Steve Nash traded to the Lakers

[Koolaid_Man]

Revisit this in the playoffs when 40 year old Steve Nash is trying to check Russell Westbrook..

and let's face it...How is Westbrook going to defend Nash...fact is he isn't..They will now be forced to play our bigs one on one no more double teaming or it's lights out Nash from the 3...or Kobe eating up Harding or Thabo in a 1 on 1 match...pick your poison :lol

[Koolaid_Man]

My guess is Grant Hill joins Nash in LA. Probably for the lower mid-level.


Bingo.... Hill will undergo the Kobe procedure and then it's on..Nash already being a loyal Laker :lol and @the Kobe Procedure

Sources told ESPN.com that Nash will try to convince longtime teammate Grant Hill, one of his closest friends in the game, to join him with the Lakers.


ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher reported over the weekend the Lakers were one of four teams (along with Toronto, New York and Phoenix) in the running for Hill after the 39-year-old's recent trip to Germany to undergo the same platelet-enrichment treatment on his knee that [Kobe] Bryant credited for his rejuvenated knee last season.
Hill may be 39 years old, but after undergoing the "Kobe procedure," he still has enough left in the tank to help the Lakers compete for another NBA (http://bleacherreport.com/nba) title.



Suddenly, the Lakers—who, just one week ago, seemed to be one of this offseason's ultimate failures after failing to get into the top 10 of this year's NBA draft—are right back in the running. Instead of going young, they're going the old-and-wise route, and after acquiring Nash, Hill will be the perfect complement.


In Hill, the Lakers aren't necessarily looking for someone to light up the scoreboard—they're looking for a playoff-experienced, veteran presence to give this team a boost off the bench without spending a ton of money.

dsf-

Regardless of all their past fuck ups/the stupidity of not trading Nash earlier, what would you have preferred the Suns do with Nash this off season? I understand they should have moved on a lot earlier and gotten more for him, but given where they are now, I don't see any better outcome regarding Nash.

[ambchang]

This would be a fantastic move if the Lakers can trade Kobe away for a good character guy like a younger Grant Hill.

As of now, I am not sure how Kobe and Nash can share the ball.

[TheMACHINE]

Lakers made the move to convince Howard?

no..Lakers made a move to upgrade thier PG position without trading any core pieces.

[Clipper Nation]

This would be a fantastic move if the Lakers can trade Kobe away for a good character guy like a younger Grant Hill.

Kobrick has a no trade clause and there's zero chance of that TOSB going to Phoenix tbh.... Plus the salaries couldn't possibly match, right?

[Killakobe81]

Somebody explain please...Why couldnt the Lakers have done this?

Goran Dragic contract: 4-year, $30M deal with potential to be $34M from annual $1M All-Star bonuses. 4th year is player option...

I agree and thought the same when I first heard this ... but:

1. We needed someone to agree. Rox would of needed to sign Goran and agreed to the picks. Who knows if rox would of agreed?

2. Lakers are in salary cap hell pending further deals. You pay 18 million (with cap hit) for Nash, you dont do that for Dragic. I know Goran is younger and in SOME ways may be the better player (at this point) but this is the best splash they could make within reason. Im just worried that if we do want to trade Bynum or Pau we may regret not having a few picks to dangle ...

[Sportcamper]

Thanks...I later saw a Yahoo article that explained the situation...Personally, I hope the Lakers don’t dangle draft picks or take on the Magic’s debt to make a Howard trade…

[Mel_13]

Thanks...I later saw a Yahoo article that explained the situation...Personally, I hope the Lakers don’t dangle draft picks or take on the Magic’s debt to make a Howard trade…

Not to worry. The next available first rounder that the Lakers can trade is their 2017 pick and their best tool to absorb future financial commitments from Orlando, the Odom trade exception, has been used to acquire Nash.

laker fans should be happy to have nash... but sad that mike brown is still their head coach.

KD not a happy camper:


"Seeing Steve Nash go to the Lakers, I really didn’t like that move,” Durant said with a slight smile. “Steve Nash is a great point guard, man. He gets everybody involved, a great shooter, takes a lot of pressure off Kobe, so I’m very upset that he went to the Lakers. I wish he had gone out East.

Disagree. We upgraded the weakest position. Massively. I mean, this dude lead the league in total assists last year with a shitty supporting cast. Gortat - of all players - shot like 56% playing with Nash. Bynum did it with Fish and Sessions. Now he'll be the recipient of Nash's dishes. Consistently. Nash may have 4 or 5 20+ assist games playing with the Lakers this year. Don't underestimate his signing. My only worry is the bench. By evidence of this deal, the Lakers are all in for the next 2-3 years IMO. Meaning they will upgrade the bench. Jamison or G Hill off the bench would be a nice start.

The Lakers have consistently benefited from the history and location of their franchise. No surprises over this one.

I can't see how this isn't a serious upgrade for the Fakers - Nash, who has the best vision in basketball, now has two big men and Kobe to hit in their spots. Their offence should be a juggernaut. :pctoss

Fakers will have a weak bench though.

As for Nash, I've always liked and respected the guy immensely... now I'm forced to appreciate Nash the human being while hating Nash the Faker, but I guess that's no different to how I thought about him as a Sun. Meh.

Agreed. Nash is definiately the kind of player that is always diplomatic, and says the "right thing" in every interview.... but god its sickening to hear all the "we"'s and "us"'s connected to the Lakers, and that uniform makes me want to jab my eyes out... .and this is before they sign any more of Nash's buddies..... arghhh.

Of course, i'm the one reading and watching the interviews, and reading Laker's boards of celebration and awesomeness. All of a sudden Nash is everything WE'VE been saying for years, and all of the flaws Lakers fans threw in our face for years are things that don't matter. The hypocrisy, while not surprising, is still overwhelming....

Fancy seeing you here Mori. ;)

[VBM]

Marlon Wayans pissed all over Lakers fans celebrating the Steve Nash pickup by declaring the former league MVP will be nothing more than an elderly cheerleader for the purple and gold.

Just a few hours after Nash -- aka 'Messiah 2.0' -- signed his deal with the Lakers, Wayans summed up the trade for the 38-year-old point guard by saying, "Steve Nash is a dead man. He's getting back massages at half court ... getting ice packs on."

But his ultimate diss was comparing Nash to "The Sixth Man" -- a god awful 90s movie Marlon made ... but NO ONE saw.

Sorry Marlon, it's impossible for Nash to be that bad.

[The Gemini Method]

While it doesn't have the same vitrol as Johnny Damon going from the Red Sox to the Yankees, I can see why Suns/Lakers fans would be initially apprehensive about having Nash on/join a bitter rival. However, it happens and for me I support whomever is on the floor for the Lakers and if though it took me a week before I was okay with Nash being on our team, it is something that I really never expected although I would always trade our starting PG and back-up PG on NBA 2K whatever for him :lol.

I'm drunk because of soccer, but this kind of makes up for all the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit


I do think it's a good trade for nothing. I mean, they just gave up picks for Nash...you take that and run.

Steve Nash and Ramon Sessions backing him up, that ain't a bad deal.


Can Nash command Kobe to stop shooting?


66 wins is too much. 58-62 would be okay. But the Lakers are intending to keep the Big 3 core now so...

:tu

[baseline bum]

For some reason, the first thought that popped into my head upon seeing that picture was "this is gonna fail miserably".

:lol

[Splits]

:lmao "Big 3 core"

Hows that working out for ya, VQ?

[Clipper Nation]

Marlon Wayans pissed all over Lakers fans celebrating the Steve Nash pickup by declaring the former league MVP will be nothing more than an elderly cheerleader for the purple and gold.

Just a few hours after Nash -- aka 'Messiah 2.0' -- signed his deal with the Lakers, Wayans summed up the trade for the 38-year-old point guard by saying, "Steve Nash is a dead man. He's getting back massages at half court ... getting ice packs on."

But his ultimate diss was comparing Nash to "The Sixth Man" -- a god awful 90s movie Marlon made ... but NO ONE saw.

Sorry Marlon, it's impossible for Nash to be that bad.
:lmao Marlon Wayans' takes > LkrFan's takes

[Venti Quattro]

:lol So wrong about the Steve Nash trade

Mea culpa.

:lol Might have been the biggest fail of the thread right there ^

Mighty jinx was mighty :hat

Well, damn. :rollin :lmao :lmao :rollin

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Where is mid? He always called Mitch "Cupcake". Within the last 4 years alone:

Pau for Kwame
LO to Dallas for a $9M TPE
$9M TPE for Nash

Nash is a TOSB, but he's a TOSB than can SHOOT and can PASS. The spacing for our still intact twin towers just got less congested. I dare teams to leave Nash open. :lol

N:lolA = F:lolCKED! :lol

:rollin:lmao:rollin

You went full Bynumite in this thread, ese.

Never go full Bynumite

[DPG21920]

This might be the best post of the thread. DPG, you called it and the Lakers did it and the team and organization is such a mess..he walked and accepted less money to play else where.

Thanks. It really is crazy (all trolling aside) to see the state of LA. I have never seen a franchise so mighty suffer a string of such embarrassing slaps to the proverbial face.

Things about to get nashty


So a guy that had 53/39/89 shooting splits last season, averaged 11 assists and nearly carried a horrible Suns team to the playoffs isn't going to have make a dramatic impact on a team that had Derek Fisher and Ramon Sessions as their PGs last year :lol

[Banzai]

How embarrassing

[Brazil]

I doubt the Lakers training staff could keep Nash healthy tbh

:tu

Quick question: Did you know that the last Laker 1st rounder that was worth a damn was Bynum in 2006? How'd that turn out? :lobt::lobt:



During The last decade or so, the two most successful franchises are the Lakers and your Spurs. You guys did it by drafting well. We did it through free agency. 9 rings between these two teams show we both know what we are doing.

So yeah, I'm happy that our GM knows how to put a team together.

Seemed like Nash's primary focus was staying close to his children.

So that second and third trade ends up being Lamar Odom to Dallas for the right to trade 4 picks to Phoenix, one of them in the lottery. And also $3 million of Fredo's beer money to Phoenix.
