    So Dallas misses on Williams (trashed a defend ring season), Toronto misses on Nash (overpays Fields), and Houston (trades for picks to get Howard) and gets a team full of rookies.

    So, which team is the biggest loser?

    Lakers did right by acquiring Sessions for nothing... mixing in some youth is what they need... what sucked for them is that Sessions was a terrible defender... that's obviously still to be addressed, seeing Nash is simply a downgrade in that department...

    Nash is a capable team defender like MI21 said.

    And trust me on that, it's not often I compliment Lakers players.
    Coming from a Suns fan, I'll take that with a grain of salt. It's not like you've been exposed to defense much in your time as a Suns fan, even the time your team swept us a few years ago.

    I will agree to disagree but to insult Manu is pretty low, man.
    Not an insult to Manu. Playoff Manu used to be an above-average man defender and absolute elite team defender (like, Top 10 in the L) in my eyes.. but now, his man defense is quite bad. Not Nash bad, but bad.

    That's revisionist history. Most sane people complained about the Lakers getting Shaq and most people definitely believed the Grizzlies got raped by the Lakers in that deal, with even Pop complaining about that deal.
    You don't remember well. Yes pop complained but many in here ( not all) were saying Gasol was soft, never won anything and wasn't going to help the lakers much.

    I am not comparing anything. I am saying that no matter what deal the Lakers pull off many in here will say it wasn't a good move.
    sure you are... the entire league went nuts when Memphis pulled that trade, including Pop...

    rascal majored in revisionist history. Have him tell you the one about how the Spurs passed on Rasheed Wallace when they could have had him for scraps. It's a real hoot.

    Back then the Spurs were coming out of a championship... obviously there was some bravado there, and there were reasons to back it up... right now it's nothing like that...

    i remember when the Lakers got O'Neal how many Spur fans said it wasn't going to make any difference because Shaq never won a le.

    I remember when the Lakers got Gasol Spur fans said he wasn't any good, was too soft and never won anything.

    No matter how good other teams upgrade talent spur fans will find a way to say it wasn't a good move.
    I remember when the Spurs were winning les with elite frontcourt players and rascal said he hated them because they were boring and didn't run.

    Then I remember when the Spurs became a running team and rascal hated them for not having elite bigs.

    Nash is getting up there in age, no doubt but he is still a capable offensive force and is a big upgrade as a floor general who will make the other players better.

    You post garbage and get called on it.

    Then you whine about getting called on it.

    And for smack talk, that's weaker than your basketball takes.

    What a miserable, pathetic, self-proclaimed loser you are.

    The Spurs are not a running team. You don't know running teams if you think the Spurs are a running team. the Spurs back in the 1970s were a running team.


    They are a spot up shooting team with excellent 3 point shooters. Have excellent ball movement passing around the perimeter finding open looks.

    The Spurs don't have enough athleticism to be a running team. They don't have enough finishers.

    Yeah, I've never liked Steve Nash and found him to be really overrated during his prime - but he is a capable team defender, which still is something.

    Spurs fans often think that because our team was good defensive 5 years ago, we have some insider knowledge as to what defense is. Nearly every prospect is tagged as a bad defender, it frustrates me.

    Mel_13 doesn't always go HAM, but when he does, he does it on Rascal.

    Stay regulated my friends

    My work is done here. You've been effectively neutered again.
