Update: Steve Nash to Lakers for package of 1st rd picks

[Ben]

Great deal for Suns if that happens. I really like Shumpert.

And trading him is the last thing the Knicks need to be doing.

[chilltown]

SMH. I like the deal for Shumpert.. But hold the **** on with the PG's Suns.

Its like they are saying to themselves 'shit. we are losing Nash. Need as many PGs/SGs as we can to ease the loss. Sign EVERYONE.'

Gordon, Dragic, Shumpert, Douglas, Marshall.. We are going to shift from one logjam on the wings to one in the backcourt.. Not to mention we picked up Telfair's option.

Amare is probably recruiting Nash to play in NY so he has a teammate that will get him the ball.

That being said, Nash isn't a good fit for the Knicks right now. Woodson runs an iso heavy scheme and isn't crazy about the pick and roll. Plus he like guys that defend, which Nash can't do.

[Dissonance]

Shumpert may be used in a Gordon trade.


I don't think Douglas is staying long. Marshall's a backup/developmental guy. I think it's too late to dump Telfair on the option though. Dragic signs, he'll start.

If we got Shumpert I would want to keep him. Evidently NOLA covets Lopez.. so I would give him to them and find someone else cheap. Our front court is awful anyways and every part of it is replaceable IMO. I seriously think that the suns are in for a rude awakening with Gortat. I was not very impressed with him last year when he wasn't being spoon fed the ball on pick n rolls. He does have other redeeming qualities like rebounding and playing very solid defense, but I don't think he is touching 15ppg.. especially on such a high FG %.

Yeah, I'd want to keep him too. Liked Shumpert coming out.

Oh, really? They do. Ship Lopez' ass out then if we can!


I think Gortat will be moved. Rubbed the org wrong way privately, and heard they know, he may lose value once Nash is gone.

I understand that Nash is still an excellent point guard, but I think he's the last person the Knicks should be going after. Unless Woodson wants to adjust his offense to the kind that Nash likes to run, I don't see how this will work out. And who ever it was that said Woodson only likes guys who defend, you do understand that Amare and Carmelo are both on the Knicks team right? I honestly don't think he cares at this point. But I do think Nash's lack of defensive ability is another reason as to why they shouldn't be pursuing him. Just my opinion though.

**** off NY. Just **** off.

Amare and Carmelo aren't exactly defensive specialists, that's true. But Nash is really, really bad on that side of the ball. A bad fit all around, but it just goes to show that the Knicks care more about names than winning. Typical Dolan.

I hope this shit doesn't go through, would hate to see Shump go.

Really? I hadn't heard about that.

[Seuss]

The Knicks would be quite scary with Nash, Melo, Chandler and Amare--if they had the right coach. If the trade happens and Woodson can't get their offense flowing, expect a quick exit from him.

[doctordrizzay]

I lineup of Nash Melo and Amare would be so easy to score on
