Nash as a replacement for Brent?

[beirmeistr]

Nash is the purest point guard in the league. I've always loved his game and respected the man.

But, the guy is also one of the biggest defensive liabilities there ever was. I can't even imagine what his defense will look like in a couple more yrs.

Wouldn't an older, bench-player nash be similar to what Steve Kerr used to do with the Spurs (defense-wise)?

[thispego]

What do you guys think? After Brent retires, maybe Nash could step in a fill his 3pt shooter role. Then, the Spurs should be able to take Nash for a ride to the finals.

you are the biggest waste of time on this board. you dont bring to the table as evidenced by this stupid ass thread (among others).

[PlayoffEx-static]

Nash is a better defender than Barry and Finley put together.

WRONG. At least they try. Nash makes no attempt to cover his man. If you ever want to see Steve Nash's defensive career in a nuts , watch Q4 of Game 6 vs. Dallas 2003. Even Nellie was pissed off at him for continually leaving Kerr.

[Mavs<Spurs]

He would have to make more of an effort at d, if he wanted to see much time on the court.

[Elraptor]

He'll proboully stay in PHX for the rest of his career.

Thread raises an interesting and legitimate question: Is Nash good enough at defense that he could serve as Tony's back-up. Certainly, it would be Nash's best chance at a ring.

[HarlemHeat37]

if you guys mean Nash at the end of his career, then sure..but Nash is way too good to come play a BACKUP role right now..

his defense wouldn't be a problem..we get away with Finley playing significant minutes, and he might be the worst perimeter defender in the NBA..

[Shaolin-Style]

You could basically sub Nash for Finley and you'd have about the same defense.

But not the same paycheck or offense.

What's with all the delusional threads today?

Word. Why is this even a topic of discussion? Why are we looking at what our roster will look like for 2011-2012???

2008! FOCUS:

Let's see how great of a defensive coach Pop is.

I'd say bring on board.

Pop's not a miracle worker........

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu and Nash off the bench.

[spurscenter]

are there any good bars in SA for Nash?

If Nash wants a ring, that might be a good move for him.
