Having just signed a contract extension with the Suns, Steve Nash took just a few seconds to look back on the last few years.
"You know what? I enjoy life too much to look back a lot," Nash told the Arizona Republic of his five years with the Suns. "I have too much to look forward to each day, too much left to accomplish and work for. Yeah, it's a shame and it hurts, if I take a minute to stop and think about it. But I don't really have any regrets, and I look forward to continuing to improve and being part of a great environment and a great team."
As positive and forgiving as Nash sounded, he proved that he could be bitter too.
"No one gave us Pau Gasol for nothing," he added.
Nash was referring to a February 2008 trade between the Grizzlies and Lakers. Los Angeles acquired Gasol and a 2010 second round pick from Memphis for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, the rights to Marc Gasol and two future draft picks
lol ... nash threw amare under the bus a bit ...
You kinda lose the right to whine when you told the GM to trade an all star 3rd all NBA center for nothing.
A bike ride with Baron Davis might make him feel better.
I can understand why he has that at ude. The only thing he sees when he looks back is the guy that just dribbled right past him.
Phoenix had their chance to trade Amare for KG and balked, and the rest is history. Boston won a championship, and Phoenix has since become a non-factor in the league. It's amazing how often GMs still think they can build teams around immature dunk machines who don't care about defense. It just doesn't work.
What a pathetic piece of Steve Nash is. Dude had a whole ing team of all stars and could never get the job done. Cry me a ing river.
ripping the gasol trade is standard fare when talking about how ty your team's situation is
I like watching Nash play. Too bad he's such a head.
Pau was on the trading block for two years and no one made the move to get him. Mr. West may have recorded his final assist in the process as well![]()
Team A traded an expiring contract + their 2008 and 2010 first round pick for Gasol.
Team B traded an expiring contract + their 2008 and 2010 first round pick for nothing.
When you just signed an extension with team B, don't whine about a trade team A made when it's clear team B had no interest making that trade.
If anybody knew he'd be let go for that, they would've been sending their wives and daughters over to make sure their team was the recipient.
Maybe certain teams would, but not a team that just traded a similar package for nothing.
The Grizzlies got more in return than the Bucks did for Jefferson. Trading away talent for cap space is a way of life in the NBA now. The Griz are actually in better shape now than they were two years ago, which isn't saying much, but it's still true.
Any team with Z-Bo isn't in good shape IMO, but if they don't make that stupid Z-Bo trade I agree they were in better shape.
Yeah, I don't get the Zach trade either, especially after getting three defensive minded guys in the draft in Carroll, Young, and Thabeet.
