发帖数: 897 | 1 an unforeseen twist that could thrust the Los Angeles Lakers straight back
into title contention, two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash has successfully
negotiated a sign-and-trade deal from the Phoenix Suns to the Los Angeles
Lakers that will team him up with Kobe Bryant, according to sources with
knowledge of the deal.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Nash, with the New York Knicks also pressing
hard to complete a simiilar sign-and-trade deal, was swayed to join the
Lakers after a determined push from Bryant and because the move not only
keeps him in the title hunt but will allow Nash to stay in close proximity
to his three children in Phoenix.
Nash will receive a three-year deal in excess of $25 million, sources said,
because the Suns ultimately agreed to sign-and-trade him to the Lakers, who
can absorb Nash via the trade exception they created by dealing Lamar Odom
to the Dallas Mavericks in December.
The deal can't be officially completed until July 11, when a leaguewide
moratorium on new business is lifted, but the Suns will receive a package of
future draft picks after initially rebuffing Nash's requests to be traded
to the Suns' divisional rivals.
Difficult as it is on some levels for the Suns to help the face of the
franchise get to the Lakers -- especially after years of playoff battles
with the Lakers in the Nash Era -- sources say Suns owner Robert Sarver
finally agreed to the trade after yielding to a plea from Nash to send him
to a destination where he could maintain the closest possible ties to his
children and still chase the ring that has eluded him for 16 seasons.
The Lakers clinched the deal by surrendering the package of picks, but
sources said that the Suns did decide to reward Nash for all the success he
delivered over the past eight seasons.
Sending Nash to the team of his choosing ensures that the sides part on good
terms after it became clear in recent days that the Suns left little doubt
since free agency began Sunday at 12:01 a.m. that they were prepared to move
in a different direction instead of trying to match the determined bids for
Nash coming from the Toronto Raptors, Dallas Mavericks, Knicks and Lakers
to retain the 38-year-old.
The Knicks were equally high on Nash's list in a sign-and-trade scenario --
he's an offseason Manhattan resident -- and the Raptors were initially seen
as the favorite for Nash's services after quickly registering a three-year,
$36 million offer. The Brooklyn Nets and Mavericks also pursued Nash, Dallas
in particular after the Nets won the Deron Williams sweepstakes earlier
Tuesday.
Yet Nash ultimately decided that the combination of the chance to team with
Bryant, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum while securing the three-year deal he had
been hoping for, as well as the ability to keep a West Coast base to stay
near his children, could not be passed up.
Ironically, though, Nash said just last week in a radio interview with ESPN
NewYork 98.7's Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco that it would be difficult
on some levels to join Miami after the Heat just won the championship or
sign with the Lakers after all their playoff battles over the past eight
years.
"The truth is I'm a bit old school," Nash said in the June 25 interview. "
For me, it would be hard to put on a Lakers jersey. That's just the way it
is. You play against them so many times in the playoffs, and I just use them
as an example, and I have the utmost respect for them and their
organization.
"I kind of have that tendency (to try to beat the best teams), so it is
strange, but as a free agent you're free to go where you want, so I'd have
to consider everything regardless of the past or the future."
It had been anticipated that Phoenix would offer Nash a new two-year deal
worth at least $20 million, but the Arizona Republic reported Friday night
that the Suns "do not appear willing to meet (Nash's) wish for a three-year
deal." On draft night last week, Suns officials immediately began fighting
the perception that they selected North Carolina point guard Kendall
Marshall with the 13th pick as the first step in dealing with Nash's
eventual departure.
Nash earned nearly $12 million last season and averaged 12.5 points and 10.7
assists for a team that, with no 20-point scorer, nearly snagged the last
playoff spot in the West. The most difficult aspect of his decision, sources
said, was turning down Toronto, who made the biggest financial offer to
Nash in hopes of convincing Canada's best player to ever to come north of
the border to re-establish the Raptors as a playoff team in addition to his
new role as general manager of the Canadian men's national team.
Sources told ESPN.com that Nash will try to convince longtime teammate Grant
Hill, one of his closest friends in the game, to join him with the Lakers.
ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher reported over the weekend the Lakers were one
of four teams (along with Toronto, New York and Phoenix) in the running for
Hill after the 39-year-old's recent trip to Germany undergo the same
platelet-enrichment treatment on his knee that Bryant credited for his
rejuvenated knee last season. | m******e
