    This is the kind of short sighted deal that cripple franchises into mediocrity. Taking on that much salary in the hopes that Nash extends (and hell, plays well in his extension) is like going all in with a pair of twos with 8 other people. Sure, there's a chance it works, but most likely you're just gambling away 1-2 years of your team.

    Your right but I have a feeling this is going to happen.

    If we don't move fast, the Suns will pass us in the standings (they're only 1 game back) and Steve Nash will lose interest.

    If they're only 1 game back they better keep him for the playoff race of their own.

    That's what I'm saying. Nash will lose interest in PDX, but the fact does remain that he'd have more talent to play with in Portland. He doesn't have an All Star big man in Phoenix.

    Bump. You Batum lovers still wish we were hanging onto him instead of making a title run?

    I just remembered what I posted a year ago in a Nash thread.

    There could be two benefits--him being a player, and when he retires here, being our head coach.
