Steve Nash: Trade to Portland would be a "terrific situation"

Is there anyway we can do some sort of Twitter campaign that will catch management's attention?

 

Um, I doubt it. Felton thrived in a Suns-like system, and he is at least an NBA player, which neither of the others obviously is. PLUS, he's a largish expiring contract, and they can offload Childress on us that way.

 

I'll give up Batum for Nash and a chance to win it all this year.

 

Nash/Matthews/Crash/Aldridge/Camby contends this year if no injuries.

 

I'd trade Failton & Crawlful for him. But I wouldn't toss in our first round pick.

 

...and when that doesn't work out.

 

What would Nash obsessively tuck behind his ears if he had a haircut?

 

Don't be silly.

 

For the second round of the playoffs? Maybe?

 

This fanbase would go nuts if we landed Nash. But, we aint getting shit in trades without a GM. Seriously, we don't have a Whitsitt type wheeler dealer right now. We have about 3-4 d-bags calling the shots on speaker phones.

 

Sounds like they want to get rid of bad contracts

Steve Nash? It’s been said a couple of times that Howard’s camp has asked the Magic to pursue specific players and it’s being reported that Phoenix’s Steve Nash is the latest name added to the list.

Nash told reporters last night he understood he could be traded before the March 15th trade deadline, but was again clear he is not asking for a trade and feels it would be disrespectful to his teammates he loves to jump ship now.

Suns sources continue to say they would do a new two-year deal for Nash which is likely why he is staying so loyal, however it is clear that Orlando and several other teams including the Portland Trail Blazers have eyes for Nash.

League sources speculated that any deal involving Nash would have to send out at least two unfavorable Phoenix contracts – Hakim Warrick, Channing Frye and or Josh Childress come to mind.

The Magic’s best trade assets are J.J Redick and Ryan Anderson. The question remains would Orlando really trade Anderson, as it seems he would have to be the center piece of any deal involving Nash who is in the final year of his deal worth $11.6 million.

 

Okay, if the Suns really want to dump salary, how about this:

Nash, Frye, Childress and Warrick for Wallace, Camby and Felton. (And we'd have to waive somebody else. Joel, probably!)

Would you do it? I bet the Suns would take it seriously. It would totally fuck up our cap space for years to come.

(I would gladly substitute Wes and Oden for Wallace. Maybe they could throw in Robin Lopez if we include the rights to Oden.)

 

I'd love Channing back here. Not interested in Childress, but Warrick is serveiceable as well. Or, if they considered Dudley a bad deal, would not mind at all.\

 

I think they would take that as well. But like you said it would fuck up our cap space. But it would get it done

 

Biggest issue I can see is, if you're making a win now move of adding Nash, it's not all that great to then move Camby in the deal. Joel gonna go from not playing to being our starting C?

 

In that situation, what else could he have said?

 

Been wanting to hear this all season. We can take frye and Childress for Wallace. Then we would offer Felton and Matthews for Nash.

And to be perfectly honest, it's worth it!

 

Taking on Childress would be a real blow to our FA prospects this summer. I don't see us being any more than a first round exit even with Nash, so I don't think it's worth it.

 

agreed. Plus, all he said was we had a terrific situation, not that being traded here would be a terrific situation. Big difference.
