So was plan B better than plan A?

Who brings more as far as improving the team goes can be debated with both sides having legit arguments. What can't be debated
is that Nash would have been hyped to the casual fan [who doesn't post here] and they may have sold out the season.
There could be something to the angle that plan B was preferred by Colangelo and Company. A chance of winning and closer to his kids may have been trumped by the ego stroke that comes with a superstar pay cheque. $12,000,000. a year doesn't do that.

I think this is a exponentially better basketball move than signing Nash and I'm pretty pumped to see how he does."I may be wrong ... but I doubt it"

I do not understand what other option would have been better then this? Keeping Calderon as the soul point guard?
Jose has represented the soul of this team (beyond his dedication). Like the Raptors, that soul has been kicked around, shown little respect, been through so many ups and downs ... yet keeps on going - however difficult the path has been.

I think its interesting that almost no one talks about the first rounder that we had to give up to get Lowry. Thats a steep price and the key difference between the Nash and Lowry options. On their own, for sure, Lowry is a better option (even taking into account that we only have him for two years).
For all the people who have been trumpting building through the draft and doing it the right way .. Im amazed at how many people have just kissed goodbye a HUGE asset in the first round draft pick without really missing a beat. On balance, im ok with giving up the pick because Lowry is good and his contract is great .. but make no mistake .. giving up that pick was a HUGE HUGE asset to give up
