But those miami 1st rounders are low. I don't get why phoenix doesn't trade him to Boston. Unless Boston doesn't want him and he wants to go to a contender

He was able to perform at his best from 30-34 and only a slight dip the next 2 years. Not to say everyone can expect that since Nash is rare. Just that it has happened. Nash wasn't really depending on great athletic ability. Just high skill level and BB IQ. Also John Stockton did almost the exact same thing as Nash. Mark Jackson also was able to maintain his level of play above 30. Highly skilled PG's who stay in shape but aren't really relying on pure athletic ability to get by.
You can put my name on that list. I played my best basketball between age 27 - 33
Thats when my IQ caught up to my athleticism. For a 5 year span, there was nothing anybody could do defensively against me, unless they sent a full blown double. So I laugh when I hear people on this board saying 29 is over the hill......lol......Thats your prime.
Only for big guys that might be true, but for guards or players that handles the rock, it's far from true. But with bigs that uses all athleticism and play with a high motor, they usually struggle the most as they enter their 30's. I'm now 41 going on 42 next week. And I'm still dominating when I feel like it (basetball gets boring playing with dumb HS kids). The funny part is my body is breaking down similar to Kobe. Just had an MRI yesterday for a torn Labrum in my shoulder (shooting arm). Already had two achilles surgeries. But great players learn how to adjust their game and still be an impact player, even without jumping out of the gym. Especially if you have good instincts.
dragic to miami most likely means no dragic to knicks.
Well I guess Miami is that stupid ... Thanks Reily!!
Miami = 2014/15 Eastern Conference Champions

Lol yea right
Suns and Heat agree to Dragic deal. Dragic has a player option which he surely opts out of for a big payday. Time will tell...
Come on phil move jose!!!
It is what it is. Will be plenty of options for us in the offseason. Wesley Matthews now seems more and more likely. He fits with anyone we would potentially draft and fits the system. Even if Russell is our pick, he is likely groomed as a PG.
Butler or Matthews(Butler is a lot younger)
Greg Monroe
Towns/Ok4
Get me those guys and a solid defensive pg who can shoot a plus
granger, cole, williams + 2 #1's for both dragics lol...
