The whole idea of Nash is part of the 'hit the ground running' memo BC and Casey have been issuing all season.
There is no one better in the NBA at running the pick and roll which will be extremely important with JV.
The guy is year in and year out flirting with 50/40/90 in shooting percentages - extremely rare.
He makes everyone around him better (the only person Jose has made look good is Amir - but so has Bayless, actually).
He adds instant credibility around the league.
He adds instant credibility in the locker room as a 2 time MVP.
He adds professionalism and a voice for a young team on the importance of diet and training (monkey see, monkey do).
Statistically, his defense is much better than Calderon's - Bayless too. Put him in Casey's system and maybe he looks good.
Look at the roster in PHX, yet they are just 1.5 games out of the tough Western Conference playoffs.
He will not be playing more basketball this summer, he'll be training to survive the rigors of an 82 games season.
The key to any signing of Nash would be to have a plan moving forward. Personally, I still like the Kabongo idea. It will just have to possibly wait 1 year.
Also, one thing about Nash is he is an extremely nice guy. Yeah he said he'd play for the HEAT but he also said he'd consider the Knicks. Bottom line is he'll say he'll consider anyone because no doubt he will - he is unrestricted. There are only a handful of teams capable of offering him anything near what he is getting now ($11M). The contenders will be limited to $5M or $3M.
