    Nash will make a good head coach, and even if he won't, it's our only chance to ever get rid of McMillan.

    Nash would bring something the Blazers drastically need which is shooting the long ball. But looking at Kidd play in the Finals, I was more impressed with Kidd's old man defense than his improved shooting abilities. Nash can't play defense and I'm not impressed with that, no matter how good he is.

    I would do trade for Nash in a heartbeat. Look how old the NBA champiom's PG was this year. Nash is wayyyy better than Kidd. Nash could take Crash, Matthews, Aldridge, and Oden to title if LaMarcus keeps working on his game all summer.

    I don't know if I see it. Who is our Dirk in that scenario? Who is our Jason Terry? The Mavs have a solid bench, we do not.

    Dirk = LMA
    Terry = Wes
    Then we got Crash/Oden on there asses, we got it next year with Nash!

    I would be much happier with a healthy Oden then an upgrade at PG but both would be awesome.

    POR doesn't have near enough the offensive firepower that DAL has. Need better offensive players, if this team actually wants to go anywhere in the playoffs.

    Or could the trade be for Joe Johnson and Josh Smith? Rumor has it that Atlanta would love to get rid of Joe Johnson contract and are ready to trade Josh Smith. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_yl...a_draft_062011

    Miller, Camby and Mathews for Johnson and Smith; get it done now, try to get their draft pick also and an assurance they will release Miller.

    Miller, Camby and Matthews for those two is a joke. Add Batum, and our pick, and then maybe, but still probably no from Atlanta

    link is bad, but im sure they would love to ditch johnson, only problem is they are actually winning with these guys, kinda hard to dump players when you are in the second round of the playoffs

    Well, it was just the way the columnist said they would "love" to get rid of Johnson's contract that made me think they might be amenable to a deal like that.

    OK, I'm willing to add Batum, the deal would balance our roster out better.

    At the same time, they just can't seem to get over the hump and their owner might be tired of bleeding money.

    Remember all of the rumors before KP pulled off the 6 trade draft?

    Oh, wait. Never mind.
