LOL at the name Laundry Fields. I only know of Landry.
for the sole purpose of ensuring the Knicks can't use him in a sign and trade for Nash
So assuming this strategy works (which it probably will now given Nash would have to take a paycut to go anywhere other than Toronto), Toronto will have used nearly all of its cap room on Nash's deal way above what another team wanted to/could have paid, and another deal to make sure the one team that could have paid Nash as much in a sign and trade couldn't.
Expect Jerry Colangelo to be heralded for his crafty use of cap room to sign Steve Nash, as if giving out a combined 3 year, $56,000,000 to sign a point guard who's 38 and not sought after by any other team with huge cap room takes some sort of skill.

Jerry Colangelo > Bryan Colangelo
But not by much, tbh.
Meant to say Bryan obviously.
Colangelo is a Idiot.
They're not gonna be a contender anytime anyways. The contract might pay for itself in ticket and jersey sales, and maybe if they sneak into the playoffs as an 8 seed and get a few extra home dates.
Well I can't argue with that, Bryan Colangelo has perfected the art of assembling mediocre teams that can sneak into the playoffs
This is a solid business move, Canadians dont give a about basketball anyways. They just want their national hero donning a Raptors uni, they could care less about fielding a compe ive team.
Collangelo knows they won't contend, signing Nash sells out every single night. This is about dollars son
LOL, the Landry signing is damn near as bad as the contract for Asik.
Fields is not a good player. He's a role player off the bench at best, a contract like this should be going to a young 6th man candidate.
DoK isn't wrong, this is a dumb basketball move, but it's a smart business move to lock up Nash. However, will Nash be butthurt they pulled the Knicks off the table for him?
I get the strategy but what if Knicks don't match they now have: 3 SG didn't they just draft one last week? LOL
It'll be a stupid move when Nash falls off a cliff, which he likely will next season. Kareem's about the only guy I can think of who didn't fall off bigtime by age 39; he did at 40, which is how old Nash will be in the second year of the contract.
nash is in better shape tho
Plus he has Samsons hair, Cap was bald.
He'll be 39 by the time next season ends, and no longer will have the best training staff in the league nursing his back. There's a very solid chance the wheels completely fall off for Nash by the end of year 1 of this deal. Nash isn't an idiot, there's a reason why he wants 3 years of guaranteed money.
jonas valanciunas is going to love nash though. He will make him some money.
Good point on the training staff. I didn't think there was a way to make Colangelo look any more re ed, but that argument is pretty damning.

LOL @ these subpar players with these huge contracts. Asi
