sports.yahoo.com/news/agent-nash-goes-lakers-sign-020226176--nba.htmlAll I can say... Wow. I don't think it makes them an NBA Finals team though. All five of their starters will have at least one all-star appearance if Steve Nash does in fact go to the Lakers once it becomes official. It wouldn't surprise me if the Lakers trade Pau Gasol though. Also, they can afford to make a run at Dwight Howard, apparently.

It's official. The Suns get 4 draft picks in return. This is the last place I wanted him to go.

Nothing is official until July 11th, as it's the first day new contracts can be signed.

It's not official if it's said verbally though. It's like young athletes committing to a college and then changing their mind later. It's not official until there's some kind of official document. If the Suns receive a better sign-and-trade offer from a playoff team that Steve Nash would prefer playing at, this probably won't happen.

Please some other team offer a better deal for Nash! As Blazers fans, we never cheer for Lakers.

I have never liked the Lakers for some reason. I remember playing "Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside" on the Nintendo 64 when I was like six years old and I always hated Kobe Bryant especially for some reason. I mean, I didn't know anything about the NBA and I didn't like basketball at all, but my friend gave me the game and I figured I'd try it out. I remember I used the Lakers, but I took out Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, put in a couple of my custom players who were amazing, and then I put in Nick Van Exel. It may sound stupid that I used the Lakers even though I didn't like them, but I liked Nick Van Exel. I was a beast. I don't think we have anything to worry about though, Kobe Bryant isn't getting a sixth championship ring. Steve Nash will make the Lakers better, but they're not an NBA Finals team. The Thunder will be too good for them, even if they lose James Harden.
