Trade offers for Steve Nash

[GoBobs]

Bobcats fan here. When Nash signed that extension last summer I thought the Suns had made a mistake, but I have to say after the way he played last year I was totally wrong. I totally understand the sentiment to let him retire as a Sun given what he has meant to your club. I totally agree with most of the posters here that respect how not every player feels entitled to be on a contending team. Doesn't the guy who doesn't demand a trade almost deserve it more then the me first type we have gotten used to though.

Here is why I think Nash could be more valuable to the Bobcats then most of the other teams in the league. We have tons of athletic guys who can finish plays above the rim. We have one of the best defenses in the league and could cover for Nash's D not being top notch. To go along with that we have one of the worst offenses and Nash could really help us in that area.

Here are some of the things we could offer:

Raymond Felton S&T : 2009-2010 12.1 ppg 3.6 rebounds 5.6 assists 1.5 steals 2.1 turnover 46% fg 38% 3pt and a very good defender. 7 teams have inquired about him. We look poised to lose him for nothing because he wants a more then we want to give him and we don't want to pay the LT. ( I am assuming MJ would pay the tax for Nash) My guess is he will probably get 8-10 mil in free agency the way things have been going. Felton is 26 years old.

or

DJ + Nazr DJ had a drop off from his rookie year but still shot almost 40% from three which is one of his best skills. He is very comfortable with the ball, some have compared his play style to Nash. He is not the defender that Raymond is but is still on a rookie contract for two more years before he becomes restricted. Nazr is included to make the money work he is an average starter or one of the best backups in the league at center. He has a 6.8 mil expiring contract. DJ is 25, Nazr is 33.

In addition we could include your choice of the following:

Derick Brown 6'8'' Rookie from Xavier who had a solid rookie season last year in limited time. His contract is very cheap at like 650k

Alexis Ajinca Center with huge upside and talent but questionable motor. 7'2'' with the longest wingspan in the league. He put up monster stats in the D league last year including a triple double with 10 blocks.

Both these guys will be playing in our summer league game on nba tv Monday.

If the Suns were to trade Nash(which they won't) they'd want to rebuild and none of those pieces are even close to being worth Nash or a focal point in a rebuild.

If MJ starts his phone call with anyone from the Suns he better bring up Gerald Wallace to make sure they don't hang up.

I still like my LB for Diaw swap.

Oh by the way, don't think Steve Nash makes sense with Bobcats. Not hating just saying.

my trade idea- http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachi ... Id=29dtpc2

If this trade happened we could be in the lottery next year and we would have young pg and cash sense butler and jrich will be fa.we could use our money to go after melo/jgreen or anyone else we might want

Forget it guys. Come back when Nash asks for a trade.

[DRK]

Wasn't there rumors last season about Nash going to Portland for LaFrentz (12mil expiring) and Bayless? Even that sounds good compared to these Charlotte trades, which are borderlining on disrespectful.

[wordsenuff]

i like charlotte, but i dont see nash ever playing for them.

if he did ask for a trade, i'd hope he'd land up on a championship contending team so he gets a ring.
i just dont think the bobcats can get there in the next couple years.
