<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Marquis Daniels is playing himself into a lucrative contract, Travis Best isn't sure from where his next one is coming, and Steve Nash is on the verge of opting out of his. Sounds like an interesting summer for Mavericks point guards. Nash's desire to test free agency by opting out of his contract on June 30 is a forgone conclusion. Nash has stated his preference to remain with the Mavs, and though negotiations may be sticky -- he hopes to be paid at a level commensurate with the league's top point guards -- the organization has not shown signs of wanting to part with the two-time All-Star. Nash is earning $5.75 million this season, sixth highest on the team. "When my time comes, I'm sure I'll be compensated," Nash said earlier this season. "I'm not going to worry about it."</div> Full Article =========== http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/basketball/8358427.htm?1c
I heard a statement from Nash's agent last season, talking about how Nash wanted to be paid like the elite point guard he is. If that's the case I'm assuming he's wanting at least 10 million per season. Who knows if Dallas is willing to put forth that kind of money when they have Daniels and Best to fall back on. Resigning Nash to that big money contract would easily move Dallas into that second slot in the league's highest team salary. However I did hear some rumors about Nash being interested in playing for Toronto, anyone hear anything similar?
I agree that he should get paid more money but the mavericks sre already payin for a lot of super stars. Dirk, Walker , Finley , and Jamison. Dallas doen't have enough money to pay Nash. Unless they get rid of some players. Which i hope they don't!!!!
NAsh will stay, Danielsa will back him up, and best will either be traded or will be a backup for finley.
I hope they keep nash, he is a great point guard..daniels is a great back up, but Nash runs the team. <u>KEEP NASH DALLAS! KEEP HIM!</u>
Toronto needs nash. dallas is good enough lol. give us nash. we can give u milt palacio! hes AMAZING...trust me lmao
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting ReRun:</div><div class="quote_post">NAsh will stay, Danielsa will back him up, and best will either be traded or will be a backup for finley.</div> Travis Best is a free agent this summer, It's highly unlikely Dallas even attempts to resign him. Their payroll is going to be strapped next season to say the least. They'll be well over 90 million next season which will rank them 2nd in the league behind only New York's near 100 million dollar payroll.
I think that the Mavericks should, sign and trade nash keep Daniels and get him to start and Best would be the backup.Nash is asking too much but then again its Cuban Im confused really confused whats gonna happen hear. 1) mavericks have 2 developing pointgaurds 2) They have NASHty ............. what is gonna happen?

guys ur forgetting that finley is a much better player than daniels and best. plus they might get rid of best because howard is the backup SG, and hes acctuallly done well this season.
