Damn, LkrFan seems to be the one bendin over in this thread. And it ain't just Spurs fans dishin it out either. :lol

[Venti Quattro]

The Lakers are going to give up points as much as they're going to score. :lol

But I'm interested in where this move dictates the direction of the Lakers' offseason. Mitch might spring one more deal or two, and I hope it's to shore up the defense.

Um, the Lakers traded a 2013 and 2015 first round pick along with two second round picks in 2013/2014...



In return, the Suns get four draft picks -- first rounders in 2013 and 2015 and second rounders in 2013 and 2014.

Bad trade for the lakers they traded there 2013 and 2015 first-round picks and 2013 and 2014 second-round picks for a 38 year old point guard.They sure are desperate. :

oh no! darn the Lakers! now they got a PG who:

1) will get more touches than Kobe
2) is over the hill
3) doesn't play defense for a defense 1st coach
4) has no one to pick and roll with
5) isn't comfortable playing in a set offense in case Kobe/Bynum want to get a lot of touches



How exactly does this make them better? :lol

[LnGrrrR]

Good chance that the Lakers 2015 pick is lottery, tbh... is that pick protected?

[midnightpulp]

And we'll be sure to bump this thread when the Lakers get ousted in the 2nd round.

Nash is such a smart, crafty player, I expect him to be somewhat effective in the Lakers's system, which is about as far away from his comfort zone as you can get, but I don't see him providing much more of an impact than last year's savior. He's even worse than Sessions defensively and the fact he needs to dominate the ball to maximize his impact won't complement Kirby's game very well, if at all.

And then there's his back issues.

Great fucking pickup, Mitch :tu

Mortgage your future for a player who will retire in 2 years. Lakers need athleticism, shooters, and a fucking bench. Nash only provides one of those things.

[LkrFan]

So do the Lakers take Pau off the market now?

Yes.

Just saw the info on the picks...


After the eight-time All-Star appealed to Sarver and other Suns partners, the Suns had a change of heart Wednesday afternoon and negotiated to receive the worst of Miami's and the Lakers' 2013 first-round picks, a minimally protected 2015 Lakers first-round pick, Denver's 2013 second-round pick, the Lakers' 2014 second-round pick and the cash.

Anyone care to explain/figure out what "minimally protected" means int this case? Top 3 protected only? top 5?

[midnightpulp]

I ain't even Laker hating. This really isn't a good pickup for the Lakers. Simply a lateral move, at best. Nash has no horses to run with him on the break, they still don't solve their defensive liabilities at the PG spot, and it's been proven, time after time after time, that Steve Nash, even in his MVP prime, can be contained in the half-court, which the Lakers will be playing offense in 99.999999% of the time.

Go ahead and spin it in that retarded homer way of yours though, Lkrfan. Just know, you'll be wrong again, like you were wrong about everything last year (Ramon Sessions's Show, McRoberts and Murphy being adequate replacements for Lamar Odom, etc, etc).

:lol

ohh god... horrible analysis...man what happened to you..I used to love reading your well thought out takes but you've fallen off ever since the back door sweep. :lol

May I break it down for you:



First off according to Nash - Kobe was calling him constantly to come and run his (Kobe's offense) and Nash saw that Kobe was sincere and finally said yes.




Nash's ability to distribute and hit clutch shots outweigh any defensive liabilities. The fact that he's so good facilitating and scoring with his very high shooting % far outweighs his lack of Defense. Let's not kid ourselves Harding and Westbrook are not known for their defense either. In fact no guards are today. Nash will be able to easily get around those guys as he showed last year.



I value experience over youth. Look at what happened in the play-offs with a youthful Ramon Sessions you really think LA would have lost that series against OKC with Nash running the offense.



Kobe has never played with a player of Nash's ability before. He 'begged' Nash to play with him and that alone shows his willingness to let Nash run the show. Kobe finally doesn't have to facilitate



This is no hyperbole but in all seriousness Nash's presence alone will be awe inspiring for a lot of Laker players because they respect him. Even Dwight was lobbying the Magic to go after Nash - maybe now he'll change his mind.



This Nash trade now gives Dwight the cover he needs to go ahead and sign the ext with us

Ohh I almost forgot Tony Parker and the Spurs are in trouble :lol

Lateral move? I know you are retarded but this is beyond stupidity.

But it's totally expected from you. You cannot even be honest about your hating obsession. Shall we bring up all your "fuck Dan Gilbert" threads as Sessions was playing well down the stretch? Apparently you were wrong too. Your obsession really makes you waver in illogical ways. He wilted in the playoffs and that was always a possibility since it was an unknown. And he is now gone.

Nash plays terrible defense. That is a given. No worse than Fisher or Sessions though. Bad is just bad and all 3 are bad. What he does do that neither Fish nor Sessions did/do well is run the prick and roll and make quality entry passes to the bigs in the post. That in itself is a huge upgrade. He also is one of the best shooting guards in the history of the game. Surely a lateral move as Fish and Sessions were so well known for the shooting prowess. hahaha So no more leaving the PG alone to go double Pau, Bynum, or Kobe. WE could go on and on about spreading the floor, taking pressure off Kobe to create, setting up higher % looks for everyone in the purple & gold etc. but it's all lost on you. Lateral move? What a moronic comment and one that shows you just have no grip on reality when it comes to your Laker hate.

Now the intangibles. I love how you morons say the Lakers have mortgaged their future by trading away their picks. The Lakers haven’t had a first round pick since 2007 and have won 2 titles since. Brilliant. They are definitely going all in to win now but that in no way mortgages their future. It's the Lakers and I have been hearing this same rant for 40 years. Do any of you know if this is the end of the moves the Lakers are making? No. Who now are thinking, oh with Nash there distributing I am much more interested in going there? Lots of questions still to be answered.

One question that doesn’t though is if this is a lateral move. Any child with minimal basketball knowledge can answer that one.

Unless of course they are consumed, jealous, and obsessed by all the Laker tradition of WINNING!

People fail to acknowledge that Kobe had to be an MJ/Scottie clone for the Lakers to be successful. He's lead the Lakers in assists and scoring for years. Now with Nash onboard, he can go into attack mode and leave the playmaking primarily to Nash. Teams will pay for tripling him with the game on the line. Nash will get open look after open look. Nash's midrange game will also be deadly playing with the weapons LA has.

the 07' kobe who could drop 81pts in a game is long gone now. nash's impact is very limited in halfcourt offense and him playing no D will definitely hurt the team more than he helps the team at the offensive end, and he'll be playing in LA till he is 41 :lol

- Lakerfan, immediately following the Ramon Sessions' trade.

Worked out well, didn't it?

Lateral move.

PS: Retarded analysis like this (and from Lkrfan) is why I've avoided the board for the past week. Every time I read a Lakerfan speculating how Steve "38 years old, I have back problems, mediocre in the half-court" Nash is going to transform the Lakers from 2nd round fodder into a champion (like Ramon Sessions was supposed to), it almost makes me want to projectile vomit all over my computer screen.

Lateral fuckin' move. Deal with it.

[ElNono]

mid spot on with Nash's back problems... Wouldn't surprise me to see him having to borrow a wheelchair from time to time. Luckily, those seem to be available at Staples, tbh.

[racm]

Yeah, he doesn't have the magical Phoenix staff too.

I think I'd take even the SA training staff...

one step forward, two steps back imho. having someone like nash running the point will make scoring abit easier but on the other end of floor you're gonna concede more points, poor perimeter D will allow more direct drive-ins which will result in your bigs (especially Bynum) getting in foul troubles early on and their PT being limited, in return that will reduce your efficiency not only in defense, but at the offensive end as well

:lol thinking a 38yr old shaddy guard who plays zero defense will get you back in contention

If Parker had a 29 point 13 assist game against the Lakers last season with Ramon "average defender" Sessions and Steve "statue" Blake guarding him, I can't imagine how many drives he'll do.

That maybe true, but opposing PGs won't have night off (defensively) no more. And I could see Nash penetrating and getting opposing bigs in foul trouble just as well. Nash is pretty crafty.

I beg to differ...you have no real concept of how things work. If we we're to subscribe to your theory then Fisher and Sessions were all world defenders.

:lol get tha fuck outta here

Nash is about the same as Fisher and Sessions on the defensive but commands the attention of whole opposing team.In fact there's not a single lock down or even good PG defender in the League..You think CP3 plays defense..puhlease niggas take him straight to the box when they're on him...You think Westbrook plays defense? please Westbrook is too busy playing offense...he guards no one he only plays the passing lane...Westbrook and Nash are the same defensively and I dare you to show me otherwise...

Same for Tony Parker...where is his defense...The only decent defensive point in my opinion is Deron...and he doesn't play it all that much either..the point is we're no different than all the other teams with prolific point guards..Now were we have the advantage is Steve Nash is not only a great shooter but he also now makes Kobe a sympathetic figure in the eyes of the refs...just like MJ was...The refs really like Nash and he will get the calls against the Westbrooks and CP3's...the refs won't like to see these black guys beating up on Nash...that will also trickle down to Kobe...the refs will now start giving Kobe calls just based on Nash's reputation to make crisp on the dime passes alone...

It's not about defense...it's about Leadership...

[ambchang]

Of the 478 players who played in the NBA last year, Nash ranked 419 in defensive rating. Fisher ranked 322 and Sessions ranked 384

Of the 331 players who played 500 minutes or more, Nash ranked 305, Fisher ranked 223 and Sessions 280.

So while Fisher was below average and Sessions was bad, Nash was even worse.

Is it the be all and end all? of course not, especially when a rating has Carlos Boozer ranking number 6, but all in all, the list looks roughly right, and the Lakers defense at PG will be worse than prior years.

On offense, the potential is very high for the Lakers, not sure if it would come into fruition though. Both Nash and Kobe requires the ball to be effective on offense. If Nash becomes a spot up shooter, it takes away his main strength. If Kobe feeds off of Nash and let Nash runs the show, the Lakers could be potent because Kobe has always been best working as a sidekick, the question is is Kobe willing to do that?

Nash is better in feeding the post than any Lakers could, but then he has not really played with a traditional center like Bynum. Nash will work very very well with Gasol on offense though, their pick and roll could be deadly. But then again, will Kobe and Bynum be willing to give up the ball?

Nobody really knows what is going to happen, the potential is extremely high for the Lakers, but there is also a big potential of this crashing and burning. We'll see.

you have no fucking clue what you're saying you piece of shit. nash doesn't play D and it will cost not just in guarding the opposing PG, but that his absence at defensive end will downgrade the team's defense as a whole. although he might increase the team's total scoring with his play making skills, his team will always end up conceding more at the other end of floor

and you think the 38yr old fuckhead is now the leader of your team, seriously atif? :lol

Hey you chubby ass fat boy. stop the name calling.....:lol

Now...I'm not at all concerned about Nash's defense. Like I mentioned before there are no 1-on-1 lock-down defenders in the league... The man reacting is always going to be at a disadvantage... but that cuts both ways. It helps to be younger, faster, quicker, but at the end of the day what really matters is making small team adjustments that put opposing players at a disadvantage... Nash is a smart player and floor general of Tom Brady's and Peyton Manning's caliber..

The way the game is called now there's almost no chance of playing good point guards heads up...and same concept for Nash's opponents playing him on defense... Between liberties with the ball (palming, traveling, steps) and the the upcoming new league rules on flopping defense will drop league wide anyways...

Nash is more than a point guard. He is a fundamentally sound and unique player the likes of which LA has not seen since Magic... Kobe has never played with a player of Nashty's caliber, and whatever defensive deficits he has... he's a 2-time MVP who is more of a threat to both score and pass to the right person at the right time than the Lakers have had in decades. Opposing coaches will be a hell of a lot more concerned about how there going to stop Nash than how how they're going to exploit him on defense. Something that could have never have been said about Fish or Sessions..

In a Suns offense this is what Nash was able to accomplish against top tier guards...with legit bigs to pass off to and with Kobe on the wings..Nash scoring to assist ratio will climb even further..

You morons are acting like you're getting the '05 version of Steve Nash. He's 38. I'll say that again. He's fuckin' 38. He has back problems. He'll be away from his run and gun comfort zone for the first time ever in his career. He's a terrible defender. The only thing he'll bring that Sessions didn't is floor spacing, but he also lacks Sessions' ability to penetrate at this stage in his career, not to mention his youth. Prepare for a lot of nights of Steve Blake playing 15 to 20 minutes a game.

nash, really kool? dude is good even for 38 but don't act like he doesn't come with a ton of what-if's. the dude is old, slow, has back problems, and just isn't a player i'd get all crazy about in this point of his career.

he'll help out a bit considering the alternative's the past decade in regards to the 1 spot in LA, but don't act like you just landed rose in his sophmore, junior yr of his nba career.

[cobbler]

Midget is just jealous we got Nash and he got Toothless Jack and Pattycake

Midgets hatred clouds his judgement. His opinions waver from game to game depending on if its good for the Lakers or not. Just search out his "fuck Dan Gilbert" posts for proof. He is a weak person that admits he had to stay away for a week because he doesn't have the internal fortitude to just ignore internet posts. How pathetic! And why is that? Because he is jealous, angry, and incapable of ignoring anything Laker related. He is the poster child for the OBSESSED. And nothing humors me more on this forum. It's beautiful and why he resoponds to every one of my posts and why I point out his ignorance on a constant basis.

Nash was old last year too. Led the league in FG% for PG and was 1 assist per game shy of Rondo's league lead. No Laker PG has sniffed the top 25 in either of those catagories in the last 15 years. Funny how FG% only matters when dissing Kobe no? :lol

Ohhh and Fishers 3pt % is good for number 118 on the lifetime list. Nash comes in at numer 8. Perhaps in Midjets cloud thats a lateral move but is sure looks like quite a jump to those not so ignorant.

Carry on.

[LkrFan]

"If you look at the opportunity that we have with the players on this roster and the organization's commitment to winning, this is going to be a really exciting chapter of my career," Nash said. "I've always wanted to win, I've always competed the best I can to try to win.

"To be back in a position to win again is a phenomenal feeling, and I'm really proud to be a Laker today."

"I feel like most importantly I can help them a little bit with pick-and-rolls and facilitating, making decisions, making the game easier and taking some pressure off Kobe," Nash said. "I think he's had to take on so much that it will be nice for him to maybe get a few more easy baskets, to not have to expend so much energy and hopefully I can spread the floor a little bit with my shooting ability so that Andrew and Pau have a little more room to roam."

If he remains healthy, yep. He literally makes everybody better. Unlike my main man Sessions, he won't shit the bed in the playoffs. He made Gortat shoot like 56% - imagine what he'll do for Bynum and Pau (I don't think D12 is coming to LA). Kobe respects him and will defer when necessary.

We do need more athletes on the perimeter though. No use on getting Nash if he doesn't have the horses to run with. I suspect the roster, as currently constructed, is not the one we'll see in November.

Tbh, Gorat's career number is 55.5%. Definitely makes the Lakers better simply with his shooting alone but Lakers now desperately need athletes on the wing. Durant, Harden and Westbrook will still be a tough match up.

[phoenix219]

Tbh, Gortat barely got off the bench previously to Phoenix, so any stats from before, aren't really a big enough sample size, and since he got to Phoenix, he's never really played without Nash. This season is going to be a big indicator to his true potential.

Other than his rookie season, Gortat was shooting between 53.3 and 56.7% in Orlando. What he got with Nash was more shots though, but that is based on the pace of the game as well.

[LkrFan]

Fair unbiased take on what Nash will do for the Lakers:

kW86Uv7DaSw&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[LkrFan]

Chimpy Hollinger details why he calls Nash the greatest pure shooter in NBA history. I know non-Laker fans won't read it but I'll post anyway:




You'll often hear casual basketball fans lament the lack of shooting in today's game, especially from the free throw line. But actually, we have the opposite problem: The current NBA is littered with great shooters. In fact, several of the best shooters of all time are currently on NBA rosters, and most of them are more or less in their prime.

Without leaving the top half of the Western Conference standings, for instance, I can point out names like Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, Peja Stojakovic, Kevin Martin and Chauncey Billups, all of whom have put together multiple seasons that rank among the best shooting performances in history. That's to say nothing of the other great shooters in the league -- Ray Allen, Jason Kapono, free throw-record holder Jose Calderon, Ben Gordon, Kyle Korver … the list goes on and on.

But which one is the best of the best? Aye, there's the rub. We've never had a clear metric for ranking the game's best shooters … well, at least until today's ill-advised endeavor. That's right -- we're going to try ranking the best shooters in the game's history.

First, a caveat: By "history," we're limiting ourselves to the 3-point era. There were plenty of great shooters who played prior to that point, but we have no way to verify their cases statistically. In particular, it appears Calvin Murphy and Rick Barry -- two players from the 1970s who were renowned for their shooting range and rank among the top six free throw shooters of all time -- are slighted by today's methodology. Bill Sharman, Mike Newlin and Fred Brown also get my apologies.

OK, now for the method. My first step is to require players pass through a couple of fairly low "gates:" shooting 85 percent from the line with at least a 45 percent mark on 3s, or shooting 87.5 percent from the line with at least 42.5 percent made on 3s, or shooting 90 percent from the stripe with at least 40 percent made on 3s.

The point at this stage isn't to determine the best shooter of all time but to eliminate all the players we know darn well aren't the best shooter of all time. This does an efficient job, narrowing our list to 44 players.

From there, I set about creating a formula to rank the best shooters. I thought I'd have to dream up something very complex to adjust for all the variables involved, but it turned out a simple formula worked far better than any of my more exotic concoctions. I simply added a player's 2-point, 3-point and free throw percentages. We'll call this "Combined Shooting Rating," or CSR for short.

CSR works for a few reasons. First, the free throw is a pretty fair arbiter of shooting ability. It's the only true apples-to-apples measurement we have, because it's always 15 feet from the hoop and unguarded, regardless of what system the team runs or how the player is used. It's only one shot among many that need to be in a player's arsenal, but it's an important one.

Second, the yin and yang of 2-point and 3-point ability balance each other out. Some players are more effective midrange shooters than long-range marksmen, while others are more comfortable bombing away. And using this method makes the system more fair to players from the 1980s and early '90s, when teams didn't utilize the 3 as often or as effectively.

The one thing I left out was frequency. Obviously, players who pick their spots get higher-percentage looks than those who are the focal point of the offense on play after play. On the other hand, it's extremely difficult for players in the former group to shoot well enough from the line to crack the elite on this list, simply because of the lack of in-game repetition. Several snipers with great numbers from the floor (Brent Barry, for instance, or Hubert Davis) couldn't get into the top 10 because of free throw percentage, and even the second-ranked player on our list (one of the all-time snipers) has the worst free throw percentage of anybody in the top 10.

Also, I did set two minimum standards: 10,000 career minutes and 250 made 3-pointers. I didn't want anybody getting onto the list with a lengthy career sparsely populated with 3-point attempts; that seemed counter to the point of the exercise. While arbitrary, 250 nicely separated the truly deadly long-range shooters from the guys who merely hit midrange J's and made their free throws.

So now that our rather simple CSR method is clear, let's get to our list of the top 10 shooters, which also apparently doubles as a great predictor of post-career broadcasting, coaching and front-office opportunities. According to CSR, they are:

Top All-Time Shooters By CSR
Player 2-Pt% 3-Pt% FT% CSR
Steve Nash .515 .431 .903 1.849
Steve Kerr .494 .454 .864 1.812
Reggie Miller .525 .395 .888 1.807
Mark Price .501 .402 .904 1.807
Jeff Hornacek .515 .403 .877 1.795
Chris Mullin .533 .384 .865 1.783
Peja Stojakovic .485 .400 .895 1.779
Larry Bird .509 .376 .886 1.770
Ray Allen .482 .396 .893 1.770
Dana Barros .488 .411 .858 1.757Min. 10,000 career minutes
That's right: Steve Nash. By a mile.

I've always written that his shooting is his most underappreciated skill, but even so, this blows me away.

It makes sense, though -- run through the numbers, and Nash crushes every possible competitor. And it becomes even more impressive when one considers nearly all his shots from the field have come off the dribble. Nash and the fourth-ranked player on this list, Mark Price, are the only two players in history to shoot better than 50 percent on 2s, 40 percent on 3s and 90 percent from the line for their careers. And as it happens, Nash's general manager in Phoenix, Steve Kerr, is second on the list.

One strong point of this list is that it acknowledges a few of the game's great midrange shooters. Neither Chris Mullin nor Jeff Hornacek shot the 3 with great frequency, for instance, but both were deadly accurate when they did, and they were exceptional from 2-point range.

Fans of "Larry Legend" undoubtedly will be disappointed to see him ninth on this list and to see one player of his own size -- Stojakovic -- rank just ahead of him. But Bird's greatest asset was his ability to make high-difficulty shots, which would need to be part of a different list entirely -- a list that would include different players. (Kobe Bryant, for one obvious example, is nowhere close on the above list but would have to rank high on any list of tough-shot makers.)

If you're wondering about Nowitzki, he is 13th, and easily the best among players 6-foot-10 or taller. Players 11 to 20 on this list are Barry, Hersey Hawkins, Nowitzki, Davis, Korver, Mo Williams, Danny Ainge, Allan Houston, Scott Skiles and Glen Rice.

Before I exit, some players who didn't make my list warrant mentioning.

The first is Drazen Petrovic, who just missed my minutes cut-off because of his untimely death in 1993. Petro's rating of 1.799 would have put him fifth on the list, a fact that becomes even more impressive when one considers he was only 28 when he died -- most players improve their numbers on the above criteria well into their 30s.

The second is Calderon, who needs only 779 more minutes to crack the list; his 1.805 career mark would place him fifth. Calderon also has only 238 made 3s on his career and needs to make 12 more of those. You might think his free throw percentage carries him into the top 10, but actually it's his amazing 2-point field goal percentage that does it. Calderon has shot 53.4 percent for his career on 2-point shots, the best mark of any of the 44 players in this study.

Finally, two young players on the Golden State Warriors have established a great chance of finishing their careers near the top of this list. Rookie Stephen Curry is at 1.770 thus far in his brief career, and should that number hold up, he'll finish his career in the top 10. Since players' shooting often improves dramatically in their second through fifth seasons, he could finish as one of the top-ranked players of all time.

Then again, he also might finish second among current Warriors. Curry's teammate, Anthony Morrow, has played two NBA seasons as a part-time starter, and posted career marks of 48.8 percent on 2s, 45.9 percent on 3s and 87.6 percent from the line. That's good for a CSR of 1.822, which is better than every other player in history except Nash.

Obviously we're dealing with smaller sample sizes with those two, and it's possible they'll regress in future seasons. But when we discuss the great all-time shooters, those two are worth tracking in future seasons to see if they warrant a spot in the conversation.

Nash will get the Laker bigs going early and often. This will result in him getting a TON of open looks and allow him and Kobe to close games. I can't wait for this season to start sons.

Lakers got permission to consult with Dwight Howard's back surgeon, Robert Watkins, this morning. Said Kupchak: "We feel very assured he’s going to be back. We’re hopeful he’s back for camp; we’re hopeful he’s back to start the season. But we know he’s going to be back and playing at a high level at some point in time."LINK (http://sulia.com/source/S-245371/?source=twitter&guid=16563f6b-9b5c-48fa-ad09-8d675228ef08)

It is what it is. Howard's a whiny little bitch, cocksucker didn't even appear at his own kid's basketball camp. He almost makes LeBron's "decision" look minor in comparison.

[Latarian Milton]

you never know if morey was really IN for DH or it was just smokescreen. dude just made some forlorn attempts at big names, while most of done trades they've made during moreys tenure are minor ones and none of these trades have actually hurt this team. morey had nothing to do with re-signing a 7'6 shit to a 5yr lucrative contract worth 80 fucking million tbh

*** BUMP ***


EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Just more than five months removed from back surgery, Dwight Howard (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2384/dwight-howard) played in the Los Angeles Lakers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers)' first practice of the season Tuesday without limitation, participating in the same set of drills and activities as his teammates.
While Howard already has been ruled out of the Lakers' preseason opener Oct. 7, according to the team, the All-Star center said he wants to play in an exhibition or two before the regular season tips off Oct. 30.

"Hopefully, I'll be back for some preseason games," Howard said. "I think we're going to need it for chemistry and all that stuff. But, like I said, I'm not going to rush it. I'm going to continue to practice. We've had some great practices. Today was really good, so I'm happy."

A source who witnessed Howard at the portion of practice that was closed to the media described Howard's level of play to ESPNLosAngeles.com as "unbelievable."

"He was dunking everything in sight," the source said. "He looks like he can play in an NBA game today."

Howard said he was not surprised to be going full tilt considering how hard he has been training leading up to the start of camp. But Howard's effort did catch at least one of his teammates off guard.

"He worked just as much as everybody else, so that was good," Pau Gasol (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/996/pau-gasol) said. "I didn't expect that to happen today."

Fisher is known for hitting a couple of big shots late in some big games. Shooting prowess? Not so much.

Fisher career fg%-.400 3p%-.373 Last season .343 and .314
Nash career fg%- .491 3p%-.428 Last season .532 and .390

pts per game Fish 8.6 Nash 14.5
assists Fish 3.1 Nash 8.6

Enough already. Nice lateral move on the shoothing there Mid.

FUCK DAN GILBERT!
That Damn GILBERT!
FUCK GILBERT!

~Midnightpulp after every laker win after the trade~

Not a single person on the planet with any basketball acumen would state that going from Fish/Sessions to Nash is a lateral move. That is why you look so foolish and your posts come off as nothing but hate and pure jealousy.

Nowhere in my post did I say this move was going to get the Lakers out of the 2nd round. There are a lot of intangibles that go into the playoffs with matchups, injuries, etc etc. I also alluded to the defensive issues.

But saying this is a lateral move is nothing short of stupidity and the shoe fits you very well.

I am so curious as to how many times you going to post FUCK Sarver in the coming year? :lmao

Sing it Midget! Sing away!!!! :lol


Fisher is a career 37% 3 point shooter and cobbler says he doesn't have shooting prowess. :lmao

Lateral move.

You morons are acting like you're getting the '05 version of Steve Nash. He's 38. I'll say that again. He's fuckin' 38. He has back problems. He'll be away from his run and gun comfort zone for the first time ever in his career. He's a terrible defender. The only thing he'll bring that Sessions didn't is floor spacing, but he also lacks Sessions' ability to penetrate at this stage in his career, not to mention his youth. Prepare for a lot of nights of Steve Blake playing 15 to 20 minutes a game.

Lateral move.

Nash wasn't the only one at whom Howard pointed a finger, also calling for more emphasis to be placed on defense during D'Antoni's practices.

"Guys got to be in the right spots and they have to be taught it and it has to be something that you practice on so guys can understand," Howard said, visibly frustrated as he spoke. "They have to go through it. You just can't talk about defense or talk about where to go. You actually have to show guys where to go."

At least Buss is trying to get Kobe the help he needs. Peter Holt is standing pat with scrubs and really lucky late round picks who've succumbed to injuries time and again so Tim pretty much had zero shot at a ring this year. There's always the most consecutive playoff appearances point though.

Fair unbiased take on what Nash will do for the Lakers:

kW86Uv7DaSw&feature=youtube_gdata_player


Chimpy Hollinger details why he calls Nash the greatest pure shooter in NBA history. I know non-Laker fans won't read it but I'll post anyway:





LINK (http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/insider/columns/story?columnist=hollinger_john&page=PERDiem-100309&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fnba %2finsider%2fcolumns%2fstory%3fcolumnist%3dholling er_john%26page%3dPERDiem-100309)

Nash will get the Laker bigs going early and often. This will result in him getting a TON of open looks and allow him and Kobe to close games. I can't wait for this season to start sons.


:lol 0 for life and the shittiest franchise in the history of sports!

The jealousy and obsession are prominent with this moron!

[midnightpulp]

And we'll be sure to bump this thread when the Lakers get ousted in the 2nd round.

Nash is such a smart, crafty player, I expect him to be somewhat effective in the Lakers's system, which is about as far away from his comfort zone as you can get, but I don't see him providing much more of an impact than last year's savior. He's even worse than Sessions defensively and the fact he needs to dominate the ball to maximize his impact won't complement Kirby's game very well, if at all.

And then there's his back issues.

Great fucking pickup, Mitch :tu

Mortgage your future for a player who will retire in 2 years. Lakers need athleticism, shooters, and a fucking bench. Nash only provides one of those things.
