I'm confused why you think that. :) Nash only did it to benefit the Suns (he hated the Lakers) and because it would work for his family. Amare didn't want to be traded but the Suns (Sarver) wouldn't pay him due to his knee issue (Sarver opted to pay Turkey glue (can't remember how to spell his name) and Warrick instead. And Barkley just had his feelings hurt that he was on the trading table:

Later Regret
Despite forcing his way out of Phoenix, Barkley has since admitted that he did not actually want his time with the Suns to end. In later interviews, he revealed that he had been caught completely off guard by the trade and that his true intention was to finish his career in Phoenix. [1, 2, 3]

Sarver didn't want to pay Amare because no one would insure his knees. That was a risky deal. I think the Suns should have done it given who they gambled on but we didn't know at the time that was the plan. So Amare wanted to stay but wouldn't concede in any way as far as guaranteed years or option years.

This is an insane compilation.

Nash was the single greatest passer in NBA history.

He was also one of the most efficient shooters ever.

I cannot imagine how good he'd be if he played in this era and felt the freedom to shoot, modern NBA offense is basically built on Nash and D'Antoni.

He's the best Suns player ever and one of the more underrated players of all time, especially if you account for impact on the game.

Nash highlights without his signature one handed layups off the dribble.

He was a great passer, but watch a Jokic highlight reel and get back to me.

That's for sure. He could easily have been a 25 ppg scorer.

He won two MVPs and was voted into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, so I think it's a stretch to say that he's very much underrated.

if this is gonna work book needs to up his 3pt percentage - straight up and it starts with taking better quality shots

how the hell is he going to mentor jalen green and ask him to take better quality shots when book's punk ass is shooting 33% from 3 - not just last year but the last 2 years

You must be registered for see images attach


how the hell are you gonna go toe to toe with dame in the 3pt contest and then come up lame in ours?

make it make sense? i can try but it won't fix book's 3 ball

we had this guy named cp3 from 2020 to 2023 - now go back up and glance at that timeline again

oof - right?

this means that it's not book who sucks at 3s - but rather it's point-book who sucks at 3s

book can stand around and knock down open 3s with the best of them but that's seldom the case - book is usually dribbling downcourt and taking pop up 3s - while being defended - that's part of it

another part is book choosing to settle for 3s when the shot clock is winding down - also while being defended - drives me nuts - drives everyone nuts

the last second game winning 3s is what book is statistically good at - most chicken dinners in the league i believe (recent history) but bricking night in night out during the games is just no bueno

we're going to need 3s and kennard isn't playing 30 minutes a game - gillespie's 3 is sweet as hell but he's bench mob and gets picked on

book brooks and jalen green are gonna get the starts but if book is shooting 33% we're kinda screwed - especially on the nights that jalen's shot is off cuz when jalen's shot is off - omg
