But he didn't so thats a moot point. Numbers aside Nash isn't a good investment at 38 years old period

Look at the Suns roster and tell me if they would have a chance at making the playoffs with any other PG...you would need the best PG like a healthy Rose to have made the playoffs with that Suns team.

Their roster is terrible. Nash is better than you think bro, I'll end it at that.

I said Nash is a great player, I just said I dont like the fit, is that a problem

Nash's age is the biggest reason why, also the price, also I hate the fit.

But age is my biggest concern for Nash. This guy has lower back problems and has logged a lot of mileage on his wheels.

I'd love to have his experience on this team but not at the price that we are going to pay.


i can understand the age part he is old, but he is still in good shape and mobile. Nash could probably go 4 more years if he wanted to. I don't think you'll find a better PG rotation of Nash/Lin that's going to present itself. Sign up Nash for 2 years and chase the Championship if it fails, i believe Amare, Melo, Nash and chandler would all be coming off the books after the 2014-2015 season giving us a chance to rebuild completely or trade expiring contracts or whatever.

Lets face it
Ray Allen- Miami/celtic bound
Andre Miller- most likely going back to Denver
Odom- Clippers
Jason Kidd- Most likely signs where Deron signs
OJ Mayo- No shot
Jason terry- NO shot

Realistically-For 3 mill Felton, Foye etc are New york bound, but even signing them only improves our team slightly. Nash to me is the best option and is better than alot of these other NON big names FA's we are looking to target.

If the option of getting Nash presents itself you pull the trigger. especially if all we have to give up if Landry fields + non-guaranteed contracts.

@ Ca7 whats wrong with the fit? Reuniting Nash with Amare is perfect. Im not worried to much about Melo he will get his shots and do his thing and probably at a highler level playing next to Nash. Nash is capable of hitting the open shot he does not neccesairly need the ball to be effective he's a great shooter. Defense may be the only slight issue, but Lin aint exactly your cup of tea defensively either (better than Nash, but he's not locking up anybody). When Shump returns i think the defense would be just fine.

you guys realize that if the knicks get Nash they will likely lose Lin to Toronto who will likely offer lin a backloaded contract of 15 million each as much as out of spite for not getting Nash. Along with the fact they know that he can sell out their arena for a least 1 season and if he plays well until the day he leaves. Toronto more than any other team in the league can and will likely poison pill Lin's contract. Cuban is too smart to offer that kind of contract for those few games and the Nets will likely keep Deron.

I hope they get Felton as a backup and see if OJ Mayo (who seriously is falling between the cracks this off season) is available and set the team up from there. That way arguably the knicks are holding on to pieces that can be traded or moved in the future for other assets. Nash literally is a win now or else move.

@Almost_Famous the fit I have a problem with is 2 things

1. Killing Lin's momentum. He's the PG on this team for better or worse, why bring in someone to replace him. Thats the ultimate sign of disloyalty.

2. Nash thrives in the pick n roll with STAT as the 5 and 3 spot up shooters. We lack those KO shooters well not really but Tyson plays 35 minutes a night and thats the exact reason why STAT is working on his post game because he has to get his other ways now.

If our team was

Nash-Fields-Chandler-Gallinari-Stoudemire ok but we're not we're a power offense, half court execution running things inside out

Nash's game fits perfectly to bring back STAT, but what about Carmelo? Again I don't think it fits

Lin still hasn't fully worked out his game. I have a feeling if we let him take the reins we have a better chance at building better team chemistry

That is totally true, everyone thinks it is going to be NashVill and Linsanity one two punch but in reality i think Lin would feel offended and bounce for the 15 mill, i know the dudes loyal but come on, A year ago you were worth 250k now you can get 15 mill for 2 years? i doubt we get both and if we do then that shows the ultimate winning at all cost mindset that is lacking in sports today.

Raymond Felton needs to be our target.
He sucked in Denver, sucked in Portland, was awesome here.
He's what we need, not Steve Nash

The Knicks feel good about their chances of re-signing Steve Novak despite nearly a dozen teams contacting his agent yesterday on the first day of free agency.
But as a back-up plan, the Knicks have targeted free-agent forward, Anthony Tolliver as a possible replacement, according to sources. Tolliver was an excellent 3-point shooter two seasons ago with the Timberwolves before being hampered by a wrist injury last season.
A good rebounder and defender, Tolliver?s adjusted plus-minus ratings have pro scouts impressed. The Knicks are afraid of the new luxury-tax penalty and prefer not to have to compete with a club offering Novak the full $5 million mid-level exception.
