Nash appealed to Suns management to send him to lone suitor of four finalists that could keep him in title hunt & within hour flight of kids

Ok I'm confused..Something isn't lining up

Lol @ Suns for giving us Steve Nash for a bag of chips.



Guess they wanted to tank. HARD.

Robert Sarver is a fucking cunt why would you send him to LA for shitty draft picks


NBA is a joke of a league

Looks like Kobe had a hand in the trade. Can't really hate on Nash though.

Sources told ESPN.com that Nash, with the New York Knicks also pressing hard to complete a similar sign-and-trade deal, was swayed to join the Lakers after a determined push from Bryant and because the move keeps him in the title hunt and allows him to stay in close proximity to his three children in Phoenix.

"The truth is I'm a bit old school," Nash said in the June 25 interview. "For me, it would be hard to put on a Lakers jersey. That's just the way it is."

From Iman Shumpert to a couple of late round picks.

He's less then an hour away from his kids now. That was his big thing. Clearly not $$ and probably not even so much the ring if he was considering going to NYC.

Lakers came to the Suns and they were originally against it. As was Nash. But when Kobe contacts you personally, you usually listen. Probably convinced Nash that a) he's got a chance to win w a contender and b) he's still really close to his kids without having to move them all the way to NYC. Nash talked to PHX, they granted him his wish. Classy move by the organization IMO

I said this a long time ago on another thread and I will say it here.

Nash, along with Grant Hill, was just using the Knicks like they do every year. Nash never really wanted to go to NY and the front office keeps falling for it every time. I still think that Lin is not the answer for the PG position. They need one that can play D and possibly move Lin to the 2 Guard spot.

If his kids played that big of a role, Knicks & Raptors would've never been in the convo & the Knicks trade would've never even came down to the Knicks moving Shumpert or Raptors signing Fields

Charlotte Bobcats are preparing an offer sheet for restricted free agent Goran Dragic,.

BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY NEED ANOTHER GUARD
