Nash probably has 1-2 good years left. With DA gone and the inability to move Shaq, Nash has to be traded. He is at his best when he can control the whole offense. In order for us to compete in this series, his role was significantly reduced, he even admitted himself that he felt lost in the offense.
I think we should use Boris as our starting PG. If he can guard a fast **** like Parker, he can keep up with the majority of the league. I would like for them to move Barbosa and the 15th pick for an upper tier SG. A new coach with who demands defense and a controlled offense is needed but I have no idea where Kerr can find one. (Avery Johnson?
)
If we can get the same Shaq from this year, I'd be content. He's still a big body that can clean up the boards and deter drives to the basket. He's gotta practice those 5 ft gimmes though.
A lineup of Boris, New SG, Hill, Amare, Shaq should be a strong enough unit to compete.
