What teams would take Steve Nash if Lakers included Randle?

[KI-DW-TT-AB]

I don't see a single team with cap space outside of Cleveland or Miami that wouldn't.

Suns being the first that would.

[KI-DW-TT-AB]

There's a ton of teams that would do that -- buy Randle for 9.7mil? Easy sell to any non-contender with cap.

We can just package Nash with rising star Marshall. Marshall is basically Jeremy Lin on steroids. That way we keep Randle. Think about it:

Lebron
Kobe
Gasol
Melo
Randle

na... nobody would that lol.

I've probably been one of the most anti-Lin figures here when that stupid jersey controversy happened and I think that comparing Marshal to Lin is utterly ridiculous.

[They_Them_Hatin]

Any team. Randle will be a beast and Nash could at least be a mentor to a young point guard. Don't see why Toronto wouldn't do it in a heartbeat. Bring Nash back home plus an upgrade at pf.

[inquisitive]

so let's say the lakers make this trade of nash and randle and lebron doesn't come...what then?

[eagles nut]

They could stretch Nash and save $6.4M. So $3.2M isn't worth moving Randle.

[BlackKnight]

I could think of 29 teams that would take Randle for Nash's contract

[dolphinatik]

If Lebron wasnt going to resign with Miami I could even see Miami taking this deal combined with whatever comp they get for losing Bron Bron

[CB-Blazer]

Lebron is not gonna play with a washed up Kobe. Melo would be stupid to do that too

He is debating on playing with a washed up Wade. I don't think that will be an issue.

[Xsy]

I would want Utah to take on Nash's contract just for his influence.

[Nolan]

Absolutely every team with cap space.

Why would the lakers ever trade randle just to get rid of an expiring nash?

If the Lakers traded Nash and Randle to a team under the cap then the Lakers wouldn't need to take back any contracts. The Lakers would now have $34 million cap space to sign LeBron and Carmelo.

Excellent. Find a way to get more to sign them and then more to put an NBA team around them and you've got a plan that works.

To answer your question, I think any teams would take Nash to get Randle. The rest of the plan I find unrealistic.

[jimmy keys]

Can the Lakers renegotiate Kobe's deal if he was open to that?

[frozt]

"Rising star Marshall" rofl. Some fans are delusional please don't take them seriously. Even though I am a Marshall fan.

[WolvesGuy14]

Could be a trade for Love.

Definitely not exactly fair value, but the Wolves at least get cap space and a young PF.

[Dupp]

Most teams.

But melo and lebron aren't signing for less money than Kobe so no chance of happening.

[doozyj]

Answer: Everyone

You win.

[sogood]

Giving up Randle just to get rid of Nash is just plain idiotic.

Can the Lakers renegotiate Kobe's deal if he was open to that?

For the millionth time. No.
