Start Dragic and bring Nash in off the bench.

I'd actually like to see Lou start at center

C-Lou
PF-Amare
SF-Hill
SG-Jay
PG-Nash

Yeah wait instead of playing a promising young true center you would want to play a 6'8 or 6'7 Bo Outlaw reincarnation at center who is by far our worst offensive player...

Most people know how much of a fan I am of Amundson, he's probably my least favorite player on the Suns but one thing he can do is rebound even though he sucks at everything else. The Suns need rebounding at the center position. Frye and Lopez's rebounding numbers are scary considering their 7 footers...

well maybe it'd be good seein as we're lookin to make Dragic our future PG, so it'd be good for his development to get more minutes. Nash off the bench, can't imagine him trippin about it, and even off the bench he could log in major minutes so I don't think he'll take it personal or get upset. Certainly something Gentry should look into atleast in SOME games

Wait, for the rest of the season or for tonight? I don't see why we would play Nash off the bench for the rest of the season, maybe against the Warriors tonight but definitely not for the rest of the season.

lol you guys are out of your minds.

Why? Lopez for Frye was done for defense. Why Nash for Dragic?

Isn't it a little bit early for the April's Fools threads?

It's not about benching Nash to develop young players. Nash just needs to emulate Stockton and play off the ball a lot more, as actually instructed by Porter early last season. His traditional ball-dominating style gets exposed nowaday and he can't score 50 pts like 4-5 years ago against Mavs to beat the opponents all by himself. Have Nash do more off-ball cuts etc in a role as SG for some stretches, we could better utilize, and develop, the talents of Dragic, Hill, JRich, Amare at handling the ball and directing the offense.

Saw a bit of that in tonight's game against GS.

That's encouraging to hear, as I couldn't find an online feed to watch the game. We just need to be patient with the new alternatives that they might not be as effective yet as Nash. Errors are expected and should be tolerated.

League Pass has been free for the last few days, and you can archive the game, which I just watched. It will be free until Sunday.

Some of his errors were just silly ones tonight. I still think he is trying to do too much right now.
