    We're kicking LA out of the deal, trading Felton and Crawford for Beasley and Ridnour.

    The worst part of it would be, essentially helping the Lakers trade Steve Blake for Michael Beasely. I'd rather have Beasley on our team as a backup or something....bring back the jailblazers!

    Beasley does have a QO next year of 8 mil though.....

    Steve Nash is "good" and wants to come play here.

    The fact someone agrees with this tells you how far JC and Felton have fallen. Id now be okay with this deal.

    So he's motivated to win a title right now. And certainly capable of doing so.

    As we all should realize now, puting too much stock on the potential years a player may still be productive or remain non-injured is a crap shoot at best.

    Sign players for their talent and competiveness, period.

    And in better shape than any player we currently have on our team.

    Alex Kennedy: The Lakers, Timberwolves and Blazers are still discussing the three-team deal involving Michael Beasley, Jamal Crawford and Steve Blake. about 10 minutes ago

    Read more: http://hoopshype.com/twitter/media.html#ixzz1p9SpyyP3

    Is it sad that when I see this, one player is by far the worst on this list, and he's the one we get in return?

    Pisses me off. We waited too long with Nash. We could've gotten him for Batum and he immediately would've solved all our problems on offense. Tonight, we had 5 assists and 17 turnovers in the first half. That doesn't happen with Nash. But noooooooo so many of you wanted to keep Batum. What a joke.

    How so? He's a line, or a very elongated rectangle. I like circles. So Felton fits that bill!

    And next year (or two) since Blake is under contract.

    Christ that's such bullshit. Nothing is going to get fixed until this team replaces the coach and probably cleans out the dry rot at the top of the ladder (Miller and Allen himself).

    when was this? i know this season almost everyone here would have gladly traded batum for nash if nash signed an extension. the fear was giving up batum for a 1/2 season rental.

    I wouldn't have. Nash wouldn't have made a big enough difference to be worth giving up our best young player for.
