One should only get mad or upset over things that one can control. Nash certainly couldn't control his body breaking down at 37 years old or the value Lakers gave up to get him in that trade. He is a classy dude, and deserves respect from every fan of this sport.

I hope he stays involved in basketball, and wins a championship as a coach eventually. I wish him the best.

Didn't mention Marion either, which I thought was odd.

that's where you're wrong...Nash did have control, he had option to either sign for MLE or forced the Lakers to do that sign and trade, he choose the latter because he didn't want to take a paycut to come here. NY and Tor. were the other 2 suitors at the time that was offering him the 9-10mill/yr contract but diff. there was "on paper" neither NY or Tor would have had the contending team we would have with him on board. He forced mgmt. hands to give him his salary and Pho mgmt. took advantage of that fact and forced us to give more for Nash than we did for Howard.
