Uh, he got an infection that took him out the second half of the season. His numbers in the second half of last season continued (and got slightly better) this season until he went down. So yeah, he is a 16/7/5 player.
What team is this for?
Also, there's literally 30 rumours about where Nash is going to end up.

I find it hard to believe Nash is that much of a nationalist that he'd go join the Craptors to finish out his career

I could see it. The guy is loyal to the point where it veers into stupidity.
Hell, I feel the same, but he's already said he's not that concerned about finishing with a ring. Combine that with the fact that he's now the GM of our national team, and that we're on his supposed "short-list" with Brooklyn and Phoenix and it seems like a no-brainer at this point.
Of course I'm not saying it's a guarantee, just that I can see the signs pointing in that direction. And after how shitty this team has been these past 3/4 years, I'll take any excitement I can f'n get.

Nash to Valanciunas would be cool next year.
JV just has to not foul out going for offensive rebounds though, lol.

He had one month last year, where he average that or above. Other than that he was below 14 ppg... and since december he'd been playing 32+mpg
No, he's no where near a 16/7/5 player. He's certainly never proven it anyway.
This is like the andrea bargnani 10 game selective argument. Guy has had great spurts, but has never been able to maintain it. And he's had plenty of minutes to prove other wise.
0_o the raptors are in as bad a spot as PHX. There's very little to draw him to that team over PHX.
I wouldn't be counting on it. Brooklyn has more of a shot as his family reside there in the off season.
Nah, I want him to get a ring, but I'm not pulling this shit outta my ass, there's genuine feeling out there that we're where he might be headed.
Hell, he told Slam...
Uh, in the 38 games he started this year he averaged 16/7/5/2 while being 1a/1b with Rubio as the top defensive point guard. Post all star break last year he put up 17/7/5.
Post allstar break last year he played 22 games. In the previous 53 he was much closer to his realistic averages of 14/6/4 as a peak.
I never argued the guy was bad. He's just over valued on GAF.
why the hell would salary play... any role whatsoever at this point?

There's people saying that Nash is only interested in Portland, Toronto, and Phoenix.

There is ZERO chance Nash goes to Toronto. The only way he isn't staying in Phoenix is if the FO doesn't bring sufficient talent here this off season. We most likely won't, but that comment infers that he cares about the team being good and having growth potential sooner than later. Raptors suck even worse than the Suns (granted, we have Nash) so why would he go there? Makes absolutely no sense. People just want to grasp onto him being a Canadian native but I'm sure he cares more about the fact that he has a home in NY than that. If he doesn't stay in PHX, my money is on NY.
The rumours about nash are as bad/worse than Dwight.
If he leaves PHX, it won't be for money. It will be for talent and win now. He clearly doesn't want to join say, the heat, and just bandwagon a Chip. But he wants to be competing for a ring, not helping ticket sales.
This may sound bizzare, but indiana isn't a bad spot for him to wind up.
Nor would Portland, Grizz, NY.

This is all about the cap space. Noah, Deng, Rose and Boozer all have fat contracts and two of those guys are going to miss serious time next year and the Bulls aren't going to really "compete".
Deng is also known as a stand up guy and quite popular in Chicago and his "selfishness" to want to play in the Olympics offers the Bull's front office some limited cover to deal him as well.

Nash isn't coming to NY, I can tell you that for certain. The minute the Players Association won the Bird Rights hearing any slim glimpse of Nash to NY died. Lin will be resigned to a multiyear year so MSG can make million off stock profits and get inroads into the Asian community.
Oh yeah he's not too bad either. He's not Top 10 like some nuts were saying, but he's not terrible.

If Dallas strikes out with Deron then what do they do? The free agent class this year is extremely weak and they don't have anyone they can really trade.
Nash.
Trade some picks for Devin Harris

Mavs would be stupid to reach on anyone but Nash or Deron this year when next year's FA class is much better. Ty Lawson, Brandon Jennings, Derron Collison, Chris Paul, Jrue Holiday, Jarett Jack, Jose Calderon, and Stephen Curry are all either restricted or unrestricted free agents after next season.

lol, that's probably all he's going to fetch for us, if even that.

Parade bound today yay!!! Hopefully women are out in full force wearing next to nothing. Will post SWF pics later (for real this time since I'll be sober).
Don't get your hopes up, I'm pretty sure Wade will have a shirt on

Jack, and Jennings are horrible PGs.... Jennings can be useful in a certain system, and if Jack is your starting PG tank so hard
I dunno, but I always thought there was more to that story than was being let on.

Listening to sports radio and they are talking about Calhoun's comments about Drummond....saying he will be 'good in five years. FIVE years?! So on his second contract then. Ringing endorsement by your former coach.
LegendofJoe
Member
Yeah, I just read Calhoun's comments too. I don't think anyone was under any impression that Drummond would not take several years to develop. It was Calhoun's endorsement of Drummond as a great kid that wants to learn which caught my attention. If that's true and you combine that with his amazing physical gifts you have something you can work with.
It's a shame he is where he is developmentally though. I blame AAU coaches. There is no excuse for someone with Drummond's size and athleticism to have a complete lack of big man skills. What were they thinking?

It pretty much a lock that the Kings are trading back in the 1st if they're working out Harkless and Moutrie. I wonder who they're trading with?
Getting him pushed to the league which is about to happen. Then Drummond will give them some kickback dough and all will be well. From what I've seen I think his ceiling is deandre Jordan..that's about it.
Get paid tho

All this talk of Deng and Noah in deals amuses me. You know in the end the Bulls aren't doing a damn thing.
In case I'm wrong though, who is it the Bulls have a raging hard on for in this draft that would be available in picks 5-12? Barnes? Lamb?

You know what's funny, I feel like the Bulls could actually do something. The main reason is that this whole exercise is to cut costs. Bulls don't make trades to take in salary, they do it to relieve salary. With that said, DERRICK ROSE JEREMY LAMB FUTURE.

That's probably about right, kickback could be a lot bigger long term if they tought him better though.

Moe Harkness is a nice player. Don't hate on St. John's before Fatalah shows up.

Why would anyone take the job when you're saddled with Joe Johnson for the next half decade? I don't think anybody could possibly work miracles given that fact.
Moultrie and Harkless are the players the Kings are planning to take with the two picks they're receiving from the Rockets in exhange for #5.
