Actually there is several ways to look at the trade. One it should sink by now that the Spurs are better and have been better and it doesn't matter whether its Shaq or Marion the result is the same. Two once again we see that Nash is not a half court point guard. Its the same now as it was when he was with Dallas, the guy puts up numbers in wide open run and gun style, but when asked to settle down and run a half court set, the team is unsuccessful with him. Its hard to judge the Suns really, because they are losing to a team that by most accounts are a dynasty in its prime. The Suns are not losing to scrubs, but to one of the best teams ever. Hard to really blame anyone when losing to the Spurs.
