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

[Dissonance]

4 draft picks or 4 1's?

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro

As @Gambo620 first reported, the #Suns have agreed to send Steve Nash to the Lakers in a sign-and-trade deal for four draft picks and cash.

In the Nash sign-and-trade, the #Suns will get 2013 & 2015 first-round picks and 2013 & 2014 second-round picks.

Nash-to-LA could ripple down to Dwight Howard. Howard reluctant to play with Kobe. Playmaking Nash on board might change things

Imagine if they now swung a deal for Dwight?

You got that right.

I will be beyond ecstatic if this goes down. Wow.

[Luke]

Oh hey contention, it's been a minute.

But it feels so good to be back.

[Dissonance]

It's done.

[Ben]

Please Atlanta, remove the possibility of LA getting Dwight.

That's what I was just thinking. It would definitely make sense to now to do the Bynum/Howard swap, **** whatever he's said about where he wants to go.

Presumably, Nash goes into the Lakers' trade exception for Lamar Odom, explaining why no salary going to Phoenix.

Stunning that Nash is a Laker and stunning that Suns owner Robert Sarver would send him to L.A.

Well, at least they finally took advantage of a trade exception.

Giving up two number 1's for 60-year-old. Not good.

There goes the future for one last shot at the title. Not sure what to think of this deal.

Actually I think a Bynum/Howard deal is now even riskier for LA.

**** that, I don't want that nut on the Lakers.

Which I will add there has been no change in Dwightmare's thinking about not extending with any team except the Nets. So why bother with that ****?

[Luke]

On cloud ****ing nine right now.

It always has been, but even more so now that Dwightmare has come out has having multiple personalities.
