a good fit with L.A. The bigs don't like to run much. On top of that, he's going to get abused by guys like Westbrook, CP3, Parker, etc.

Nash isn't garbage. He just doesn't solve the Lakers' problems.
