Steve Nash is a Laker

[Dan Druff]

Nash WAS a very good PG, he's not even Top 10 right now unless you find the perfect team for him to play on, and the Lakers are not it. Nash thrives in the open court creating fast break opportunities. He's a terrible one-on-one defender, has a questionable jump shot, and HE's 39! I will give you that he is excellent in the pick & Roll which could be huge with Gasol

lol questionable jump shot? He shot 53% from the field last season, and around 25% of his shots were 3's, which he shot 39% from there. He's also a genetic freak, and takes meticulous care of his body, he's less of an injury risk at 38 then many of the younger point guards who have shitty bodies (Derrick Rose, Rondo).

Problem isn't the injury risk, more of deterioration of skills at his age. Not so worried about the upcoming season (as he looked very good last season), but more about the two seasons after that. How many really effective 41-year-olds do you remember from the NBA?

I can't think of any.

true, but if anyone can it would be him, as his skill-set would, and has, translated well to aging. I still think he makes the most sense for this team now though, outside of trying to trade for Rondo. Most of the younger, quick point guards that you want might be able to "keep up" with Westbrook or Paul, but what they would cost the team as far efficiency on both ends of the floor wouldn't be worth it. Basically, I'm saying the Lakers now are better with Nash than with, say, John Wall or Brandon Jennings.

After seeing these atrocious posts, and ranking Nash at #7 I am convinced none of you have any idea what is going on in the NBA.

Fucking bath salts, all of you.

Deron Williams
Derrick Rose
Rajon Rondo

Chris Paul

Westbrook takes too many shots, Rondo is a typical n-word with no control, Rose/Deron/Paul are too young and inexperienced in playoff situations.


Parker maybe i guess. Nash is so good at adapting to different offenses and players. With the wealth of talent in LA, he will make an impact immed. He keeps in shape during offseason too playing soccer unlike the majority of the league.

So what you're saying is you like him because he's white and Tony Parker is "ok" because he's kind of white

Don't see it that way. Parker has the rings and the rest have jack shit. Rondo was rumored to be traded, so was Deron, and Paul rejected a 3 yr 60 mil extension. Just sounds to me that they are immature and couldn't handle filing in line behind Gasol Bynum and Kobe.
