Nash turns down reported $11 million more from Raptors to go to Lakers. He's rare athlete you can believe when he says it's not about the $.

What gets me is I heard somewhere that he just couldn't put on a Lakers uniform. So I guess that was a pure bullshit statement, huh?

Yeah.. Nash just exposed himself as a phony.

Maybe his way of saying F u to the Suns ownership who ****ed him over the last 5 seasons.

Terrible for the Raptors. LMAO.

**Ben** · 07-04-2012, 05:55 PM

Lakers gave up two late first rounders and two late second rounders. A few bench players if they got lucky with the picks. The type of player they'll be able to sign in abundance when all the old folk leave the team.

Raptors going to go for Lowry again?

HELL YEAH!!!

A rebuild has to take place at some time. When would you rather do it?

Very likely they draft players like Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, Devin Ebanks and Luke Walton with those picks. Sure they can be servicable role players, but they don't accelerate a rebuild and its not worth a chance at being probable favorites to win the West for the next two seasons.

According to @ESPNSteinLine, Nash gets 3 yrs, $25M from Lakers. Will recruit Grant Hill to join him in LA.

**Ben** · 07-04-2012, 05:58 PM

Hill too?! Wow.

**Lynx** · 07-04-2012, 05:59 PM

I can't wait to rub it in to my co-workers tomorrow.

**Ender** · 07-04-2012, 06:00 PM

That 2015 pick could be a very good if that pick does not have protection on it.

hobojoe · 07-04-2012, 06:01 PM

They still need Dwight IMO.

MojoPin · 07-04-2012, 06:02 PM

A bold and awesome move. Championship time!

And this is why you can't get emotionally invested. Waste of time.

Sources told ESPN.com that Nash will try to convince longtime teammate Grant Hill, one of his closest friends in the game, to join him with the Lakers. ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher reported over the weekend the Lakers were one of four teams (along with Toronto, New York and Phoenix) in the running for Hill after the 39-year-old's recent trip to Germany undergo the same platelet-enrichment treatment on his knee that Bryant credited for his rejuvenated knee last season.

From the same story.
