It's a good move if he's available but I don't see this as LAL trying at a championship again. This seems more like making sure they haven't done anything during FA. LAL definitely needed a pg but they also needed to improve in other areas as well like their bench.

Hey at least Knicks get to keep Shump.

I'm with you bro, we had a better chance of winning a championship or getting to the ECF with Nash than we did with Shump. He would have been good to blend our stars together.

 

[ill steelo]

Is Howard now more willing to sign an extension in LA or is Nash too old?

 

[pmatic]

@paulcoro In the Nash sign-and-trade, the #Suns will get 2013 & 2015 first-round picks and 2013 & 2014 second-round picks.

Still need a bench, and get rid of steve blake, and the other garbage we have.

We got rid of fisher because he couldnt guard a chair and now we got Nash who cant guard his own shadow... dont get it.

We are not younger, more athletic, or better...

Teams will kill the Lakers with the P&R even more SMH

 

[Humbled]

Lakers gonna be even worse on D

Co-sign.

Gonna be a frustrating season 

Hey at least we'll have Shump back for 2013 to guard a 32 year old Wade 

 

[doitallpaul]

no one wants to play for the knicks anymore?

 

[duba169]

We didn't wanna give shumpert I assume. But maybe he was told the cold weather would adversely affect him in Toronto and NYC?

I think it was more about the Suns being reluctant to S+T Nash to a rival...
CP is just gonna say he's always liked Nash just not the Suns

[osh kosh bosh]

I will say this, Steve Nash standing in a corner while Kobe pump fakes 50 times, is not going to be great either. Nor is watching Bynum moving his feet quick enough to execute a pick and roll.


The raptors at this point should be contracted.

if max money isnt being thrown around.... no.

 

[Bert.]

WOW.... Lakers

 

[acbboyz84]

Still better than rotting in Toronto.

 

[physicx]

Plan B: watch Colangelo offer Dragic a max contract now

 

[mmg]

If Nash wanted a ring that bad / warm weather shouldve taken his *%! to miami

I don't see where a player said they didn't want to do that or passed for another team. Everybody we've been pursuing either wants more money, has been traded by their teams, or hasn't made a decision yet.

 

[buc em]

If the Nets deal for D12 doesn't go through I see Bynum for Dwight, and Gasol for Iggy trades for the Lakers in the near future.
