What's really interesting though, is if we do get Nash by somehow unloading Anderson, Jameer, JJ...Thats an extra 17 million off the cap next year.

Would put us at 47 mil, just sayin.

Suns want salary dump along with youth and draft picks. A third team would almost certainly need to be added.

Will see how aggressive Otis is. Cause it's gonna take alot. Nash in phx is money in sarvers pocket. It's gonna take more then a measly j Nelson and redick. There is no benefit for the suns there. Even throwing in Ryan Anderson isn't enough. Sarver see no ca$h there.

If this is the tone of your FO, Otis Smith should just say kick rocks with no shoes on.


Yea it's the tone of the front office. Sarver is a banker and all he sees is $$$$$$. Sarver sucks. If Jerry colangelo was around he would be smart and trade Nash. I think it's time to move on but I'm not in the front office. Love Nash but it's time.

We should also get Grant Hill back so he can fracture his ankle again on his first game back in a Magic uniform.

Even if that means moving Anderson?

I'd rather move Nelson than Ryan .. Ryan should be untouchable if the player coming to Orlando isn't named Monta Ellis or Deron Williams

Totally agree. Why do so many people treat trading a 23 year old PF that's on the way up like a throw in on some of thee deals?

Do that in a heartbeat. It's so straightforward.


yeah, that's not bad. everyone gets what they want.

PHX have a teaser of Beasley, but no future financial commitment if they choose not to re-sign him.

ha...ha...haha....hahaha...kaff..kaff..hoo, sorry, really had me laughing there.

So, Nelson, Redick, and Anderson are not enough for Nash? You did realize we are talking about Steve Nash here, right? That's 38 year old Steve Nash? You know, the point guard?

I hear what your saying. But he currently leads the league in assists and is more physically fit then most 25 year olds. It is what it is.

"He has not gotten along with coach Scott Skiles, and making matters worse, he has struggled badly on the floor, shooting 35.7 percent from the field and 27.8 percent on 3s, averaging just 10.5 points. Problem is, he is making $9.3 million and has another year on his contract. The Bucks would give him away, if possible."

Sunsdeuce, why did your GM give Frye, Warrick, Chills, & Dudley thOse contracts? Especially when Nash's contact ended much sooner.
