Free Steve Nash

by Suns R Us on Jan 28, 2012 3:47 PM MST

I'm sorry my fellow Suns fans, but I think this has gone too far. I have decided to join the Free Steve Nash movement. We can put of trading Nash and thinking he will help bring big name FA's to the Suns, but that is just wishful thinking, when in reality the only free agents worth looking at are an injured Eric Gordon, Wilson Chandler, and, yes, Steve Nash.

We are in a similar situation with Nash as we are with Amare. Nash's stance of staying with the Suns has changed over time, first it was the "I want to play 3 more years here", then it was "I am committed to signing an extension here" now it's the "I am 100 % commited to the Suns AT THIS TIME".

I realize many of you are Suns fans because of their up tempo style of offense and the playmaking of Nash, but I've been a Suns fan forever. I've been a Suns fan through the terrible Penny and Marbury years and the even worse 2003-2004 29 win season. I love Steve Nash, but I'm a Suns fan first, then a Nash fan. Trading Steve Nash is the best option for the team moving forward. We aren't going to sign Dwight Howard in the offseason and him and Nash will dominate the league. We're probably going to sign J.R. Smith and have the F.O. claim he can provide the same amount of production as Jason Richardson, while going on to another .400 mediocre year.

The Suns will be terrible after they trade Nash, more terrible than they are right now, but it is the right move for the future. I know many of you will not watch the Suns after trading Nash, that's fine, you can go be a Nash fan in New York, but I'll stay here and be a Suns fan. The Steve Nash era is over, he can't be the savior with crap around him anymore and the only way to get good players around him is to make a trade, too bad Gortat and Nash are our only valuable trade assets. It's like asking Jason Kidd to lead the Mavs without Dirk, it's just not possible. Also, keep in mind there is no guarantee Nash re-signs here. He can pull the whole "I want one last shot to win" and sign with the Knicks, leaving us with a 1 page ad in the Arizona Republic. Why let the Suns and Nash suffer through this losing, it's time to put Nash and the Suns out of their misery (not literally, okay maybe).

No point in trading him

Their are NO contenders that want him. And if hes gonna play for a shitty team it might as well be us. Not orlando not portland. The only team that might want him are la and the knicks both with nothing to offer. free steve nash? How bout free yourself from the delusion that hell bring back value in a trade. He is only worth so much to us because hes the central cog on our team. To another team thays not built around him hes just a vet pg.
We draft sign FA’s and if he doesnt wanna stick around then adios. But a contract is a contract. Nobody is hostage here. Not us or him.

Knicks

Shumpert, Fields + Filler. They have stuff to offer. Felton is doing poorly in Portland, I don’t see why they wouldn’t want him, and Nelson is doing horrible in Orlando, plus they want to have a good season to keep Dwight.

Delusional

Wow felton having a bad season on his new team. Who isnt struggling but they still are top in the west despite his early one struggles.
New york will not give that up for 1 guy. They would just wait till FA. They arent gonna trade what few players they have left after they gave up their ehole team for melo.
Thryve already said they want nash in FA.
And do you really think dhoward will stay because of nash? If he thought that nash would get him a rim he would have phoenix as his destination. And jameer sucks ass anyway. Id rather wait for aaron brooks then have nelson. only way a nash trade works is if we scrap the Entire team for draft picks and start anew. if nash goes then blow it up. I dont want garbage back just picks and only picks.

Felton did way better in NY and DEN and it was his first time playing for them too.

And the Knicks would give that up if we added Lopez. I’m not saying Dwight will stay because of Nash, I’m saying Nash could help ORL go deep in the playoffs, then Howard might stay.

if the suns start talking, some1 will step up to the plate

another team ive been thinking of the last couple years.. atlanta, a deal involving teague if they think they can win it now with nash, which i think they would become a contender….
heres another dark horse, what about if nash were traded to the spurs? maybe indiana? You really cant say any team wont trade for nash because they dont have anything we want, because u can always find some third party trying to dump contracts, or take on contracts or whatever

Go look at Blazersedge.com right now...100% agreement with Hollinger.

that the Blazers should trade for Nash and give up Felton, young talent and/or picks. We feel that with Nash’s brilliance, this team could contend this year.

Why free somebody who's not even being held captive?

The man doesn’t want to leave and shows no sign of wanting to leave. No more need be said.

Just because Steve Nash has that "dirty hipster" look doesn't mean he's in need of a shower. Steve Nash bathes in the tears of his victims on a nightly basis.

Sure, he won't want to leave

as long as we’re paying him more than any team even imagines paying him.

Don't you doubters understand?

You wouldn’t get anything trade wise for him. What you get for him is being worse than mediocre, which increases our chance of scoring in the lottery. This is where the value of trading Steve Nash is
