He's only contracted for one more year right? I think they have Tiinsley as back-up, they're probably waiting to sign a new FA PG in 2013, or else trade on of their bigs for one.
It also looks as if the Bucks offered Ilyasova 5 years 40 million, wouldn't you rather have him than George Hill if they had the same contract?
Spencer Hawes 2 year 13 million to return from Philly. Damn if I knew he was that cheap I would have been on that bandwagon.
Well, they would have matched that or even a slight increase in that so doubt he would have ever gotten away unless a team grossly overpaid.
WHAT YA'LL THINK OF THAT.
I HATE THE LAKERS
NO OTHER DETAILS YET!!!
Strong move by the Lakers, and I guess their pick and roll defense can't get any worse.
For what?
great teams always get the best players, nothing really new.
And?
this is all from one unreliable twitter post.. once again, i hate the media
someone put dwight requested that the lakers get nash so hell go there.. sounds stupid
Lakers using their trade exception from the Odom deal apparently
Multiple picks from the Lakers.
Gives the Suns some more assets for a Gordon S&T I guess.
we'll see
This move will please their idiot fans, but it doesn't make them that much better. They needed athleticism and shooters from wing spots and more inside depth. LOL thinking Nash will make them that much better.
What could Phoenix possibly want from the Lakers (why do they always get the best deals)? But if this means the Lakers get Dwight, I'm going to be really upset.
Phoenix Suns will sign-and-trade Steve Nash to the Lakers for 2013 & 2015 1st round draft picks and 2013 & 2014 2nd round draft picks.
Better than him going to the Knicks. Melo and Stoudemire on the same team wouldn't win a title in 50 years.
They had Blake and Sessions at the point this year. Nash is an upgrade from both. If there is any truth about Howard and Nash then it's an upgrade. I agree, i don't see it redefining the west, but i think it makes them better. Also a guy to pick and roll with Gasol with.
the phoenix radio host called it first
yall can make fun of me if i wrong but i still think this isnt true
Nash now with Kobe and Bynum.....that's disgusting.
The Suns could technically put together a pretty good Dwight package now imo..
Hopefully they will so EJ won't want to go there anymore.
In all seriousness though it would be retarded for us not to match. W/O him we go right back to being a middle of the road team. To be one of the top teams you have to have an elite player/scorer and that's exactly what Gordon is. Am I happy with his comments,absolutely not. But, I think he will suck it up and be happy here once he gets on the court and sees the future this team has...oh yeah and when he starts getting those fat paychecks.
As a franchise you have to start building at some point, you can't just always have young pieces,draft picks, and cap space. Dell,Monty,Loomis, and Tom Benson know that so I will be very suprised if we don't match.
I see us signing EJ. Then signing Mahinmi to play center. He should come cheap and could become valuable down the road with some development. Finally I think we sign Grant Hill to start at the 3. He and Monty are friends,he's be a great vet presence, and he could get the Tim Duncan treatment where he doesn't play in back to backs. That way Aminu continues to get minutes and develop as does Darius Miller.
Jack, Vasquez,Rivers
Gordon,Rivers,Henry
Hill,Aminu,Miller
Davis, Carl Landry(Maybe),Thomas
Mahinmi,Smith,Goose
Supposedly this may net the Lakers grant hill as well.
Good move by LA(like always) but I still dont think they are better than Thunder
Also, as mentioned. Lakers first rounders are invariably worthless.
