    Article don't say nothing about him leaving. Just bringing up 2010, which is pretty obvious he will leave the Suns then.

    Steve Kerr has been a terrible GM so far. Terry Porter just does not look/talk/act like a coach. I don't know what happened to this franchise.

    I did like the JRich trade for them though.

    Like I said last year, Kerr has no business being a GM, much less a TV analyst. Guy is absolutely garbage. Good job blowing up a team in a little over a season. Without Nash, the Suns are a lottery bound team.

    Asides from signing Barnes on the cheap, Kerr hasn't done much good.

    Will not happen before the summer. If it does, Steve Kerr is deliberately sabotaging the Suns.

    Steve Nash is just a shadow of his old self. He is declining and getting old.

    Why would the Rockets sign him when we already have a few.

    Because Nash at "just a shadow of his old self" and "declining and getting old" is still better than all of our PGs put together times 10.

    Well said A_3PO. At least Nash can still pass and play make and go to the line thats good enough for me in a declining PG.

    Man I would kill to get Nash here. He is one of the few guys I would actually give up Tmac for. If Morey could somehow swing this, I would be blown away.

    Nash would not be as effective in Houston as would think. Nash excels in a fast paced offense and Yao is a slow caterpillar. Nash would be the primary play maker in a half court set, and we all know how effective T-mac is as a play maker in a half court set. So giving up Tmac for Nash might be a backwards move.

    Suppose we were to trade Tmac for Nash/Barbosa. Our inside/outside game would flourish with better outside shooting. Think of how many outside shots Tmac and Rafer miss. Barbosa and Nash are both terrific shooters. You may disagree but I think its a slight downgrade at SG, but a huge upgrade at PG. Don't get me wrong I am not a huge proponent of moving McGrady, but I think this would help out team be more balanced.

    Rafer + Battier for Nash works too.

    I don't know about the backwards move.

    It gives me goose bumps to imagine Nash and Yao PNR, Nash feeding Yao entry pass. Do you realize that can be the most lethal offensive set in the entire NBA, I don't see how it can be stopped.

    Sun could ask anybody on our team outside Yao and Tmac for Nash, if I were Morey. But my bottom line is probably Tmac could go for Nash.

    T-Mac for Nash is the worst idea ever. Nash can't play our style of offense. And Suns would benefit from that with Richardson, Amare, T-Mac, and Shaq.

    I say the opposite. Because his aging, Nash should play in our system to exploit his passing, vision, and shooting. Quick pace game doesn't suit him as well as a couple years ago. I say Nash would find the fountain of youth if he can come here, just like Deke.
