Whatever you wantnto say about Nash, he always busts tail, from setting screens to playing defense with what he has. And he doesn't forget anything.

If only he brought along the PHX medical staff with him.

Oh... and the fountain of youth!

The only thing I hope for is that they guy can simply play out the last year of his career. Can't dislike the guy, but he does remind me of how the Lakers have fallen.

Hated Nash. Then respected Nash. Then loved Nash. It's all good when it comes to Nash. He played the right way. You can't beat time.

Nash is a class act, he just happens to be old and basically over the hill. The Lakers should of never given 2 first round picks for him, however, that is not Steve's fault.

A class act for his career other than the end of it when he should have retired rather than fleece the Lakers for almost $10m a year.

I hope Nash can play 18-20 minutes off the bench and 60-65 games next year.

He showed that he is still an effective player last season when healthy but its just a matter of how often his body will let him play.

At the very least he will be valuable as a mentor to our young point guards and his expiring contract is a trade asset.

Hopefully, he at least tries to earn some of his big salary by being a de facto assistant coach/mentor for all our young PGs.

Nash was a reactionary move post Dan Gilbert's and David Stern's CP3 team-up and block. I really can't hate the move when put in it's proper historical context...

Yes, because you would've left 9 million on the table. Sure buddy.

My friend has a conspiracy theory that PHX sent D'antoni and Nash to the Lakers to sabotage our organization. I think it's true.

If you look at this upcoming season's PG position, I would rate it as fairly decent:

Lin/Nash/Marshall/Clarkson

Not bad at all. Lin will be terrific for us this year so the pressure is off Nash. If he can come in and lead the bench with some consistent play that would be great.

Ummm... no.

You probably should have kept that to yourself. Now people won't take you seriously.

I just want the Steve Nash thing to be over.

It's bad enough that he won his MVPs during the dress code rehab the league years. Now he's just robbed the team of picks and given nothing.

I'm not saying that with any contempt. I like the dude. Nice and smart guy. Just done as an NBA player. It is what it is.

No...No...No... and a thousand times no. I'm sorry LG but we have to face the reality that is Steve Nash. He's done! He is (until retired) a great player, one of the best PG's to ever play the game, but he's to frail now. He might keep his body in shape, but it's not enough for the rigors of an NBA basketball season. I would have loved for him to have shown some flashes of the Phoenix Nash especially when Coward was on the team, who knows maybe it would have changed his mind. In theory I believe it's a pipe dream for us to even consider anything remotely close to what he once was, why else would we have signed Jeremy Lin?

Let's put Nash behind us and look towards a future for this Lakers team...

I don't believe Lin is the answer for the Lakers, but it's a start in the right direction.

Nash can help us....

- 15 minutes a game would be great
- helping Lin develop even more
- Great expiring contract at the trade deadline if there is a good deal to be had

I really hope, for his sake, that Nash can have a mostly healthy season and get to contribute.
