Steve Nash for Andrew Bynum

PrintHey guys and gals. My name is Evan Levine and I wrote over at faketeams for the fantasy football season. Like most of you, I follow the NBA very closely (Knicks fan), and I constantly play with the NBA Trade Machine. I actually don't believe the Lakers need to make a trade, but I know a lot of the fans and critics of the Lakers do. Last night I made a 3 way trade between the Lakers, Warriors and Suns. Yes, I know all 3 teams plays in the same division, so this is unlikely but I want to know your thoughts on this trade I made. I showed this to a couple of my friends and they believe its a slam dunk for the Lakers. I am not sure how attached the fans and management are to Andrew Bynum. I absolutely love him, and I would have a hard time dealing him, but what if you got Steve Nash?
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=4r2vxx8
Lakers - Steve Nash 2 Years 10.3 Mill, Andris Biedrins 4 Years 9.0 Mill, Hakim Warrick 3 Years 4.2 Mill
Suns - Stephen Curry 2 Years 2.9 Mill, Theo Ratliff (Expiring Contract), 4.3 Mill Trade Exception and Devin Ebanks 2 Years under 500K
Warriors - Andrew Bynum 2 Years 13.75, Derrick Caracter 2 Years under 500k
Lakers - So many people believe the Lakers need a point guard, and the best point guard who could be made available is Nash. While the Suns haven't made him available, I believe for the right deal everyone can be had. The Lakers get the point guard which many people believe they need and Biedrins who is a solid center. Is he Bynum? Of course not, but he spreads the floor and he would contribute to the finals run. I had to add Warrick because the Suns need to dump one of those awful contracts, if they are going to deal Nash. So congrats Lakers fans, you get Warrick.
Suns - It's possible there is not a team in the NBA in a worst situation then the Suns. They have terrible contracts and outside of Nash and Marcin Gortat they don't have any NBA starters. They make the deal for Curry and get the point guard of the future, while still giving the fans something to get excited about. They take on some expiring contracts which is no big deal what soever.
Warriors - Honestly, I think this is a slam dunk for the Warriors. Curry and Monta Ellis while entertaining together are not going to bring the Warriors to the playoffs. This move allows Ellis (who is the future in Golden State) to be the point guard for the foreseeable future. Ellis,Bynum, David Lee and Dorell Wright is a solid core for the future, especially with money coming of the books. (I had a deal with the Warriors also getting Richard Hamilton, but I kind of think he is over the hill)
So this is my explanation for the trade. Please give me your thoughts. As I see this trade only being questionable for the Lakers, but its possible a lot of you think this is a slam dunk trade. Look forward to reading your comments.

Nash for Bynum?
Do not want.
I’m not Bynum’s biggest advocate and I do actually think that we could use a little more, how should I say, “something” at the PG position, but no, and no offense Evan, you did a nice job here, but hell no on an aging Steve Nash. I would prefer someone a bit younger (what can I say, I like ‘em young : )) and unless there would be a Wall or something as potential I wouldn’t give up Bynum for most anyone, you know, certainly not right now.
lol
of course you mention Wall ;)

love Nash
but trading a young player with tons of upside for him doesnt make sense.

Bynum is our best asset.
we won’t trade him unless we’re getting the best of the best in return.
also, if BYNUMITE ever leaves, I will be sad for a week. Then I’ll become a fan of w/e team he lands on, just so I can watch BYNUM SMASH.

Is Nash not the best of the best? He’s still a top 5 pg and is playing like he’s in his mid 20s. I am not saying I would do this trade if I was the Lakers, but when you say ‘’best of the best in return’’, I think Nash is in that category.
lol
no he is not the best. Give up a big man for a point guard.
that makes no sense

Nash is 38 years old, two years older than Fisher, and we're already an old team. Who knows how long he's going to play?
We’d be more interested in a point guard for the (and with a) future. Nash doesn’t make sense.

It actually sounds like a great trade for warriors/suns, and maybe an ok trade for lakers. But, probably bad idea for lakers. Nash really never has been a top 5 PG, and certainly not this year. And he’s the worst defensive player in the history of the nba. He would basically be somewhat useless in the triangle, given the fact that he needs to dominate the ball a ton, and won’t be able to do so with the lakers, in the triangle. A great spot up shooter he would be, but not worth giving up bynum for a guy like that.
But, the lakers seriously do need to look into trading bynum, at least to just see what’s out there. If nothing serious comes about, then fine, keep him, but the dude is basically worthless every playoffs. But, his size and athleticism at the C position is a rarity in the NBA.

Uh, ignoring the deal, your analysis of Nash is almost completely wrong
First, Nash would be awesome in the triangle because if you didn’t notice, he pairs that awesome passing ability with being one of the best shooters in the history of the game. Not just the current NBA, not just the last decade, of all-time. That hasn’t changed this year. Hell, his numbers are better than a lot of his previous years, and he’s putting up a 50-40-90 season at age 36. That’s insane. Even if he never had an assist in a Lakers uniform, he’d be a massive upgrade over the current production we’re getting from our point guards.
Next, his defense isn’t that bad. He’s not a good defender by any means, but you’re painting him as the point guard version of Eddy Curry on defense and that’s not true. He doesn’t move well laterally and has poor instincts, but does take lots of charges, and given how shitty our current defense at the position is, you’re not losing a whole lot (if at all).
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
With all due respect, ben, but have you seen the nba in the past 12 years. Nash is the absolute worst defender I’ve ever seen. The suns have to hide him on the defense. And even fisher lights him up from time to time, and that’s saying something.
I don’t care what nash has shot. Yea, he’s a great shooter, but that’s it. He won’t have the ball much, and the lakers giving up bynum for him is a complete waste and utter joke. I’m tired of nash’s overratedism. It’s a disease, now passed on to the queen.

8 + 24 > 23 + 6
...wow. Just, wow.
I don’t know what personal dislike you have that makes him complete anathema to you, but it’s quite amazing. Here, let me spell it out clearer for you. Nash has had, counting this year, five 50-40-90 seasons (as in 50 FG%/40 3P%/90 FT%; and really, he’s had six, as he was off by .001 FT% in ‘06-’07). Do you know who is next on the list? Larry Bird. Know how many 50-40-90 seasons he had? Two. I am explicitly not calling Nash better than Bird by any measure, but am instead making the comparison to illustrate that Nash is really fucking good. And obviously, per LakerAce, there is perhaps no superior operator of an offense in the league.
Regardless, I primarily wrote this to refute your claim that he would be bad in the triangle, which is really, a line of thought born out of having crappy PGs at the helm besides a superstar wing for years. First, the triangle does have a pick-and-roll component on the wings that Nash is more than capable of operating. Next, courtesy of the fact that Nash is, you know, a historically good shooter, having him sitting behind the arc when we have one of the best playmaking wings (Kobe) and passing bigs (Gasol) in the game is generally a good thing.
Finally, not calling Nash a top five PG is really a bit hilarious. Who is left after Paul, Williams, Rose, and perhaps Westbrook? No one else really comes close. You can nitpick the individual rankings in that set, but Nash is certainly in that tier and has lost almost nothing to age at 36.
Would I trade Bynum for him? No, as I illustrated below, but the notion that Nash wouldn’t be an immensely positive addition is absolutely false.

really?
when he was a back 2 back MVP, he wasn’t even a top 5 PG? I agree with you that this trade is bad for Nash and Lakers because they would be a bad fit but worst defensive player in the history of the NBA? No offense, but I think your evaluation of Nash comes from bleacher report articles.

"It's nice to feel good at 32. I don't feel old. I don't feel like this is getting harder. I feel like this is getting easier, if anything." Steve Nash
Nash is thirty six, Fish and he are from the same draft class!
Overall, this trade is completely unbalanced for nearly everyone. Nash is probably the only reason why the suns fill seats on a nightly basis and the suns are looking for a Pf, not someone that they can replace nash with at this juncture (Nash leads all guards with double doubles, and second in the league in Apg). Trading Bynum, probably the lakers biggest and best asset, for another point guard makes little to no sense and the warriors dont have anyone to replace steph curry. Nice try, but if I may suggest something, try to make sure you are clear on what every team is in need of.
Let Josh Childress play
Yeah, I was wrong on Nash's age, but being from the same draft class means nothing. Kobe and Fish are from the same class too, but they're four years apart in age.
As for this:
Nice try, but if I may suggest something, try to make sure you are clear on what every team is in need of.
I don’t give a shit what the other teams are in need of. I only care about the Lakers, and what they need. Since the post is titled “Steve Nash for Andrew Bynum”, and the comment I responded to was about exactly that, that is all that was relevant.
LOL, nice try.

Trade makes no sense for us....
and it makes no sense for Golden State. GS is gonna trade their future star for a center with perennial knee injuries?
I suppose this trade is better than previous attempts
Simply by virtue of the TC attempting to make the trade equitable for all sides, but 1) Golden State isn’t giving up Curry for Bynum; you have to pay a premium to get a solid young player still on his rookie deal and Curry is basically untouchable 2) Biedrins isn’t an adequate replacement for Bynum as he’s awful defensively; the trade would actually be better if you just traded with the Suns directly and got Gortat, but even that wouldn’t be enough to address his loss in the middle. Maybe if this was Deron Williams or Chris Paul we were talking about, then sure, but Nash is old. I don’t think he’s going to decline severely anytime soon so long as he can shoot the lights out, but it’s a bad investment either way.

nash? yes!...
but for bynum? NO! if that would be the case, then i would rather wait till next yr, when dwight howard opts for free agency. sen dbynum as a sign and trade, if, and thats a very big if, mitch soo happened to lure another bigman from orlando.
Like the feedback
If you read what I wrote, I said this was questionable for the Lakers. I said in my post I am not sure if I would do it, but I floated in by a lot of people and they seemed to like it.
This trade clearly benefits the Suns as Curry will still put fans in the seats and he is extremely young and talented. To the person who said they need a pf you are right. But if you didn’t notice they signed a bunch of them this off-season. They kind of have to deal with that hand for a while.
The Warriors are not going to win with Curry and Ellis playing together. It hasn’t worked so far and it won’t work in the future. They can’t move Ellis because of his giant contract so moving Curry makes a lot more sense.
I will repeat myself in saying I wasn’t sure about it for the Lakers. But to those who are killing Steve Nash that is pretty crazy. He makes everyone on his team better every night and puts up numbers with the best point guards in the league. The numbers say he isn’t slowing down and that’s with no one around him in Phoenix.
i posted this in a previous blog, i would love to see nash in the purple and gold! he does things that fisher doesnt do, and thats penetrate in the lane alot more, looping around screens, not only looking for the open man, but for his shot as well. and he’s a way better passer.
i really think that would be a great move, but, not at bynum’s expense! ill take his 2 creaky knees, as long as he’s out there on the court, then losing a big man in the middle. but, nash would be killer! he desreves a shot at a title, and he would add another deadly, reliable, shooter, instead of wondering who’s going to have a great game in our other pg’s.

Not gonna happen
Stephen Curry is the future of the Warriors (NOT Monta). They will never trade him (especially while giving up Biedrins) for an injury-prone Center and an unproven rookie (although I love the two). Speaking of Biedrins, you said he’ll spread the floor. He misses half his layups and post shots and he’s the worst free throw shooter in the league (arguably). You said he’ll contribute to the Finals run, but he’s softer than Charmin Ultra-Soft, and makes Pau Gasol look like the Hulk. He has no chance against the big boys of Boston and San Antonio (and possibly Orlando and even Miami/Chicago).
The only team that would accept this is your Suns. You guys get one of the most entertaining and skilled young point guards in the league with potential to be a perennial all-star, rid yourselves of some awful contracts (especially Warrick) and get some trade chips with that exception and Devin Ebanks, along with Theo’s veteran presence.
Like you said, it probably won’t happen. But not because they’re in the same division, but because it only clearly benefits (for now and the future) the Phoenix Suns.

I think Monta
is definitely the current and future for the Warriors. He’s not that much older than Curry and he already has all the skills that Curry possesses, slightly less of a shooting stroke, but neither of them are really franchise players because of their defense and the fact that they’re undersized.

TRADE KOBY FOR LUTHER HEAD!!!! (it's a movement)
Eh, the big difference is that Ellis has that huge contract
While Curry is still on his rookie deal, which makes him the “future” for the team by default. Golden State would probably be willing to dump Ellis if they got some nice pieces and relief from his contract whereas Curry is simply untouchable. I’d also argue he’s a far superior distributor than Ellis and works off the pick-and-roll much better.

Idk
I thought Ellis has been pretty good this year in terms of distribution as a SG, obviously not a do-it-all player like Kobe but pretty good for a SG sharing PG duties. I get the contract thing, but I just thought that they could probably get the same thing for either of them and maybe even more for Curry because of Ellis’ past problems. His contract isn’t really that big and considering his production he has actually been earning it this year, but I think they’d most likely get rid of one of them before giving both of them max money. I mean, paying two undersized guards with defensive trouble max money is something I don’t think they’ll do. If Ellis continues playing how he is, I think they might keep him and just get more of a defensive PG with good passing skills to facilitate the offense with Ellis as the primary scorer alongside Wright.
I think their more crippling contracts are David Lee and Andris Biedrins more than Monta, mostly cuz I don’t think David Lee will ever be worth 15 million dollars. They do get some relief next year after VladRad and Gadzuric come off the books though.

Bynum/Nash
The NBA trade machine is fun. I like messing around with it from time to time. Right now Steve Nash is the Suns most valuable asset. Without him they dont sell tickets. at least not as much as they do now. He’s beloved in Phoenix and is the reason many still support the team. Robert Sarver knows this. He’s no fool. Nash would never be traded.
a better trade will be
kobe for Brendan Roy
Gasol for Oden
Fish for Baron Davis
Artest for Danny Granger
and we keep Bynum
and Mitch obviously have to get the best medical staff
lolwut

Nash is good but
I think he is somewhat a product of the systems he plays in also. Kinda like Fisher and the triangle. Now if Curry was to come here that would be something to think about..
Old, Slow, and Indifferent...Ladies and Gentlemen, These are your Los Angeles Lakers!
How is he a product of that system?
Sure, it might pad his assist totals (not that he doesn’t earn those dimes mind you), but it’s not the determining factor in him having insane shooting percentages. Given how often his shots are off the dribble with a guy in his face, one would think he’d be even better with more complementary options around him.
Curry is basically Nash-lite. I’d definitely prefer him because of the age difference but there’s no comparing them as players.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Im not saying he wouldnt be successful in any other system
What I am saying is the run and gun style he plays gives him more opportunities at both assists and points. You can even add in the fact that he doesnt play much defense which saves him energy he can use at the offensive end. Im not comparing Curry and Nash at this point in their careers but if i had a choice i would pick Curry over Old Nash in a heartbeat. Like you said he’s younger and would give the Lakers Nash-lite numbers Minus the assists, which isnt that big of a deal in the triangle anyway. aaah would have been nice to have kept Toney Douglas
In a perfect world, I would trade Bynum and get D. Williams..He could be another shooter plus he would give the Lakers someone else who can create his own shot, breakdown the defense and dish/finish besides Kobe.
Old, Slow, and Indifferent...Ladies and Gentlemen, These are your Los Angeles Lakers!
Right, but it has nothing to do with his percentages
If anything, that he’s putting up a 50-40-90 season even despite the fact he has less offensive options around him than ever is a testament to how good of an offensive player he is. He’s not going to forget how to shoot or finish (and he does the latter shockingly well for a guy as old as he is) just because the system isn’t run and gun. You’re right in that his PPG/APG are increased virtue of the pace the Suns play at, but that’s a consideration entirely different from how often the ball ends up in the basket.
And yeah, D-Will would be great, although my considerations of the 2012 free agent class begin and end with Howard.

Nash-lite in shooting, maybe.

He works really well off the pick-and-roll
Obviously, he’s nowhere near Nash in that department, but he’s pretty solid in that regard.

I'm reccing this...
it would not and should not happen but of all the ridiculous nash trade ideas I’ve read this one, IMO is the most balanced. I agree that steph curry and ellis are giving up part of their talents playing together, Bynum (if healthy) would be a great addition to the warriors. Nash and Bedrienes would definitely help the Lakers. Steavie is scoring more points and handing out nearly as many assist as did when he was a MVP with less talent surrounding him. it would be a fucking travesty if he were to be used simply as a spot up shouter, or coming off the Bench…bleh!. if the trade was made and nash/bryant could coexist, with gasol at center and LO(who’s been solid lately) at PF….it could be very scary…Kobe no longer has to walk the line of facilitator or scorer Gasol and Odem get fed easy buckets, and when Nash sits Fish takes the helm… could be great, could also spell epic fail, Nash Kobe would be a delicate Balance. plus the thought of Steve Nash in Purple and Yellow would send me on a cat kicking tirade, the likes of which have never been seen….nobody wants that, especially SCG.
