He averaged 12 ppg on 50ish% shooting on a team that had no 20 point scorer last year and he'll somehow take shots away from Kobe for his own? rofl | ||

Those are decent numbers. And he's giving Kobe shots, not taking them. That's the point of having Nash in the first place. | ||

Considering how much he's hated everything sun-related these years, still wanted to get Nash onboard. Guess he really, really want that last ring....Almost as much as Nash wants his first lol | ||

You could put him on any team and he'd make them better. He'll everyone on that team better looks and the fact he's still such a good shooter give Kobe more space to operate on the perimeter. | ||

Most Lakers fans I know have always respected Nash, although they (like many other non-Lakers fans) questioned his second MVP award. I'm not surprised to hear that Kobe respects Nash and his game, and I don't see a massive shift in how Lakers fans see Nash being necessary. How can you hate the guy really? It's a competitive rivalry more so than it is bad blood. As far as I know the Suns have a healthy respect for Kobe Bryant and the Lakers and the feeling is mutual. Alvin Gentry and Kobe Bryant have appeared nothing if not friendly with each other every time I've seen them, same is also true of Grant Hill and Kobe who've been matched up with each other for years now. | ||

What's next Alex Rodriguez to the Rockies? Also it will be cool to watch Nash with a solid team around him. | ||

I also remember Kobe trying to "recruit" Raja Bell when he was a free agent. He did the same with Shane Battier the previous offseason and he probably did the same with Artest. | ||

With a guy like Steve Nash, that's not something you have to worry about. sure he's a defensive liability, but you're surrounding him now with 4 other great defensive players something he didn't really have in Phoenix. I think it's something the Lakers can live with. I mean.... pick and roll with Nash, Kobe and Bynum? It's a terrifying prospect. I am so excited. | ||
