RT @DwainPrice: The word on the streets is that the Mavs may trade Lamar Odom to Phoenix for Steve Nash. Gets Odom closer to his home in LA.

 

Odom? LOL. So now the deal with Felton, Wallace and Babbit looks pretty good for Nash and Childress

 

bro... let it go.... its over. we arent getting nash.

 

If they are entertaining the idea of Lamar Odom, then we have a much better shot than I thought. LOL

 

ur a gluten for punishment bro

 

Why? If we don't get him, then oh well. But I will still hope until there is no hope left.

 

through Trades Maybe not, but that's fine. Would rather sign him next year and keep some talent. Him and LMA already have it planned out

 

lol.... i hope so

 

Nash had 13 points, 8 rebounds, and 17 assists tonight. He makes things so easy for Gortat. He could get some buckets for Camby and Joel!

 

Felton. He has been the most consistent player on the team.

Unfortunately, it has pretty much all been bad.

Gramps...

 

...worst defensive PG in the NBA

 

Ray Felton on Line 1...

 

I'm glad I went to the Timbers game!

 

Nash will expect 10 mil per for the next three seasons. If we trade Wallace and Felton for Nash and frye; we would still have significant space for free agency. There is no guarantee that Wallace will opt out of his contract, since his play has been so erratic this season. That would leave us on the hook for 12 mil. Frye and Nash would make a combined 15 mil next season; which is like us keeping Wallace, letting Felton go and grabbing a pg that earns 3 mil per. So realistically what's better?

 

Don't you wish we were getting Steve Nash instead of Blake? That said, I don't hate Blake as much as some of you.

 

In return for Felton? Yes, I wish we were getting Steve Nash instead of Blake.

I don't hate Blake. I hate Hitler. Blake is just a bad basketball player.

 

I really think Nash to the Mavs makes a lot of sense. He can get a ring, split time w/Kidd (who probably retires after this year) and the Mavs keep the cap space after this year to go chasing after Deron and Dwight. If Deron isn't interested then Dwight would still like to play w/Nash. ALSO, it keeps Orlando from getting him, which would maybe keep Dwight around.

However, the Mavs won't absorb an extra contract from Phoenix because of the cap space plan, I think that's why we'd be a great facilitator.

Odom, Felton to Phx
Beauboius, Frye to POR
Nash, CJohnson to Dallas

Beauboius would be great here w/Batum. Yes I know, he's not a true PG, and we have Jamal. However, I think Beaubious/Batum would be a terror on defense at 1/2 and their ballhandling together would make an adequate fit (at least in the second unit). Beauboius is probably a Crawford type of player, which is why it'd be good to also possibly have another trade for a PG, but I'm sure he'd offer more than Felton at this point.

Additionally, we could probably trade Crawford for a PG to finish out the season, or just play Nolan a bunch.

 

Nash to Dallas
Rondo to Ptd

(Problem is Nash wouldn't mind coming to Ptd and Rondo probably wants nothing to do with Ptd . . . so I'll take Nash)

 

I have a feeling we will be using Camby, Wallace, and Felton for Nash, Warrick and Childress. Problem with this trade is we won't have much for cap space this summer, unless we don't resign Nash. I am really hoping Matthews could replace Camby, so we would still have an expiring contract.
