After the initial shock of thinking of
Steve Nash in a Lakers uniform wears off, if you look at it closely the Suns
actually come out of this deal looking pretty good. First off, the Suns were
not going to keep Nash. It just became a question of where he would actually
go. The Suns are trying to rebuild and get younger. No matter how good Nash is,
he is old and while he can aid in the development of Kendall Marshall and Goran
Dragic, it would be in the Suns best interest to play the young guys now.
Secondly, the Suns are not going to win a championship before Nash retires so
it was best to let him go. Also, in the deal the Suns got draft picks. Extra
draft picks for a rebuilding team is like finding water in the desert. It's a
huge deal. It's another opportunity to rebuild a struggling roster. So, while
its disappointing to see Nash go, let's be honest we knew it was going to
happen. At least the Suns learned from the departure of their last big star,
Amare Stoudemire, and got something in return this time.
