The Truth Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Phoenix is currently eleventh in the west and all signs point to them not making the playoffs this year. with one year left on his contract after this season, would you trade Steve Nash?

ChosenOne Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yes without a doubt they should trade Nash. What I dont understand is why are they not involved with the Nuggets and Nets right now. Nets have alot to offer in terms of youth and Melo wants stars around him so they can win right now who better to pass the ball to Melo and Lopez than Nash?

The Truth Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 but I don't think any of those teams have anyone that would interest Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Well I'm sure the Suns do like Favors, but other than him I'm not too sure. We could take in Kenyon Martin's contract for the Nuggets... but I doubt the Nets or Nuggets would be interested in Nash as the Nuggets are trying to rebuild and the Nets are getting Billups. From a Suns' fan point of view... I'll be honest, I think right now the Suns are best to get rid of Nash. If we wait, he'll only get older which makes things harder in terms of trading. I'd rather trade him now for a young power-forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I don't think Dragic is ready...but keeping Nash won't solve the problem either. If the right offer comes along, I think the Suns should pull the trigger. Let Nash and Hill make one last run at a Championship while continue to rebuild without them.

If the right offer comes along, I think the Suns should pull the trigger. Let Nash and Hill make one last run at a Championship while continue to rebuild without them.Dragic turns 25 in a few months. that makes him at least a couple years older than guys like Evans, Curry, and Rose.

Newman Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 ^Do you think Dragic can control a team as well as guys like Curry and Rose though? He has only 3 years of experience in the NBA nevertheless and given that the Suns had been looking for their identity in almost two of those years it is hard to say whether Dragic can control a team for 30+ minutes as of now.

I don't see a problem with starting him when he has three years of experience playing behind Nash and he's already almost 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I think Dragic is still trying to find his niche though, same for the Suns. He is a good sparkplug off the bench but I don't think he can lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) While I don't think Dragic is really a long term solution as a starting point for the Phoenix Suns (his numbers are barely even mediocre this year), it makes too much sense for both Steve Nash, as well as the Suns organization, to part ways. If I am the Suns I am not really looking for pieces in return as much as I am for teams to take on the likes of Childress, Dudley, Frye, Warrick, etc. The Suns are right in that dreaded treadmill area, they aren't good enough to make the playoffs, but aren't bad enough to grab a really good prospect. Trading Steve Nash would establish a direction for this team and get them out of the worst position a franchise can be in, right in the late lotto. A team like Atlanta could desperately use Steve Nash. If they put him on the block I am sure a ton of teams would come knocking for him.

He is a good sparkplug off the bench but I don't think he can lead.dude, whatever bro. you make it sound like mission impossible lol. he plays 25-30 minutes and someone picks up the rest. I don't see the big deal. While I don't think Dragic is really a long term solution as a starting point for the Phoenix Suns (his numbers are barely even mediocre this year), it makes too much sense for both Steve Nash, as well as the Suns organization, to part ways.well, in all fairness, Dragic is barely averaging nineteen minutes a game this year. with more playing time and focus on defense, I think he can become a fine starting point guard. If I am the Suns I am not really looking for pieces in return as much as I am for teams to take on the likes of Childress, Dudley, Frye, Warrick, etc.why should they trade Dudley? he's young and talented and has an extremely manageable contract. they should trade Hill and keep Dudley. The Suns are right in that dreaded treadmill area, they aren't good enough to make the playoffs, but aren't bad enough to grab a really good prospect. Trading Steve Nash would establish a direction for this team and get them out of the worst position a franchise can be in, right in the late lotto.that's what I'm sayin. A team like Atlanta could desperately use Steve Nash. If they put him on the block I am sure a ton of teams would come knocking for him.I don't think a whole lot of teams would be interested in Nash because a lot of them already have franchise point guards. outside of Atlanta, I can't really think of anyone who'd want Nash. obviously, the non-contenders won't be interested and most contending teams are already set at that position.

What I think Dragic needs is the oppurtunities and confidence... because I think he already has the talent to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
