Phoenix only has 13 players so they don't need to waive anyone to do a 2 for 4 player trade.
Rockets would be down to 13 players from 15.

While I think a Nash-Lowry backcourt would be so much fun to watch on offense, in the longterm this is a deal to get the 28 year old Gortat who is a 15/10 center this year. He will be our Pekovic Stopper next year.

No dice McDysse

in reality steve nash does not want to get traded and of course if there was every a situation where nash and phx decided to go their separate ways, Nash would probably be with a contender. and even less likely they include their solid center which as we all know are few in numbers.

Cut out Nash and Martin and its a deal.

Why does Phoenix do this?

Suns aren't going anywhere this year, Nash is a free agent.
Martin = 29 year old 2nd tier two guard
Dragic = fan favorite and capable starting point guard
Morris = teams up with wonder twin Markieff for frontcourt of the future
Hill = UA product, might be better than Lopez or Frye at center

Gortat = Super Cheap (7m, yes?) All Star Center (or right at it)
Nash = Still a Superstar via some sort of Unknown Black Magic

Either of them is better than our whole package. I'd happily do the trade.
