Steve Nash is allowing the Knicks time to create a sign-and-trade deal that would be acceptable to the Suns while also getting him a higher salary, according to a source.
Landry Fields was one player Phoenix was known to have interest in, but he agreed to a $20 million, three-year offer sheet with the Raptors on Tuesday that takes him out of the running.
Toronto has a three-year, $36 million offer on the table to Nash.

Sounds like Nash wants NY, and Shumpert would probably be the guy to go.
Goodbye iman shumpert & jeremy lin. Nash goes down with a career ending injury and toney douglas is our pg again.
Nicely done Brooklyn
this 'deal' would have to get VERY creative, i'm guessing, for the knicks to figure this out.
this could mean shump is gone.

Why good-bye Lin? He's a cash cow, no way Dolan lets him go. He is resigned at 4 years-40 million and starts at SG while playing a majority of minutes at PG when Nash isn't on the floor. Knicks back them up with a pair of SGs off the bench starting with JR Smith. Seems reasonable enough.
Nash would REALLY have to take a pay cut.
This could really stink. Lakers pursuing Nash now. I would rather be went there then lose shump or lin
Dolan doing what he does best
Knicks trading for ancient Steve Nash? My signature STILL holds true.
If the Knicks keep Lin, I'd understand trading an injured Shumpert. The teams in win now mode and you could get a catch and shoot guy for the minimum.
Nets really f'd up Dolans head. I said take away his bottle of Jack!

Lin is not a cow.
Nash is ancient. Knicks can't keep making other game execs of the year. Hopefully grunwald has the juice to stop this.
If Lin is a cow, what does that make Nash? Elephant?

a sire
Please Dolan, Please Glen, don't give up Shumpert. I justtt got the jersey
I love shump. But he has a big ? in front of him. He is hurt, and was somewhat fragile during the season.
great defender, but can he last a season?
our window is small, and lines up with Nash.

I think the big question is there with Nash as well. Guy is going to be 39on his next b-day. He is on borrowed time already career wise no matter what he eats.shump is already one of the best defenders in the MBA. You can't give up on that to chase the dream that you got a the first guy ever that defied father time. Nash would need to give the Knicks 4-5 years at a high level to be worth shump.
I'd honestly rather have the combo of Kidd and Shumpert, than just having Nash for a few years. Lin can get just as much wisdom and whatnot from Kidd as he would from Nash

on what planet was grunwald not one of the best GMs in the game last year? Tyson? Lin? Shumpert? Novak? JR Smith? Jorts?
ppppffffft
He did not draft Shumpert and Jorts.

he was working for the knicks when they were drafted and took over the interim role like 8 days after the draft. also, two months before the draft everyone on the team knew donnie wouldn't be back.
you really think he wasn't leading the draft last year? ok.
