Nash upset about gasol trade

[Erik Eleven]

Oh I didn't know asking a question and replying back to other posters who were baiting me was trolling, so alright I'll leave so you guys can go back to crying about what Nash said, goodbye...

Welcome back anytime. Read the Lakers Board Rules before you post next time and I'm sure your stay will be more pleasant than this time.

[snaquille oatmeal]

btw, if anybody still thinks the Lakers gave up nothing for Gasol, the Wizzards and Caron Butler say hi.

[pooteeweet]

I don't know what Nash's beef is. The Lakers were the better team before the Gasol trade. The Lakers not acquiring Gasol wouldn't have prevented PHX from losing in 5 games to SA last year.

LAKER FANS NEED TO STOP PLAYING DUMB. NASH HAS NO BEEF. HE IS SIMPLY TELLING TRUTH: YOU GUYS GOT LUCKY AND WERE HANDED GASOL TO WIN A TITLE. PERIOD.

Steve Nash is a man on honesty. Nowhere in professional sports do you get lucky like the Lakers did when they were handed a nice piece of fish for free.

Suns have to work very hard to foster upcoming young players (Dragic, Lopez, Clark, Tucker, Dudley), work hard thru free agency with CAP restrictions (Nash, Frye, Amare, Hill), and work hard thru doing things the right way.

Meanwhile, you have the Hollywood Lakers with their unlimited money because of Hollywood, can spend all they want (Artest, Odom) and get free fish (Gasol).

Large corporations only get bigger while the small mom-n-pop stores have to suffer.

Lakers are the same way: Luck, a little corporate greed, and unfair trading practices have made them who they are. Not because of talent.

That's that and nobody else can say anything because I have final word.

This thread is about cracking on the Suns Superstar player acting (and looking) like a Basketball player... On a highschool GIRLS team...

What makes you think we'd care what one of 'his' lowly fans think...

Lykta change my mind? I can't HEAR you!!!

[toucansma]

Everyone has to relax. Like prior posts, the context was in Nash's dry sense of humor, which was blown out of proportion. He was saying it in a joking fashion. Also this is not the 3rd time Nash has commented on this. Talk about piling it on. I could see people piling on Amare or Shaq for what they say, but Nash? Come on, the man is classy.

Just chill, and enjoy the championship. You guys did really well, no reason to flip out.

[twinthunder3]

they also got to dump kwame brown's contract too...

Why are you mad.
Haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaa.................... You sound like a broke stockbroker.

How long has the Suns been a part of the NBA? How many titles have you guys won since the establishment of your franchise? How many finals appearnces have you guys been to.
Better yet.
How many 1st round picks did you guys shovel in the draft?
How many of those picks did your G.M flush down the toilet or basically cashed in on them.
How many dumb, worthless trades has your G.Ms made?

So your blaming a franchise that is known for its failures on the success of a franchise like the Lakers cause you guys just dont have the right owner or the right G.M or the right people to run your team and your franchise and its our fault?????

By the way

See EE.............. ^^^^^ This is the kind of garbage Im talking about when I posted that remark to you, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU REPEAT THE SAMETHING...... They still come, but even when you try to reason with them it still doesnt work.

[pooteeweet]

Woe is me, I didn't realize PHX had such a unique situation that they needed to develop young talent AND had the extra burden of having to sign FA's with *gasp* CAP concerns. I should feel grateful that Mr. Stern in his infinite wisdom decided to waive the salary cap just for the Lakers. It's probably because because he panders to corporations like the Buss family.

[Magicontinues]

Suns have to work very hard to foster upcoming young players (Dragic, Lopez, Clark, Tucker, Dudley), work hard thru free agency with CAP restrictions (Nash, Frye, Amare, Hill), and work hard thru doing things the right way.

Let's see, our Roster is full of Sasha, Fish, Walton, Sun Yue Kobe, all players we drafted, We signed got Odom through trade, as well as Pau, so in reality, our rosters are filled with similar drafted players we built and developed, and Trades we did, and we have a few free agents we signed also, course ours actually can play, that's the difference. So piss poor example.

Large corporations only get bigger while the small mom-n-pop stores have to suffer.

Your theory might make sense except one word "Clippers" they also are in LA, and could have the same money the Lakers have, but they are a piss poorly run franchise, that has made all the wrong moves, and pay for it over and over. The Lakers are a well run franchise, that has created a great enviroment where players want to come and play. We play by the rules, are rarely the highest spending team, if ever, and just make good decisions,.

Now, the Suns could be like the San Antonio spurs, another small market team that is run well, unlike Phoenix that is a small market team that has made horrible decisions. You have the same rules and trades you can make under those rules, and have chosen to dismantle a team that was on the brink of a championship appearance, and traded away so many good players it's funny, Rondo, Nate Robinson all could have been yours for either keeping the winning going, or trade bait for pieces. You choose to instead make horrible decisions.

So blame it on the "unfair trading" and whine about the players who want to come to what we have built, if you choose, but you sound like a jealous little biotch.

[iQon]

Oh, he was serious?

[Magicontinues]

Can someone make me a avator with that?

[bastosbruddah]

Lakers getting Gasol isn't nearly as lopsided as everyone makes it out to be. Lakers giving up Marc Gasol, J Critt, and 2 first rounders (sure they also threw in Aaron McKie). So the Lakers get the better end of a deal, and then everyone whines and complains.
Now the deal that got boston KG...that has got to be the most lopsided trade. It was a blatant act of collusion between 2 ex-celtic GM's, but nobody makes anything of it.

[The Laker Kid]

wow.. Steve Nash??? I thought he retired.

[DEEP3CL]

Nash can suck my toe. I'm tired of hearing how West done this deal, for the last time retards JW wasn't even an employee for the Griz at the time. The only benefit Mitch maybe had was an inner working of their cap situation that's about it. Everybody had a chance at Pau.........they didn't want the burden of his contract because no one will admit it but they were trying to start a "he's injury prone" tag on him.

As far as the Suns, is it the Lakers fault they sold off draft pick after draft pick because of the naive ego of D'Antoni thinking his system of chuckin in 7 seconds or less was going to win a title ?

I don't feel sorry for them one bit, I remember them gloating in that book. Raggin on P-Jax calling him penguin................karma has come back to bite that ass hard, deal with it Suns fans.

[Frank Lee]

Funny reading.... the animosity lives on.... even in the off season. Hate keeps us warm at night.

Good to see even Nash takin a swipe, but I see it as a subtle jab at our own Front Office as well.

[Danny Darko]

Ok, Suns fans.... not all but some of your are out of line and clearly the lakers posters are egging you on. I understand why you'd be interested in our board and I don't think this is so important that we need a flame war over it or to get into suspensions, hard feeling, etc...

Please also understand that you get the privilege of talking smack on your home board in a way you don't on other teams boards.

so I'm locking this thread.

EE reopen if you feel it should be.

[Erik Eleven]

Yeah, I think we're about done with this subject.
