Is this a joke?
What is with this guy?

This upsets me more than him playing his tenth game. He could be the deciding factor in a game he plays and we end up winning.
We don't need that right now
Play with our money, play with our tank plans... 
I hate this season |

A 40 year old can't be expected to run 94 feet every 10 seconds and play defense in between. Its just not practical. |

I'm concerned about long-term health repercussions for Nash. Is it really worth it to grind out one more season given the severity of his injuries?

Seeing as how Nash said this was about money, I doubt he cares about playing another full season... or even trying. He will play just enough to earn his $9.7 mil.
That's my 2¢, anyways.

Sincere question that I will post here instead of creating another thread for. Just to save the mods from having to trouble themselves merging it.
Is Nash, due to his lack of impact and remark about not retiring for monetary reasons, going to go down as an infamous Laker? Like Dwight Howard?

I doubt that, if anything fans blame the FO more than they blame Nash. He also wanted to be here, though he wants the money too. Nash wasnt as whiny and (bleep) as Dwight. We just got him when he was all used up.

| Screw this guys..imagine if a team that picks ahead of us selects Exum, or Smart and we end up with Doug McDermott because of 1 pointless win at the end of the season. That's how close the 4-7 seeding is. |

Nash may be the only one to not know, it's over... He had a great run, time to hang up the sneakers...
I wish him well of course... |

No, Nash isn't a whiny baby who gave up in the playoffs and bailed on the Lakers. He is the opposite, a guy who has done everything he can to play up to his obligation.

That sounds very noble. So money has nothing to do with it, then?

Nash already said he wants his last pay check... Probably nothing wrong with that.
However, he's done... |

The difference between Nash and Dwight that Nash is being a little selfish but Dwight was selfish AND cowardly.

He said he wanted the money, not that it was about the money. Big difference. It was about trying to win a title and live up to his deal, which pays him the money. Hopefully I didn't butcher that.

Money isn't an issue because he is getting it no matter what.

Nash is he cost of swinging for the fences. We whiffed and now have to pay for it. But I appreciate the Lakers because we swing for the fences.

I don't get you. More importantly, I don't want to try. Believe whatever you want to. Rationalize it however you want to. I don't care.

He doesn't even have to play anymore, if it was only the money he wouldn't be trying to come back, he could just sit and collect checks |

I don't think Nash is going to add anymore wins when he gets injured every 2 quarters.

I know, you will believe what you want, even if Nash never said what you think he did.

Nash said that his statement was taken out of context. In the interview he listed many reasons why he wants to play and that was one of them. Who the hell WOULDN'T want that kind of money? Lets be real he loves the game but he obviously loves the money too. The guy has nerve issues and keeps trying to come back its not ALL about the money, it is definitely part of it. |
