OT: Nash wants to get paid

[jlprk]

Where would Jeremy Lin be drafted in '84?

We would have taken Bowie over Lin because our scouts loved Bowie. Then Chicago would have taken Lin and won 7 championships in a row. Next, Dallas would have passed up Jordan because they had Mark Aguirre, the top 6-6 forward in the league. Then Philadelphia would have passed him up because they had the aging Julius Erving. Well, to make a long story short, I calculate Jordan would have fallen to 19th, where Portland drafted Bernard Thompson who was 6-6 and weighed 210. So Jordan had the right height to fit right into that slot. After further analysis, I find that our scouts might have been high on Thompson, so Jordan might have fallen further, costing us Randy Dunn in Round 10.

Another three years at this level, if he has it in him, will push Nash to top-3 all-time in assists and top-5 all-time in 3P field goals. Keep in mind Nash didn't crack six assists per game until his fifth year in the NBA!

The crazy thing is that Nash was 22 years old when he was drafted and didn't really dominate at the collegiate level. In today's NBA, he'd be a stretch in the first round. Throw in that he didn't hit 8 apg until he was 29, and his career has been almost unparalleled in NBA history.
