    Think how much better our fast breaks will be with Nash. Remember- we ran somewhat successfully at the start of the season but we couldn't keep it up because Felton didn't have the skills or stamina to consistently do it over the course of the season. Nash can do it.

    Both of those quotes were take AFTER the trade was consummated, hardly convincing evidence that he asked to be traded to Portland when these kind of platitudes are thrown out all the time by players and agents to make it seem like the player couldn't be happier.

    By the Way, if we fire Nate too, who would be the perfect available coach for our new Nash-led team? Paul Westphal, maybe?

    Good lord. We don't run fast breaks because this team doesn't practice them. Felton was fine running the break in D'Antoni's offense and for Denver and for Charlotte ...

    He asked to be traded already though. That was all over the press. So at least he said it was a great place and he was excited. Also, Crawford decided to come here.

    Granted, we don't have time to practice them because of the compressed schedule, but why did we get worse as the season went on instead of better? Nash would fix things.

    Love the avatar. So you want to come up to Portland at the end of March with me and my girl? We might see Steve Nash at the Rose Garden! LOL

    Because, in his words, we have a "terrific situation."

    Thanks. I'm going to NY game on the 14th. Not sure I can afford to get away again to go to Portland. I need to be in town for auditions.

    Well the one thing Phoenix said is they won't trade Nash unless Nash requests a trade. And if he comes to Portland, then one would suspect he requested to be traded to Portland.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, I'm with nik...I don't see anything in that that suggests Pippen specifically wanted to go to Portland. He asked for a trade due to being unhappy in Houston, not due to having a deep desire to be in Portland.

    I don't think he was faking being happy in Portland...it was a good roster and situation. I just doubt that he specifically asked to go to Portland, and I definitely remember him expressing interest in LA before he was dealt to Portland.

    Name one player other than Aldridge that has been more consistent than Batum?
