    I will be very disappointed if we waste cap space on Steve Nash.... unless they bring in someone else as well. If they were to score a young talent like Eric Gordon or Hibbert, AND THEN sign Nash, that would be one thing.

    Exactly! I bet his mother isn't really dead. Just one more crazy PR stunt!

    Would Sloan/Nash/Aldridge work? Stockton was a much better defender than Nash ever was.

    I wouldn't have a problem with signing Nash as long as the Blazers keep both first round picks and use one of them on a PGOTF. Nash would make Batum and Aldridge so much better.

    Yes PLEASE, for LMA's sake. Steve is one guard who is guaranteed to make LaMarcus infinitely better.

    I don't know if Nash is a good way to use the cap space . .. but I know I would be looking forward to opening night all summer long.

    It just depends on who is available. Most of the decent FAs are restricted. Nash wouldn't be bad for a couple years, but we have so many holes to fill. A guy his age doesn't really solve anything.

    I have a feeling the Suns, Raptors or Nets will all offer more since they need a face to sell tickets.

    I agree with all this.

    What kind of contract will Nash command? 10 mil/yr for 3 years??????

    And I have a feeling Olshey will get Nash to choose winning in Portland with LMA

    Probably something like that.... maybe more honestly. This is probably his last contract before he retires, so he might want more.

    I hope to God Olshey is the voice of reason in not signing a senior citizen

    This. I haven't really seen a better and more realistic option.
