Why would he? They are completely different situations..
Ray went from a contender to their arch rivals for less money, and his team wanted him back.
The suns never even contacted Nash with any kind of offer and were ready for him to move on to try and get a ring, knowing they would suck. He seemed kind of ticked that they never called him about staying. They also got 2 1st and 2 2nds..
They are different, no disagreement there. Nash had to go to PHX and ask them to trade him to their rival though. He was an FA and had every right to leave, but it's a bit of a harder pill to swallow for his team to facilitate him getting to their hated rival. I respect Sarver though, because he had promised Nash he would send him where he wanted to go if he should leave PHX, and he kept his word. Bawse.
Ray left and took way less dough I am sure to ringchase, but he did it on his own.
Both are crappy, but I think if you criticize one then criticize all of the ring chasers.
