5 million a year means overpaid? Shannon brown got a 3.5 million a year deal and he is overpaid? The only overpaid guy was Ariza.

I'd feel much more comfortable with Ramon backing up Nash than Blake. Oh well.

The more I think about Nash being a 38 year old pg with chronic back issues playing around 30-32mpg, the more I cringe that Steve Blake is going to be his back up that will probably take the remainding 16-18 mpg. Sessions would have been perfect, I would name my child Mitch if he managed to make a trade to trade Steve Blake+(Goudlock/whatever bench scrub Charlotte may want) for Ramon Sessions. I felt very comfortable with sessions running our offense, and feel as if with his speed, driving ability, and overall skillset would have been great wonders for us. To have a pg come off the bench and switch the tempo of the game is exactly what puts teams over the top, back in 2011 Dallas had it with Jason Kidd and Barea. Barea would come off the bench and change the tempo for the entire dallas maverics with his speed/quickness. Mitch do your magic ! I realize im just nitpicking, however Im just trying to reduce our chances of possibly failing this season. If Steve Nash misses games due to injury and steve blake is pushed into our starting lineup, that just seems like a really bad situation because Blake is not a good fit for this team, never has been and I dont expect a breakout season from a dude who only sits behind the 3pt line and shoots 3's. As a laker fan I am trying to take a realistic approach to this as well, because at Nash's age, no one should expect him to play all 82 games this season.

Never will happen. Having said that, only want Sessions back to troll Jetset.

Sessions is obviously better than Blake although they both are not very good.

I don't think our backup PG is on the roster...

this only applies to Ariza, Sess did want more money but he saw the writing on the wall after we got Nash that he was no longer an option here. Mgmt. didn't want Shannon back, 3.5mill/yr isn't overpaid for a player like Shannon.
