bangbang023 Veteran Posted July 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 2, 2004 Now use the money to get some defense. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/185294-nba-nash-to-phoenix/#findComment-2402838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Not many defensives threats are available via free-agents or on the trading block right now. At least, nothing worth paying top dollar (or trading) for.

At least, nothing worth paying top dollar (or trading) for. They need something. They should have done something last year. I think their window has closed by now.

Ayepecks Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Again, there really wasn't much defensive-wise then, either. They tried, too, they just worked the free agents the wrong way.

Xeonic Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Well so much for that 100 Mil. offer to Kobe...they spent most of it on Nash Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/185294-nba-nash-to-phoenix/#findComment-2405612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Only place I can see Kobe going besides the Lakers now is the Clippers... I just don't see him fitting anywhere else.

bonobozoot Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Only place I can see Kobe going besides the Lakers now is the Clippers... I just don't see him fitting anywhere else. Maybe the Spurs but I still think that he will remain with the Lakers so that Shaq can get booted out of the Lakers.

lawtai Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 yea, with nash going to the suns, kobe'll prolly be staying with the lakers.

All I can see there would be problems, IMO. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/185294-nba-nash-to-phoenix/#findComment-2407155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Hmmm, Phoenix is starting to shape up as a playoff contender. Steve Nash plays with an excellent pace and I can see Amare Stoudemire really benefitting from Nash's penetration ability and outside shooting. No way Kobe goes to San Antonio. In my opinion, out of any of the teams rumored to get him, the Spurs is the worst fit. They don't need Kobe. They already have good role players to surround Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, and that's what it takes to win championships. Kobe will most likely stay with the Lakers whether Shaq stays or not. I have a feeling they will be together next year...the breakup of the Lakers was too good to be true. Unless Shaq comes to the Warriors :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/185294-nba-nash-to-phoenix/#findComment-2414257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted July 4, 2004 Author Share Posted July 4, 2004 Eh, I have to disagree. Well, actually, I do agree, but I don't think they'll be that good. Yes, they'll be a playoff contender. A conference contender, no. I'd expect them to be around the 6th seed or so, not much higher. I can't really see Nash benefiting from this, too. It's going to take him quite a while to get used to the players there, not to mention to become friends with all of them. Nowitzki, Nash and Finley were best friends and the entire Mavericks team had amazing chemistry... I don't see that kind of chemistry happening in Phoenix, but it's possible.

ipacers Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 mavs are in trouble. Nash was the key to their offense and they suck at defense. It'll be tough to find someone to replace him Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/185294-nba-nash-to-phoenix/#findComment-2442073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be tough to find someone to replace him :blink: Nash was key? Nowitzki was the key, whether Nash fed the ball to him or not. Marquis Daniels can be a good point gaurd, Harris has been amazing in the summer league so far, and Avery Johnson (if they sign him... which it looks like they will) will bring some leadership to the team. I don't think he'll be impossible to replace... it will just take some time.
