Nash's three point shooting would legitimately provide the Lakers the outside threat they so desperately need. Nash is one of the premier shooters in the league ... absolutely flawless form!

I'm not so sure he'd be a great fit.... he's used to having the ball in his hands almost all the time..... Kobe is as well.... Nash's best asset is how he runs the pick and roll.... that relegates Kobe to a spot up shooter.... Not sure Nash has ever played with dominate players in the post and wing....

The other end of the floor would take a step backwards that much is given..... and after watching Sessions that's hard to say....

For nearly 12 million a year I'd rather get younger and more athletic.... not older and less so....

Then trade Pau for pieces (athletic/shooters/defenders) that can run with Nash, space the floor for D12 and keep the hounds off Kobe...

Do all that and you have Nash dissecting, shooters keeping the doubles off people and Kobe/D12 for the most part having one on one opportunities vs. the defense.

I think that is greater than having Gasol and limiting the ability of Nash to get into the dirty areas with a twin tower lineup.

That works better for pick and roll as well. Not so much clogging the paint.

Regarding Nash-to-Lakers, I'd be surprised if Phoenix would be too eager to cooperate in a sign & trade with their Pacific Division rivals.

Let's not forget, Steve Nash was recently quoted as saying, "For me, it would be hard to put on a Lakers jersey. That’s just the way it is."

Please tell me you're joking. We need Drew to get Howard. We can get Nash by trading Sessions.

Robert Sarver would get $9 million in cash with a sign-and-trade using that traded player exception.

I would think the Lakers would send Sessions and Ebanks to Phoenix. It would just be two separate deals to make it work under the salary cap.

Bynum/Metta for Dwight, J-Rich
Pau for Iggy, Vucevic
S&T Sessions for Nash
Sign Jamison for mini-MLE, re-sign Hill and Ebanks

Nash / Blake / Morris
Bryant / Richardson / Johnson-Odom / Goudelock
Iguodala / Ebanks / Eyenga
Jamison / Hill / McRoberts
Howard / Vucevic

Grand slam.
