Steve Nash is Officially a Laker
Hope you enjoyed your win, Lebron, because it might be the last – according to ESPN.com, Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash has arrives in Los Angeles to play for the Lakers, a move that could “thrust the Los Angeles Lakers straight back into title contention.”
Despite Suns president Lon Babby calling his departure “excruciating,” the move will give the Suns “four draft picks — first rounders in 2013 and 2015 and second rounders in 2013 and 2014.”
Furthermore, Nash will receive a reported $27 million for the move, and says he was ultimately swayed to go to the Lakers (the Knicks were also vying for him) by a “determined push from [Kobe] Bryant,” and the fact that he would be closer to his children, who will remain in Phoenix.
We look forward to seeing what Nash, Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Andrew Bynum will do together this season. Has there ever been a undefeated NBA team? This could be a first!

NY will do better with Jason Kidd in my opinion.

Who wrote this article? You must be drugs. The Lakers still won’t beat Miami and OKC neither. 82-0? Give me a fucking break
