Few Reasons Why we should Keep Nash:)

Well, as in the days of dark and ill... doubts and whispers started to emerge from the dark side of one's conscience, and the scape goat had been chosen in the name of Steve Nash...as many tried to be convinced that the sky will be ever bright and sunny again when Nash is gone.

Here i thought to put few reasons why we should let Nash to stay and retired as a Suns player.

1) Nash is still the charismatic enigma for our team in his twilight years as a basketball player, enigma is in the sense that he is still unpredictable in the way he leads us to victory, showing flashes of his past glory and make everyone look good. Charismatic in the sense he always possess an aura of delicacy in his own basketball philosophy. That means with him as a suns player, there is always a certain hopes or wishful thinking as one put it, for the team to win another classic.... With Nash gone where we get some new "talent", it will be typically predictable for a game, if we lose, we can say "give them some time" and if we win, we will say "it is starting to look great for us"... Boring

2) If my memory serve me correctly, ever since Kevin Johnson retired, there wasn't any great player who will retired as our very own legend, we have great players who came and went like Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Stoudermire etc but they never retired (or will never retired) as a suns . It will be another memory occasion when Nash finally retired as another great legend of our own.

3)Thus far , we were not a team with a "rebuild" history, every time we thought we had draft some good players, we never perform well until we trade a star player. We once have talent like Michael Finley but we need to trade him for Jason Kidd for 2 seasons of greatness, we once have Stoudermire and Marion but we need to sign Nash for almost a decade of legendary entertaining basketball. So to get rid of Nash for a draft pick will not be logical.

4)If we want to trade for a star player, we need to have good bargaining chips, players that "LOOK" good for a trade, as we know Nash is capable of making almost everyone "look" good from the outside, we should let Nash to continue "helping" others to look as a great players the way Nash made Marion, Stoudermire and Richardson loo good, Nash can made Warrick, Frye, Morris and others to raise their stats so that they can be better baits for a trade.

Last but not least, it is not always DOOM to keep Nash with us :)

I don’t think any GM can be fooled to think that Warrick and Frye can be more than what they really are-one dimensional players.

LOL

But alas..there were always loads of Truths to be told..

But how many Truths were actually True to the Truth?;-)

I said

Rubio would be better than Nash talking about next season and yeah I will stand by that. Rubio got Nash beat on durability, defense, rebounding easily next season, is on par with him as a passer and way behind in shooting but getting better.

I agree w/ this…Of course Nash is 38 and Rubio is 21 but there’s no question that 10 out of 10 teams would take Rubio over Nash if they were starting a team.

I think it's probably more like 11 out of 10.

It was only called the mildly irritated house on McDowell until I showed up.

Charisma..

if Nash was still this charismatic why is seemingly half the arena empty?

by TruthTelling on Feb 3, 2012 5:36 AM MST reply actions  

Technically, only 32% of the arena was empty for the last home game

based on

tickets sold or people actually showing up?

What about Thunder Dan??

To point number 2, I was there when Thunder Dan played his last game against the Mavericks. Sure it has been a while but it was after KJ.

I say keep Nash, just don’t pay him too much.

by TCB on Feb 3, 2012 5:41 AM MST reply actions  

Or do

I’d rather pay Nash $15 million for a single year, than pay Eric Gordon the max for 5.

We need to be smart with the next few seasons, and not waste cap space.

Its silly to imagine that Nash

is helping the franchise, or himself, for now and the rest of his career. The Suns desperately need to pull a “Nance for KJ, West and Corbin” trade rabbit out their hat if they really have any hope for the future. Nash can still win a championship, but not with Phoenix, and even on a championship caliber team, his minutes will be limited.

It’s time to let Steve go and play in a larger back yard…

I don’t get your last sentence, Nascar. I don’t understand why people want other teams to get better. Are you really a Suns fan? If so, you want Nash to get his championship here, not somewhere else.

Anyway, nice post Outsiders. I agree with it mostly. If an unbelievable package came along, I’d certainly consider it, but I don’t think that’s going to happen, and I am quite cool with him just retiring a Sun. I never want to see him put on another uniform.
