NBA網站看到的 HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – It seems a bit ridiculous now, Steve Nash having to address trade rumors a whopping seven games into the season. But all it takes is someone raising the question, as my main pan Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic did in the video above (fast forward to the 4 minute mark and see Nash’s response). Nash responded the way you might expect, with the perfect blend of respect for the man who posed the question and disdain for the premise. Nash squashed any rumors and politely explained that he’s still in a Suns uniform because he wants to be. As for the rumors, Nash labeled them as “a lot of chatter, nothing really substantial.” That won’t slow the conversation surrounding Nash’s future, a debate no doubt stirred by NBA.com’s Shaun Powell a couple of days ago when legitimately raised the question about where the Suns go from here: For a franchise that doesn’t seem willing (or able?) to spend money on big-ticket free agents, the only way to rebuild is through the Draft or with promising young players. The only way to do that is to trade an asset. Do the Suns keep Nash around for sentimental reasons and to win 45-50 games (which takes them out of the Draft lottery) and play a round or two in the playoffs? Or do they trade him and get something in return before it’s too late? With Goran Dragic as a capable replacement for Nash, at least until they get somebody better, the Suns owe it to themselves to study the situation between now and the trade deadline. Shaun suggested several options for the Nash and the Suns, including the Heat and Magic, needing what he brings. It’s an intriguing premise, even if it is all just hypothetical chatter. We all play arm-chair GM anyway (sorry Steve, but this is what some people do in between games) and no one is off limits. http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2010/11/11/nash-speaks-on-trade-rumors/?ls=iref:nbahpt1 --
