Nash and Childress

[Nikolokolus]

Bump.

We need Nash dammit! Hell let's throw in Wallace and Matthews for Nash and Childress. We need a perimeter leader and floor general.

You're getting warmer.

 

[mook]

I so want to see Nash and Aldridge on the same team. It's killing me. If we can do a deal without losing Batum, man oh man.

We'd have two starters with 24 PERs. When your team can say that, you are generally a contender.

I would give up so much to make it happen. Matthews, Felton and Babbit for Nash and Childress or Wallace, Matthews, Felton for Nash, Childress and over-the-Hill.

 

[magnifier661]

Revised my offer.

Nash, Childress and (keep it weird PDX) Frye for Felton, Matthews and Wallace.

New starting core: PG: Nash, SG: Crawford, SF: Batum, PF: Aldridge, Center: Camby

Key bench players: PG: Nolan Smith / Crawford, SG: E. Will, SF: Childress / Babbit, PF: Frye / Rhino, Center: Thomas / Frye

Our front court bench would really, really suck. But then it seems like it always has been the case on Steve Nash teams. You run up the score when he's in for 30 minutes, and you try to not killed too badly when he sits for 18.

We'd probably have to throw in youngsters and/or picks. And really, I'd be ok with doing that and signing on scrubs like Patty Mills (ugh) or whoever is currently killing in the D-league or some vets at the minimum.

We've already had shitty draft after shitty draft, and a team with Aldridge and Nash are going to draft in the 20's anyway, meaning likely another shitty draft. (Hell, we might be able to buy the pick right back from Phoenix. They've sold us picks like that twice before.)

I wish Oden somehow can come back and be relevant. He would go ape shit with a Nash lead team.

Steve Nash might get us to the playoffs, but the what?

Picks are going to be tough, because our 2013 pick is already committed to Charlotte, which invokes the Stepien rule about not trading first round picks in consecutive years; we'd have to somehow get a third team involved.

Basically a friend of Steve Nash said that Nash requested a trade.

Revision #5,000,000

Nash, Childress, Melo, Crawchuck, Wallace

I used Matthews because it's the same contract as Crawchuck, so it would work out in Trade Machine. Let's send Crawford and Wallace to New York and get Nash and Childress.

Skinny of the deal.

Phoenix trades Nash and Childress. They receive Melo

New York trades Melo. They receive Wallace and Crawful

Portland trades Crawchuck and Wallace. They receive Nash and Childress.

Basically Crawchuck makes it to New York, where he really wanted to play and we get Nash and Childress. Phoenix gets a locked player that will bring in a lot of fans.

Why New York does this?

Wallace would fit perfectly with Lin and Stoudamire. Crawchuck would actually do much better in a D'Antoni system.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I think New York would at least like to see Melo with Lin once before they trade him for a 38 year old point guard.

Not sure why Portland would do that. In fact, why the hell would Portland do that trade?

Nash might leave after 30 games, and Childress has years left on his contract and he absolutely SUCKS now.

They aren't trading him for a 38 year point guard. And this deal has to happen when Crawchuck becomes available anyway.

Addition by subtraction. And we would need a guarantee by Nash first.

I would hope that a pick would be thrown our way first.

You think getting Nash and Childress for Wallace and Crawchuck warrants a pick?

 

[julius]

You think getting Nash and Childress for Wallace and Crawchuck warrants a pick?

yes. Childress contract is bad (especially for how shitty he is) and they end up getting (by far) the best player in the bunch.

Oh, sorry, guess I should have kept reading. I didn't see the word $#P&ort#@$@lan$d anywhere though.

 

[magnifier661]

Yep they get the best player; which is why I think they jump on it. Maybe we could pry a pick from Phoenix. I just don't know if they would give us a first rounder; especially being as bad as they are. How about New York's 2nd rounder and Phoenix's 2nd rounder? I doubt either team will give us their 1st.

I know right. Remember I said "I don't know how credible this is"? Just relaying the tweet.

 

[BBert]

They can say whatever they want publicly, but I have a feeling Nash is not long for the Suns.

I would venture a safe guess that NY would want a pick too.

You gotta admit that trading Melo for Wallace and Crawchuck would actually be addition by subtraction. They may even fight for contention in the East. Wallace would be perfect against Miami Heat with Wallace guarding him. That team would be all "team defense" and Wallace doesn't really need coaching to play good D; he's crash man!

New York line up of: Lin, Crawchuck, Wallace, Amare and Chandler instantly becomes one of the best defensive starting 5's in the league IMO.

New York gutted their entire team to get Carmelo Anthony. Even if it made sense basketball wise, they aren't going to make a trade that ships him out halfway into his second season.
