Does he make us a contender?
I would love to have Nash. I do also believe that (with this shortened season) we could make a run. However, it only makes sense if we swap Felton for Nash and offer one of our youngsters and/or a pick.
If we have to give up Batum or Matthews - then I say no deal. A trade for Nash would ONLY be about this season. Everything gets blown up during the summer no matter what.
Nash is AVERAGING 15/10 on 24 PER.He gives that once every 5 games when he's not on the sidelines nursing aches and pains. This is coming from someone who is a huge Nash fan, too.
I don't think he makes us a contender and I don't see the point in getting to the playoffs to get bounced in the first round again. I say start the rookies and tank the season.
This team is in danger of being the Garnett Minnesota Timberwolves, a bad franchise with one good player who never allowed them to play bad enough to get great draft picks, so it squandered most of that good player's career. That's where we're headed if we try to tank while holding on to Aldridge. And Aldridge is special enough that I just can't see trading him away for picks.
I'd rather see us go after Nash. A lineup of Nash/Batum/Wallace/Aldridge/Camby would just be so much damned fun to watch, even if it were for only a half season.
I want to see the team retool, and that includes getting a good lottery pick this season. If the Suns would do it, I'd trade Felton, Crawford and Matthews for Nash.
We can't trade Crawford until 3/1 anyway. Felton/Matthews for Nash/Childress works, and makes sense to me. We could slide Batum into Matthews' spot, and have J-Chil as our backup 3 (rather than Babbitt).
I would do that in a heart beat. I just think Phoenix would want more.

Probably, although us taking Childress is actually a positive for Phoenix. We could always include our Babbitt and our Eurostashes.![]()
Funny I was thinking the same thing. Give them Babbitt and armon Johnson to. It works cap wise!
Are you crazy? Who would feed chalupas to all the hungry masses???
