I KNOW! I KNOW! I KNOW the story... Steve Nash doesn't want to get traded and the suns wont trade him unless he asks for it! But...
What if the Suns were blown away with an offer that included young players, draft picks, saving money?!!? THEN WHAT HAPPENS...

^^^ Is the link that proves Portland is going hard at Steve Nash... Although it says Suns wouldn't accept an offer aroud batum , what if we got portland to take back a bad contract and throw in a pick???
I think a trade offer like this would be a hard one to deny for both teams...
Phoenix Receives : Nicolas Batum, Raymond Felton, Marcus Camby, 1st rd pick
Portland Receives: Steve Nash, Grant HIll, Channing Frye
The trade offer above give the Suns a future all star and SF of the future in Batum (23 yrs old), a decent PG in Felton (27 yrs old) who once in a running system avg 17 pts 9 ast, and they also get a mid 1st round pick in a DEEP draft.... Camby is just a throw in but has an amazing 11 mil expiring contract! The suns would then have a top 5 pick for this years draft, another pick in the 16-20 range, Nic Batum, Raymond Felton, Gortat, Kieff, Dudley, and 37 mil to spend in Free agency! All this while giving Nash and Hill a chance at a championship!
It works for Blazers because they did not extend Batum this past month for SOME reason and rather than having some team snag him away in Free AGency, thye get all star talent in return! also, Felton has played REALLY BAD this season and has been moved to the bench recently so im sure they wouldnt mind moving him and in a system like phnx, i think he could really blossom! Also, they get Channing Frye in turn of Camby who is a MUCH better offensive player/ 3 pt shooter! This would give the blazers a line up of NASH, MATHEWS, WALLACE, ALDRIDGE, FRYE with Crawford and Hill both coming off the bench!!! And if Hill decides to retire after the season, the blazers have flexibility because he's an expiring contract!
I THINK THIS TRADE WORKS FOR BOTH TEAMS! and it would give us a jumpstart in rebuilding this team with 2 awesome young players and getting rid of a bad contract...
