finally my team might actually have some good players... the NETs lol.
We got Joe Johnson which is nice, but now we need to get howard from orlando and williams to resign, then we'd have a pretty solid team to start off and possibly build off of... we'll see how it turns out of orlando actually takes our offer. |

And they very well still COULD pull it off, but it would be very similar to how that other team in NY did when they sold their whole bench for Carmelo and were no better for it. The new word on the street is that they're trying to send Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, Marshon Brooks and first-round picks in 2013, 2015 and 2017 for Howard. That would leave them with Howard, Iso Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, Deron Williams and guess I could come out of retirement and start at Power Forward for them. |

I think the Nets also signed some international guy for the MLE...so you'll be relegated to the bench. |

Deron Williams signed an extension with the Nets. Guess he'll be staying around for a while...

Should have went to Dallas. Cuban would have treated you like a king and that organization has a winning attitude.
Nets better go after d12. They are not contending with a slowing down since 2years ago Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace is a nice player but crash is injured a lot and more of a third guy like bosh than a second guy like westbrook. |

Lakers News: Team Acquires Point Guard Steve Nash | Lakers Nation
I say make an attempt to sign Sessions too, let him mentor under Nash and take the reins on the other side. Sessions will chase the money, though. |

nash to lakers was unexpected. all i heard over the last day was toronto offered a 3 year 36M contract, but he seemed destined to new york if they could get close to that offer and they apparently did with a 27-30M 3 year offer after losing fields.

EDIT: nvm, nash could have left for nothing, but nash agreed to a sign and trade so that the suns could at least get something for him leaving. still, it seems like pretty much nothing since 2 first round draft picks from the lakers is pretty much 2 first round picks in the 20s and 2 second round picks aren't even guaranteed. plus lakers give phoenix $3M in money.
also heard mavs turned their full attention to Nash after losing out on deron. i guess money doesn't matter to nash. he rather be closer to his children. mavs look like they are not getting anything done and breaking up their team unless they can land cp3 next year with all their capspace. |

I'm glad Nash chose to go to the Lakers. I'm not really a Lakers fan, just want to see Kobe get his 6th ring, and I think that can happen with Kobe's mentality and the combination of Nash and Bynum/Gasol. I guess it's all up to Mike Brown now.

So lemme get this straight...
Nash chose the Lakers (OFF ALL TEAMS) over the Knicks, but the Knicks keep Shumpert/Harrelson/some semblance of the young talent? |

Also, he wanted to be close to his children as well. If I were you I would be pissed that he didn't take the max contract from Toronto. |

i thought there might have been a possibility he would have wanted to play in his home country (canada) and took the toronto offer since it was $12M/year over 3 years. Knicks, Dallas, and especially Toronto have no shot at winning, I guess money doesn't matter to him. If the Lakers get Dwight Howard, now that would be something.

Ray Allen is meeting the Heat in a few hours man oh man I seriously see him signing with the Heat.
As far as Nash going to L.A, things just got real interesting in the West. OKC better watchout |

This is a disgrace Sad to see Nash go....to the fucking Lakers
Can't really blame him though... the Suns are a goddamn nightmare right now. It's going to be a rough couple years Last edited by az_240; 07-05-2012 at 02:36 AM.. |

But isnt what the Lakers need at the PG position is somebody who can play some D? I know his upside is on offense but what if he's more of a liability than anything else. Anyways, seems like he did the Suns a favor by giving them a bunch of draft picks to rebuild. Not high picks but they can probably bundle them to move up.

I mean, yeah obviously they'd want a great defensive stopper as well, BUT you can offset the defensive issues with a great pg that can score, stretch the defense, efficiently run the offense, set up Kobe/Bynum with easy buckets, etc...all of which Nash can do VERY well. As much as i hated seeing Fisher go, he wasn't a scoring threat and it made defense for the other teams WAY too easy. The same thing happens when Steve Blake is in the game. Case and point, the first 5 games when Sessions was a starter he helped the Lakers in much the same way Nash will, and the Lakers once again looked like a contender.....BUT we all know that wasn't sustained and the rest is history. Nash wont crash and burn like Sessions did. With Nash's skill set, the opposing teams will have to expend extra energy on defense to keep him and the rest of the Lakers offensive arsenal contained. With that comes less energy on offense and that'll serve the Lakers' defensive shortcomings nicely. at least in theory. Regardless, i'm happy with the move! |

"After talking with (owner) Robert (Sarver) and (president of basketball operations) Lon (Babby) we've agreed that it's time for both of us to move in new directions," Nash told ESPN.com. "I approached them and asked if they would be willing to do a sign-and-trade deal with L.A. because it is very important to me to stay near my children and family. "They were very apprehensive and didn't want to do it. Fortunately for me, they reconsidered. They saw that they were able to get assets for their team that will make them better, assets they would not have otherwise had and it made sense for them to do a deal that helps their team get better." The knicks are a horrible organization, LA is close to Arizona and is a title contender, and they gave him a decent 3 year deal worth over 25 mil. It was a no brainer. |

Not Nash's words but
"This is what I call a family values contract," Nash's agent Bill Duffy told USA TODAY Sports. "He was seriously considering retiring so he could remain close to his (three) children." Nash was talking about family being #1 in an interview a couple days ago... would rather see him retire. edit: god...please...no....> http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/81...l-phoenix-suns Last edited by az_240; 07-05-2012 at 06:04 AM.. |

Uggghhhhhh. Anyways, the lakers have better d than the Suns do and can compensate for Nash's d lacking. Plus with guys in the middle who can clog it up, as long as Nash does a decent job at keeping guys off the 3, they should be fine. The thing I hate is that the Suns got a whole bunch of picks that could wind up to be nothing. lakers are rarely ever in the lottery and if Nash does help them a ton, then we get late round picks...which means we get crap.... ugggggghhhhhhh I would have at least liked to have gotten someone from somewhere.
