Shmups ACL makes him tradable i think. If that didn't happen I would agree but no guarantee he is the same ever again. Id do the trade but I just don't see a reason for the Suns to do it at all

This happens if the Knicks sign and trade Jeremy Lin to Phoenix......the window is 2 years with Nash's age and the contract length of melo and stat

Do you feel lucky punk? Do you pull the trigger and put your nuts on the drumbset?

2.8
2.1
1.3
(760,000+)
6.96 X 150%= 10.44

Is it really a big deal turning down 2 mill to go to a winning team?

In the last DECADE, the 2 clubs have has similar win %'s.
Toronto went the playoff twice and lost in first round both times (3 total wins)
We've been 3 times and you know the deal (1 win... total)

We are winning now, but...

Longer it goes, the more I like our chances.
OasisBU @ 7/1/2012 10:24 PM
If this actually went down it would be huge but why would PHX take Fields who sucks for Nash who is awesome? Makes no sense but if they want to be stupid I'll take it.

I still don't see this happening.

Nash may wait until Deron commits to a team. He might even get a higher offer from Dallas or NJ if they miss out on D-Will.

Smith, which means Nash almost certainly would have to take the Knicks' taxpayer midlevel exception, which would start at $3.09 million. He'd be taking about $10 million a year less than his market value, give or take, while playing the same position as Lin, a marketing cash cow. Move along, people, nothing to see here."

This was probably written about a week ago before anyone took the time to investigate sign and trade scenarios.

We have *very* few trade assets. Shumpert and Fields basically.

I think the Knicks would include the max in cash, 3 mil?, to get a sign and trade done with Phoenix. However, even with that the Knicks can't compete with the Toronto offer.

You are right. In this scenario Phoenix would be doing Nash a favor while adding a player they like in Fields. The only other player that Phoenix would be committed to financially would be Toney Douglas, but the Knicks would also include 3M cash which would pay for TD with 1M to spare.

Because Nash might leave anyway. If Nash leaves and Phoenix covets Fields at least a little, why not facilitate a sign and trade to the Knicks? Both parties would be helped.

Thats right, i think some people dont realize that a sign and trade is different than an actual trade

What do u guys feel about Camby coming back. He mentioned the Knicks as 1 of 5 teams he would play for. i love Camby and wish we never traded him. I guess are only chance is the vet min though.It would really piss me off if he ended up in Miami

I saw that. According to Ianzonne Knicks were in contact with his agent today. I would love to have Camby back.

If Grunwald can get Nash and Camby then I will give him the ultimate praise.
