Lakers get Steve Nash

Nash will receive a three-year deal in excess of $25 million, sources said, because the Suns ultimately agreed to sign-and-trade him to the Lakers, who can absorb Nash via the trade exception they created by dealing Lamar Odom to the Dallas Mavericks in December.

I think Jamison's going to the Bobcats.

Seems like Howard won't be far now.

ESPN also reporting that Grant Hill will become a likely addition with Nash coming to LA.

The alternative was Nash to Raptors for no TPE/2013 1st/2014 1st

But as a fan sometimes it's better than seeing your star go to a rival.

Greetings from a Raptor fan.

Well played Lakers. This outcome was MUCH better than him becoming a Knick. At least he can compete for a championship and the obligatory family reasons.

I can live with this and I shall be following the Lakers closely this upcoming season.

"Sources told ESPN.com that the Nash, with the New York Knicks also pressing hard to complete a similar sign-and-trade deal, was swayed to join the Lakers after a determined push from Kobe Bryant"

I guess Kobe isn't that bad of a recruiter after all.
