Nash Not Happy With Bell And Diaw Trade

Steve Nash considers Raja Bell his best friend and wasn’t happy with the trading of his buddy and Boris Diaw a few days ago to the Bobcats. When asked about the trade Nash said that their departures left him “emotionally drained.” This can’t be a good sign for the Suns, and this might be the last straw for Nash when free agency rolls around in 2010.

“All I can say is that he’s my best buddy and my best friend,” Nash said after the short-handed Suns lost to the Lakers. “The guys loved him, and Boris, too. It’s hard you know. I have a hard time committing to this as a business. I take this personally.” 

Nash already was having a tough time dealing with the changes brought on by the departure of coach Mike D’Antoni and the arrival of Terry Porter and his more deliberate style of play.

“I take my career home with me and I care about my teammates,” Nash said. “When you lose two of your best friends on the team, it’s hard. We’re not only recreating chemistry, we’re changing our style. But we’ve got lots of time to build.”

Nash is a free agent in 2010, lives in NYC in the off season, loves Mike D’Antoni, and the Suns are only getting older, slower and defense-ier these days. So don’t be surprised is Nash ends up in New York along with LeBron James as a free agent in 2010. Just remember I called it.

  1. NASH COME TO NEW YORK ps. terry porter is really a bad coach i dont like his style or coaching 1 bit

  2. Offending Steve Nash or upsetting him is about the dumbest thing the Suns could do–besides taking Shaquille O’Neal and trading away Raja Bell. Steve IS the Suns, and if he leaves what little they still have will be gone.

    Of course, Steve Kerr is a dimwit. It’s like he’s fighting his old teammate, Michael Jordan, for the title of The NBA’s Stupidest Executive. Thing is, it’s a contest they’re both winning.
