What teams would take Steve Nash if Lakers included Randle?

I don't see a single team with cap space outside of Cleveland or Miami that wouldn't.

Suns being the first that would.

We can just package Nash with rising star Marshall. Marshall is basically Jeremy Lin on steroids. That way we keep Randle. Think about it:

Lebron
Kobe
Gasol
Melo
Randle

na... nobody would that lol.

I've probably been one of the most anti-Lin figures here when that stupid jersey controversy happened and I think that comparing Marshal to Lin is utterly ridiculous.

Any team. Randle will be a beast and Nash could at least be a mentor to a young point guard. Don't see why Toronto wouldn't do it in a heartbeat. Bring Nash back home plus an upgrade at pf.

so let's say the lakers make this trade of nash and randle and lebron doesn't come...what then?

They could stretch Nash and save $6.4M. So $3.2M isn't worth moving Randle.

I could think of 29 teams that would take Randle for Nash's contract

If Lebron wasnt going to resign with Miami I could even see Miami taking this deal combined with whatever comp they get for losing Bron Bron

He is debating on playing with a washed up Wade. I don't think that will be an issue.

I would want Utah to take on Nash's contract just for his influence.

Absolutely every team with cap space.

If the Lakers traded Nash and Randle to a team under the cap then the Lakers wouldn't need to take back any contracts. The Lakers would now have $34 million cap space to sign LeBron and Carmelo.

Excellent. Find a way to get more to sign them and then more to put an NBA team around them and you've got a plan that works.

To answer your question, I think any teams would take Nash to get Randle. The rest of the plan I find unrealistic.

Can the Lakers renegotiate Kobe's deal if he was open to that?

"Rising star Marshall" rofl. Some fans are delusional please don't take them seriously. Even though I am a Marshall fan.

Could be a trade for Love.

Definitely not exactly fair value, but the Wolves at least get cap space and a young PF.

Dupp · Post #37 » by **Dupp** » Sun Jul 6, 2014 11:19 pm

Most teams.

But melo and lebron aren't signing for less money than Kobe so no chance of happening.

Giving up Randle just to get rid of Nash is just plain idiotic.
