That sucks. I really like Nash but hate the Lakers with the fury of a thousand suns.
Lakers fans are acting like they are going to win a title now. I just don't see it happening without additional moves.
Nash makes them better, but doesn't put them past the Thunder, Heat or Bulls(if rose comes back strong).
When I told my wife about Nash going to the Lakers, she said "That's too bad. I thought he was better than that." And she doesn't even follow the NBA.
I know people have been calling the Nash decline for about a decade, but I really think this backfires on L.A. Although, I'm not your typical Jazzfanz Laker hater either, so I'm not going to hate watching the Lakers if it works.
I think the best counter point to their potential success I've seen is that Mike Brown is still their coach.
Honestly, I would rather see Nash win a ring with the Lakers then LeBron win another ring with the Heat.
This makes the Lakers a complete team. The Heat would have a real tough time going up against the Lakers with no center or point guard. OKC will have a much harder time defending them. LA lead in the 4th in those two playoff games they lost by 2 and 3 points. Nash can change those outcomes.
If I'm LA, I'm more worried about a declining Kobe Bryant making $30,000,000 than I am about Nash. But even Kobe will work a lot less with Nash distributing wide open J's to him.
That would mean Kobe ties Jordan in number of rings, and then for the rest of my life, I will have to read bull **** articles comparing the two, and dumb **** analysts making their case for why they think Kobe is better. **** that ****. You sir, need to remove yourself to the corner now, and kick yourself repeatedly in the nads.
I have been rooting for Lebron for a few years now, and it has nothing to do with liking Lebron. I root for him because he is my greatest hope to make sure Kobe always stays one less than MJ, and that absolutely has to happen. It ****ing has to.
They will be better, no doubt, but I'm not ready to say the Heat will have trouble with them. I think Kobe is shooting for career stats, and I just don't see him adapting his game enough to not screw them up. Nash is bound to hit a wall at some point, and he's already a considerable liability on defense. Plus, the whole team is bound to get injured, because they have to.
