Almost 10 Mil on the books next season and he'll play what? maybe 10 games if he's lucky.

[spurraider21]

^hopefully exactly 10 games

In for penny.

In for pound.

[Captivus]

I would also get the money, but the salary cap situation is the issue. Why play that 10th game?

[Capt Bringdown]

The Lakers knew the risks, now they gotta pay the price for the gambit not working.I hope Nash gets every penny out of that contract.
Heck, the Lakers can't be too disappointed, since they're erecting an statue of Nash outside of Staples. Here's an early artist's concept:

I don't see what's funny tbh. Who in their right mind is going to turn down $19 million to be third base?

wow 6:20 to 7:00.
He does claim anyone else would do the same thing and get all the money they could.
While i believe some would, certainly not all.

Who here wouldn't take the $19 million he's due? He's not Warren Buffet. A $19 million contract is still a ton of money after taxes.

Steve is an incredible actor and I am being serious. He was also being damn honest which is a good thing and LA made their bed with that trade and contract knowing full well Steve's medical history. Steve should be under no obligation, especially to a franchise like LA, to retire to just save them money.

My question is though, I thought if someone was medically forced to retire, they still got their money. If that's the case, why play that 10th game? Is it because he knows he can still get another contract after this one?

Because he likes to be on the floor, and travel with the team to get strange in each city?

[DPG21920]

Another good point..

[baseline bum]

It cracks me up how people act surprised that Nash is all about the money now since he always has been.

[DPG21920]

Well, it's not just Nash. It's every athlete for the most part. Very few truly aren't about the money and most totally are. Even the greats that give up some money to help (Duncan, Lebron, Wade, Dirk) still get paid damn well. Again, why on Earth would someone retire and give up that money. Worst case, if LA cared about saving money, they could buy him out and save a little. But they don't, so he doesn't either. They can trade him, buy him out/cut him.

[TheGoldStandard]

I agree but Duncan is not a detriment to the Spurs chances for FA.

[Mugen]

One of my favorite Lakers of all time tbh, the Heart of a Champion. Keep gettin' dem checks, Steve.

[Double-Up]

Motherfucker says he wants his money...every little bit. At least he's honest.

What ever happened to the video of the 2006 and 2007 playoffs with the Dark Knight stuff in the background? It had Stern with devil horns and "Miami Heat 2006 champions" in the background, clips of the Warriors taking out the Mavs in 2007, and others.

Nash made the worst financial decision any athlete can make:

DIVORCE.

There was no fucking way he was going to retire after getting a divorce in a community property state.

^Duncan as well.

Kobe is whole though. tee, hee.

[Sportstudi]

Steve Nash - villain for not retiring after being injured.

Kobe - worshiped even though he's played 6 games while being paid 30 mil.


Kobe is praised for working so hard to come back for injuries yet Nash is hated on. Double standard much.

Woman, if you want to play this injury card you'll do it by yourself. I ain't doin' it.

It's my religion.

P.S., you got a nice ass, 8th grade, or, AARP member.

I see your capitulation and accept it, Dale.

P.S., You better not be hiding those 8th grade pictures under the lazy boy while the house is empty.

Nope. You have this shit sandwich all to yourself. I will not dilly-dally on that card.

You have a 2nd helping of a chickenshit sandwich if you don't capitulate, perhaps I should fly the old lady in for a weekend in Arizona?

Capitulate to what? You're the one easing on down into the injury card. Not I.

You pen the injury card on Nash, I simply pointed out the error. You can designate the shitbag all you want, but when you step on toes when designating pussies & assholes I'll make you feel like it's Spurs vs Suns in the WCF again.

You've been full of shit since a quarter before 12am yesterday, bend over and we'd have a shit sandwich - go wash.

This is so on the money. He will get another contract after this one. He'll get paid something to be a back up or 3rd pg on a team after this contract is over.
