Wtf? lol

[AussieG]

[QUOTE]Nash, 39, looks exactly the way you would expect a point guard four months shy of his 40th birthday to look. He

[Bcogswell]

Won't happen unless we can get unprotected first round picks to make up for Nash's god awful contract, and I don't think LAL even has any?

[OJ SIMPSON 2.0]

Bad trade for the Lakers. Rudy gay isn't worth the money he costs.

Rudy Gay, Kobe on a pay cut, Gasol with the bird rights and the cap space to sign another free agent?

Kobe has never played with a perimeter player the caliber of Rudy gay (not that gay is amazing)

But i for one would love to see this. TOR would need to throw in another PG tho

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Nick Young, Kobe, and Rudy Gay chucking up shots in seven seconds or less offense?
Demolishes current record for field goal attempts and missed field goal attempts in a season.

Really think about that, give it a minute.

Haha I meant to say perimetr player and quickly edited it.

Drunk so whatever

[flipogb]

Rudy Gay would play PF in their system

[CelticBaller]

Rudy Gady for Stephen Nash sound fair

[Droid101]

Cool. Yeah maybe in his early years but since he came into his own he hasn't had a fellow wing assassin by his side.

Don't even know how that would work tbh.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

I would take Eddie Jones any day of the week over Gay.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Would do it if the lakers gave up a 1st (even if it's 2015 or 2016)

[poido123]

This could be good for both teams.

Rudy Gay is taking shots away from Jonas, not allowing him to develop more. Lakers are in need of a third scorer and a guy who can compliment gasol and Kobe.

This doesn't look fair on paper, but money wise and contracts it makes a lot of sense.

[andremiller07]

Better off doing Thornton and Salmons for Gay, Salmons expiers next season and Thornton has the same length contract as Nash on a cheaper deal plus he's 100% healthy and younger unlike Nash.

This isn't good for the Raptors.

If Nash is coming, they have to ship Lowry too. The Raptors would want picks and young talent, which seems the Lakers don't exactly have for one of those categories.

Rudy isn't stopping Val's development either, it's Dwane Casey. He literally doesn't play him in the 2nd half because of his love for small ball. Coaches run the lineups and offensive and defensive sets, which impacts how productive they can be.

I stand corrected.

You obviously know more than me as I only watch a few Raptors games and you're a big fan of theirs.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Still...Eddie Jones and Glen Rice were better.

[Bosnian Sajo]

I personally would love this trade. Nash hardly has an impact on the game anymore as is, and Rudy would make our team that much more fun to watch. Farmar/Blake as the pg rotation.

[bagelred]

Kobe on a pay cut,



:roll:

[red1]

Would help the tank so I'm down.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

Would do it if the lakers gave up a 1st (even if it's 2015 or 2016)

lol fcuk no...Gay is owned 20mil next yr and nash is 9mil....

nash can be stretched provision or he will just retire....

gay owes 20mil which kills the lakers chance of signing 2 max free agents

[fpliii]

Oh god I can't spell. Mods? Or you can leave it I guess.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

You know what? I'd do it even without the first. I hate Rudy.

[MastaKilla]

Still...Eddie Jones and Glen Rice were better.


Hell no.

The glen rice that played for the lakers is nowhere near the level of player current Rudy gay is.

Eddie jones was a good player, but as a shooting guard by the time Kobe was Kobe the value he added to the team was irrlevant.

Gay would be the best perimeter player he's ever played with in their current form

i dont want gay and his 20mil contract next yr...keep him

you got gay by fcuking giving up ed davis..and expirers ...dont act like u trade Val or Barg or even fcuking ross for this chump chucker

now that he is linked to lakers u want all house i guess

[SpecialQue]

No.

[Spaulding]

Lakers need youth. Even though this will never happen

[LakersDaBEst]

We don't need another forward because we already have Kaman, Hill, Wesley, Nick,


We need a young PG. Nash for MCW!

[ZMonkey11]

I personally would love this trade. Nash hardly has an impact on the game anymore as is, and Rudy would make our team that much more fun to watch. Farmar/Blake as the pg rotation.

Gasol gets MUCH better looks when Nash is running the point. When Blake runs it, he looks like a chicken with his head cut off.

Someone hasn't watched a Lakers game.

[longtime lurker]

I'm a Lakers fan and even I know this would amount to highway robbery for the Lakers lol Nash is done.

[Flash31]

At this point
Cant tell if bad trade for Lakers or Raptors?

What are you even talking about ?

First of all, we traded Calderon, Davis, and a 2nd round pick to get Gay in a 3 team trade. If Masai is really going to move a lot of parts, I'm expecting picks and expiring contracts coming back, if not younger talent.

I actually don't want Gay gone, just think he's in a slump offensively. His defense has been fine and has rebounding has been great. Getting Nash alone is just a clear loss for the Raptors in this trade, since we get a longer contract and a much older player.

[fiddy]

Nash needs to go asap.

[coin24]

This. I think this is a case of both teams actually getting worse:lol

[Out_In_Utah]

Bad trade for both teams IMO. I hope it happens.

[Haymaker]

If true, Jim Buss :facepalm

[disel]

Would do it if the lakers gave up a 1st (even if it's 2015 or 2016)
Jones, Glen Rice and even a winner like Rick Fox. Not as flashy, but Fox saraficed his offense in La. He was a 18 point scorer in Boston.

[HylianNightmare]

would love to see this happen for LA

[Bosnian Sajo]

Gasol gets MUCH better looks when Nash is running the point. When Blake runs it, he looks like a chicken with his head cut off.

I said hardly makes an impact, sure he's always gonna be good at finding open players but...the cons outweigh the pros, his defense is nonexistent. Opposing pg's get passed him like he's not even there. His minutes are very limited because of his age, and I've even heard the commentators say he will be missing the 2nd game in back to backs this season. Don't get me wrong, I like Nash, but if we can get Rudy Gay for him...imo, might be the better option. Idk whether Gay will exercise his player option or not, but even if he does his contract ends at the same time as Nash.

I've watched every Laker game btw, you're not talking to some mediocre fan.

[Fresh Kid]

Steve nash needs to go to tha knicks tho. Tha only person that would get amare off dat bench too.

[jbryan1984]

Another Lakers need help rumor. Just like Beasley coming in 2011 (bet they are glad that one didn't happen). Just like KG coming in 2007. Just like..... who was Kobe supposed to get traded for? Deng and Gordon?

[scm5]

If Kevin Love ends up in LA like everyone is predicting, and Sessions makes his way back to LA... Gay Love Sessions.

[Mr Know It All]

I'd take Ariza or Artet on the championship Lakers teams over Rudy Gay. The guy is so inefficient on offense it is disgusting. I guess if the Lakers are desperate to be relevant this year they could use his D and athleticism, but I would feel out for another player if I were them.

Raptors would also be retarded to pick up Nash. Masai would have proven himself a fraud and just as bad as BC barely a month into the season.

[INDI]

I'm a Lakers fan and even I know this would amount to highway robbery for the Lakers lol Nash is done.

True but I think this is more about marketing than it is basketball. Nash is a hometown hero. They will sellout games just because he's there and will do the same for the raptors that lin does for china. Nash will absolutely dominate jersey sales if he was a raptor

how is this a loss? nash makes 9mil next yr compared to gay who makes 20mil. other contracts coming to Tor would be expirers so you save 11mil off the bat.

davis is not getting any big mins in memphis...he is barely playing 9 mins
