Not just difficult, but almost cruel.

Nash, more than any other star player in the league, thrives on chemistry and rhythm. He is an instinctive and improvisational player who gets better the longer he's able to play with his teammates. Once he knows and feels what they are going to do and how they can be most effective, he can use his talents to lift the level of the team.

Unfortunately, as the season progresses and Nash has more time to learn his new mates his body will continue to wear down and he won't physically be able to play at the same level. So in November when he's feeling his best, he won't yet have found the optimal rhythm for leading his team.

A cruel fate indeed...
