I think thats a yes and no. They are the easiest to find, but usually they are bargain basement guys that work out. Bagels pointed out Korver, but in general paying a shooter who cant do anything else is usually a bad idea. From what Ive seen, shooters are similar to relief pitchers in baseball. They can be found anywhere, but once they are found they are often overpaid, and its just as easy to strike out on a prospective one as it is to hit on one.

you mean major injuries like Bynum missing ~20 games last year ? Kobe and Nash belong in a retirement home
just saying it's not as far fetched as you're making it out to be

Bynum missed 6 games last year.

Right. The league only played 66 games. I know I was in the Army but I cant be this dumb. Im pretty sure my math is right here.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

I think Bynum, who is their most valuable player IMO, can miss 40 games and they will make the playoffs still.

I get your point, I just like the move. The Lakers are betting that they at the very least make the playoffs the next two years. I think that's a safe bet.

There is an outside chance it could be a lottery pick in 2015. That would require Nash to show his age and Kobe unable to go to Germany to see his Doctors.

Im pretty hammered right now.

The second number one is in 2015 due to NBA rules you cant trade your first round pick in back to back years.

This line is crazy. Maybe in a couple different ways.

In fairness you have to expect Bynum to miss 20+ games. Since he didn't you have to find a way to trade him for Howard. When healthy he is easily the 2nd center in the league. Unfortunately he has the attention span of a 4 year old.

You think Kobe, Nash, and Pau will age that quickly? They did it in the 2010-2011 season pretty much.

Im pretty hammered right now.

Not to mention Bynum is improving and Kobe is declining.

Im pretty hammered right now.

This is not really supporting your stance.


Kobe is declining, but he is declining from a level that Andrew Bynum will never reach, even if he was wearing special Bernstein shoes.

How does that go against my stance?

Im pretty hammered right now.

I'm just saying. That doesn't mean much.

Mario Chalmers game is on the rise, and D Wade's is on the decline. Therefore Chalmers is more valuable than Wade.

[ Therefore Chalmers is more valuable than Wade.

Lol what? That didn't even mock me. That's not what I said at all for my reasoning for saying Bynum is their MVP.

I was surprised that Steve Nash accepted a sign-and-trade. Not just any other team, but the Los Angeles Lakers, a team in the Phoenix Suns' own Pacific Division. It will be a little different seeing Steve wearing a number other than #13 with the purple & gold, but all indications had Nash going to the New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors or the new NBA Champion Miami Heat, not the Lakers.

It is my understanding that Nash specifically asked to be moved to L.A. because his kids will remain in Phoenix and he wanted to remain reasonably close.
