Read about Business Insiders reflection on the Steve Nash trade:
“Nash had a great 19-year career that included eight All-Star games, three times being named first-team All-NBA, and twice winning the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award.
But injuries derailed Nash’s last two seasons with the Lakers, making their trade for the star point guard a disaster.

Bleacher Report discusses the possibility of bringing Jordan Hill back to the team next season:
“The 6’10” combo center/power forward has started 55 out of 63 games this season, posting career-high numbers across the board. But he also has a $9 million price tag attached to his team option, and if exercised, it will greatly reduce any chance of chasing an elite max-contract player.
At age 27, Hill is in his prime. His 12.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in an economical 27.6 minutes per game represent a step forward in his career arc.
His methodology as a scorer has evolved as well. Once known primarily for close-up work, Hill has added a mid-range game, with 37 percent of his field-goal attempts occurring between 16 feet out and the three-point line.”
