That sums it up well. The Knicks found out how that went.

Not meaning it'd be a similar situation in Phoenix, but the general way of the team not quite fitting Larry Brown's philosophies and style.

I love LB but he would not be a good fit in Phoenix.

And contrary to what most people think, I bet he would love to have Nash as his PG. He loves reliable PGs that are the coach on the floor, hit open jumpers all day long, make great decisions, don't turn the ball over, rack up assists like crazy and get his teamates going, etc. For all the criticism I throw at Nash, he is definately all of that.

He would get them to play championship defense though, or ship out guys that don't/won't.

And then talk about coaching other teams while his own team is in middle of a playoff series.
