We have Nash and Blake under contract..what would be the point of bringing Sessions back? He wouldn't be happy in a backup role.
Our focus should be on a 2/3 that can spell Kobe & hit an open shot (maybe Grant Hill) and a backup big man (Jordan Hill may be signing with another team)

the only thing sessions has on nash is that his younger even then say you sign sessions for 5 years, yall honestly think he could lead this team behind bynum when kobe is already done?
Sigh. How many minutes will Steve Nash play a game? Who is our backup Point guard? Answer those 2 questions and that's why it is meh
Our backup point guard is now the guard who was about to be our starting point guard (Steve 'Jiu Jitsu' Blake).
The possibility of Nash helping Pau/Stella find his groove back > trade exception.
We need a 2/3 shooter now to help space the floor. Grant Hill would be nice but a Novak type of player would be even better. We saw what Mike Miller can do, we need someone like that especially since Metta + Barnes can't shoot the 3 consistently.
Not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is if you have Steve Nash he's playing 28 mpg. Steve Blake then gets 20mpg. So for 20 mins Our offense gets stagnant again. What I'm saying is if you get Nash, you need a borderline starter as a backup; Sessions, Teague, Aaron Brooks. Because with Nash at limited minutes the backup is extremely important. If your backup is Steve Blake then

Kind of like when Knicks fans were certain Lebron was going to NY?

On the flipside, you could look at it like Kobe & Co. would take pressure off Nash, allowing him to play more minutes.Originally Posted by Essential1

Again...Sessions very well could have left our team either way, in that scenario we would have Steve Blake and Darius Morris. Steve Blake for 20 mins > Steve Blake for 38.

Agreed. Nash is nice but I would have went in another direction if I were LA.
Yep.

But at least teams can't leave Nash open like they did with Fisher, Sessions and Blake.
Edit:
If the Lakers are looking for an athletic SF:

I agree that Nash is a horrible defender, but y'all are acting like the league is full of great perimeter defenders.
Now more than ever, Dwight would be huge. He could and would erase all mistakes on Defense made by Nash or Kobe.
edit: now we gotta work on our bench. Who's our backup 2/3. Back up big without Hill?
Another shooter off the bench would be awesome. Also, we need more athletes...

Are we going to be the only team to start a White PG and have a White Backup PG?

That is a massive understatement. You don't lead the league in assists with average teamates (at best) at the age of 36/37/38 if all you can do is 'still play'. Nash averaged 10.7 assists last year, my guess-timation would be around the 12.5 per game this year playing 30 minutes. Nash takes care of his body and his conditioning excels. I don't see his minutes dipping below 30 minutes.

Hopefully D12.
Everyone crying about Nash being old and not a elite defensive PG.
Stop already. Heck the same people were complaining about Chris Paul not being a defensive PG when he was first traded to the Lakers.
Bottom line is that in today's league there is no elite PG who can play both ends like how Gary Payton did it in his prime.

No longer will Kobe have to play point guard and shooting guard at the same time
Dude will have more freedom and won't run out of gas in the 4th quarter no more. Now he will have energy to lock down defensively
Nash camping outside for wide open 3 when team doubling Bynum and Gasol down low.
Nash run pick and roll with Gasol
Nash run circle around the defense and throw lob to Bynum
Metta World Peace wide open 3 all day
Yikes at the possibilities

Since ESPN was reporting that Grant Hill was also a possibility coming here. Which I assume would be for the $3 million mini mid level.
That really seals the deal of Matt Barnes not coming back next season which really disappoints me.
His injuries really hurt him last season and for some reason it seemed he was in Mike Brown's dog house during the playoffs.

My man, your team has got an elite center and an elite SF and you havent done anything yet. You know damn well that if you got Nash you would be celebrating in the streets right now

I'm more mad at losing Hill than Barnes. $$$% Barnes.
He looked ok at times but injuries killed him. He could never find a rhythm with us.
