It is time to change the offense.
Yeah, Terry Porter did a brilliant job of that, huh?

Step 1: Sign Nash to new deal starting less than his current salary but extending for 3 years in order to give him financial security.
Step 2: Wait the 3 months that you cannot trade a player after they sign a new contract.
Step 3: Entice prospective buyers with his new improved contract in exchange for young talent.

Wait a second, I am confused about something. If it so obvious that a team with Nash's defensive liabilities could never win a championship, why would a team give up a top-10 draft pick to trade for him?
If there is a very good defensive team surrounding Nash he becomes less of a liability. There might be a team out there that feels they are very good defensively that is looking to add a little punch to their roster by adding a scoring/assist type PG.
I think it is an oxymoron. I don't think that you can have one. Dribble penetration is key to collapsing defenses and Nash's man gets to the lane with ease. Even Garnett or TD behind Nash won't make much of a difference IMO.
Nash's defensive lack can be hidden by the zone defense, the problem is the big men are poor defenders too.
Dribble penetration can be directed towards the middle or sides, but you have to have power forward who can guard spots and a center who is mobile.
Having Stoudemire and O'Neal basically doesnt help Nash's case.
There are many good defensive point guards out there, but none stand out because the offensive arsenal of guards are just too much... basically.... if the rest of the team can shut down their men, and just let Nash's man be the offensive guy then it SHOULDN'T be a problem..
but when Nash's man scores 20+, JRich's man scores 20+, O'Neal and Stoudemire's man goes for another 20 each... then its redundant.... make Nash's man take the shots, that way it takes away from the other team's players...

Porter tried to change the offense but the players, Nash being a main one, resisted and made things worse.
I'm saying you don't keep Nash just because he can run this offense, you change the offense to where you don't need to have a player with Nash's deficiencies to run it.

All the "Nash" bashing is just getting sickening. He is NOT the sole reason this team is not making the playoffs.
or possibly he is still a top 10 PG and they know its not that easy to find one better
Wouldn't it make sense to keep MVSteve? I mean really, the dude's defensive IQ is poor, but that has always been known.
Who in the league could run this offense better? Steve is a Sun...
1. Re-sign Nash, keep Gentry
2. Trade Nash, find another head coach
