Looking at this article Simmons says that 28-49 on his trade value rankings are worth ¢.50, or his "Borderline All-Stars, former All-Stars, and up-and-comers" value.
So we'd need to put together some sort of package around that value. Anderson is the only player we have that fits that bill, and I'm not sure I want to trade him for Nash. Nelson, Hedo and JRich have been in this category before but are currently not playing near there. Maybe the Suns bite on them giving them some of their old production and pull the trigger as a favor to Nash?

Bill Simmons is the man. Take that grief back.

This is the same scenario I played with last night as well. Sucks giving away another draft pick to the suns.
As for Smith, he'd be nyce here; but if we can get Nash, JRich will put up 20+ pts again. I'd surely prefer younger legs but is the attitude & possible friction with SVG worth losing the JRich production with Nash?

Why not let JR come off the bench and be our big time 6th man since we would lose Meer & JJ in this trade scenario.
Nash
JRich
Hedo
Ryno
Dwight
JR
BBD
Q
As 3 main guys off bench

I think his talents would flourish next to Nash & Dwight but I'm a bit concerned with his maturity level. And we don't exactly have strong personalities in the locker room to tame him.

If this exact situation played out we'd have Nash on the team, maybe he would "tame" him.

Nobody feels sorry for [Deron Williams] because he ruined the last year of Jerry Sloan's career, and for that he remains in NBA Purgatory - at least until he signs with Dallas this summer. We're all supposed to pretend this might not happen even though it's a bigger summer lock than Michael Phelps winning a gold medal. I haven't talked to one person "In the Know" who isn't 100 percent convinced that Dallas is getting him. But let's all keep pretending this isn't true.
"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

So obviously this is huge with regards with Howard and the Magic.
