Should the Suns limit Nash's role?

[Frank Lee]

]With the illusion that he could trust his minority owner/friend/former player, Steve Kerr to actually run the franchise without any experience in the front office, on the bench, or even as a player scout. That my friend is the biggest mistake he has made so far. Everybody is a rookie owner when they first buy a team, but you should always have a lot proven experience around you to learn from

We definitely ask too much of Nash. I don’t want to dwell on all our missed opportunities in the past; but letting Joe Johnson go was probably the reason why Nash will never win a championship here in Phoenix.

I agree with you 100%. The reason why the Suns never won a title in the last four years is because the mistake that Robert Sarver made not resigning Joe Jonhson.

I don't necessarily believe that. Joe Johnson netted us Boris Diaw, who was a GODSEND when Amare was out all of 05-06.

Joe Johnson would a great backcourt mate with Barbosa, not with Nash as long as Nash isn't willing to play off the ball and do catch and shoot.

I second the initial post of the thread and reiterate that the only solution was for Nash to emulate Stockton. Otherwise, Nash's negative would outweigh his positive in series against elite teams who easily find ways to make his dribble offense ineffective.
