So what? He's got plenty of time to keep pushing for one. Took Dirk & Garnett 13 seasons to get their rings & then you have players like Nash who undoubtedly deserve one.

I guess he does, but when you start saying your going for not 1, not 2 not 3, not 4, not 5....and you consider that after your 30's you may not be as explosive, he may want to start winning now.

Agree about Nash, look at Malone and Stockton, doesnt mean they arent legends, but they also arent "king" or "chosen".

There are talks that if the Suns don't upgrade next season then he is done with the Suns. There were also talks if that happens he's entertaining offers from the Heat.

I also heard in ESPN radio that if Suns don't upgrade their players, he will most likely to join Heat.

If he is a un-restrict fa then wouldn't have to give them anything if he is restricted then probably a draft pick. If anything we can give them Terrell davis

If Nash is an UFA? Nothing. If it were via trade, I'd ask for Chalmers and picks...


Still, not sure going to the LeHeat would be the best place for Nash...I think he'd be a nice fit in Orlando.

Not to be bias but Nash would he a good fit for the heat with their fast pace run and gun game. Nash would be looking for a championship team and Orlando is nowhere near that right now. Dallas, Heat, or Lakers would be the best for Nash,but I think Dallas is holding out for D-will

I totally forgot about that FA part.

Nash, Wade, LeBron, and Bosh? hmmmm... I don't know how to 38-year old body is going to keep up with Wade and Bron?

Dunno if Nash would fit in that structure esp. when LeWade and LeBron like to handle the ball so much...they are essentially the PGs in that scheme.

This is not really a fantasy video game.


Still don't see it.

I totally didn't see this post before I posted mine.

I don't see Nash going back to Dallas. Lakers? I don't see Nash fitting in any of those teams.

Poor Nash, I hope he can get a ring.... If Nash joins Heat, he could be the glove #2 (G. Payton). lol.

Wade and Lebron already have problem who is going to handle the ball most of time... adding Nash could possibly make it worse.

Well, he will be back to where he belongs, bench.

Nash would fit because the heat doesn't have a game tempo pg in the pg spot. Lebron and wade mostly run the floor and chalmers is being used as another shooter. Even though he is past his prime, Nash is putting up great numbers. He would leviate the facilitator duties from Lebron and wade, setting up better shots for the team. Plus he can take the grandpa job from Juwan Howard.

Thunder are playing well they might end up being regular season champs but I don't think they will be the 2012 NBA champs. Playoffs are a different story than regular season and I'm not sold just yet.

I could totally see that working because both Wade and Lebron are versatile players that can on or off the ball. The only reason they handle the ball so much is because they are currently the best playmakers on their team, if they had a point guard that's a better playmaker which Nash is then it would be Phoenix 05-06 on steriods.

I kind of hope not, as there's no way I could wear a Nash, Miami Heat jersey here in Dallas.

I've read that Nash could serve as a 2nd string. The guy is still very quick for his age, so I think he could keep up.

Nash would do fine here with Dirk & Marion as they have great chemistry. The issue is that Dallas needs some younger blood & D-Will (and even Howard a season from now) would be great for the team.

I can not see Nash playing with the Lakers & I hope he never considers them. I can't stand Lakers fans here in Dallas because it is always California>everywhere else in the US with these people....I'd rather see Nash sign with LeHeat than play with I-pass-to-myself Bryant.

The Lakers, as I currently understand them, wouldn't think of signing Nash. They seem to have a thing against 37 y/o guards right now.

He would fit in great with Miami offensively, as he'd give them an offensive system they can rely on in half court and make use of their speed in fast breaks. Wade and Bron can get down the court faster since they don't have to dribble. He'd get open 3s all day playing with those guys too....spacing would be great.

The real problem with Nash, as it always has been, is his defense. Its not any good, nor is it gonna get any better now that he's older. Seeing that Rose and Rondo are particularly challenging, I suppose it would rely on coaching on how they align themselves. When the Lakers had to guard Celtics, Kobe would end up on Rondo and Fish on equally old Ray Allen.

BTW, sorry about those Laker fans, but I find it odd when someone from say Yankee fans or Cowboy fans complain about other premier franchises.

Man, Cowboys fans are the absolute fucking worse. We can win a game by 4 TD's & they'll still bitch about Romo or someone else if a play goes wrong.

When I was up in OKC watching the Mavs, a guy behind me called Dirk a crybaby & then complained about Durant because he had a turnover. I turned around & asked, "Are you a Cowboys fan by any chance?" "Uh, no. I like the Broncos".

We were up by 15 at one time, then we didn't show up in the second half and lose the game. These last few games have not been pretty. At least Hamilton is back.

I'll be worried if this were the case when the Bulls are sporting a full line-up. Sure, it sucks they lost...but, hey...they aren't the LeHeat who are supposed to win the next 2123 titles and go undefeated. So...cut the Bulls some slack.
