We must get Nash.

Bell was just fluff to make it work. Childress is also fluff. The only thing that matters here is that we get a PG that can help our young core win.
Mind if I laugh in your face? I can if you want.

My apologies, you are right, we must focus on the task at hand!
I personally wouldn't want Steve Nash considering he will bail in one year, and doesn't have anyone really to mentor at the PG position.

I would much rather have Rondo over Nash. He would bring some added toughness to the squad, and I believe he wouldn't be that much of a drop-off as a distributor. He would also be a more long term solution then Nash.

And if there is no season then what we just traded our two best trade pieces for Childress!

That's about the only real trade I could get to work. (I suck at the trade machine, so it's probably wrong) I doubt the C's are interested. On the flip side, how could PHX not be interested in my offer?

I think Phoenix would jump on your offer in a heartbeat. I just don't think the Jazz would, or should, give up Millsap for a one and done player.

Throwing in a "realistic" trade for Rondo. We would have to give up Harris and Millsap for Rondo and Ray Allen. Then in order to get the Celtics to bite on the trade we would have to buy out Ray Allens contract in which he would re-sign with the Celts at the vet minimum. In essence we would give up Harris,Millsap, and about ten million dollars for Rondo
I think the Celts might do this, but I think this option would cost the Jazz too much money for an upgrade at the Point Guard position. The Jazz would likely give Devin Harris another year to prove himself... Devin Harris might still have some upside.

As it stands right now there is not a realistic trade with the celtics that could work, but my point to the whole argument is that Millsap and Harris should be used on a player that could give us a long term solution at either point guard or small forward, and not a one time shot at the playoffs!!
He wouldn't be one and done. Again, he's a man of good character and has proven it throughout his career. He would stay. Judging by the way he plays and practices, I think it's very reasonable to say that he's got at least two solid NBA seasons left.

you're right. This is impeccable timing. So, Nash can teach Kanter, Favors, Hayward, and Burks how to shave, then retire. It's a perfect plan for the best manicured team in the league.

I'd love to get Nash, but he'd have to sign an extension which he won't. But it would be sweet if there was a franchise tag and we could hold him hostage.
I'm curious as to what you would do? Just stay the way we are? As of today, we've got eight guys that play the 4/5. Surplus much? I happen to think that our absurdly young core of guys could REALLY use some REAL veteran leadership. *caugh, Raja* The dividends would be paid for years after Nash's retirement. Buy hey, I'm sure Raja and Devin are the perfect guys to take this team all the way, baby.
It's true, I rarely post over here because 99% of the time, you all know more than I. I just happen to be correct this time, and you are -- shockingly -- still an obnoxious twit.

If Nash did sign an extension and we did have him for a couple of years after the lockout, I still don't do this trade.
I love Nash he has been my favorite non-Jazz player for the past 7 years, but last year he started to miss games due to reoccurring injuries near the end of the season.
These were important games for Phoenix since they were still in the playoff race.
I just don't see Nash being reliable for two more years, especially if there is a lockout and he doesn't play for us until he is 39!

I'd keep Millsap
I'd trade Harris and Bell to Portland for Miller and Matthews. I've said this almost a dozen times now. Welcome to the board.
oh... and, um, Steve Nash is old as hell and we're not even close to being contenders.

Welcome indeed, you freaking clod. Might be a good idea to pull the chub out of your eye, turn off the kiddie-porn, and try thinking before you speak. Novel concept, I know.
Also, the Mathews boat has sailed. Get over it.

Miller was just a salary match anyway. Sorry for not logging on to ESPN every 12 hours or less. I'll think about correcting this. Then, I won't.
