Around SBN: Race to the Roses & BCS Bowl Predictions

Add Steve Nash, Nate Robinson and Title number 2

 

Both can create there own shot, penetrate the defense, run and Shoot from distance.  Steve nash can still hit the three with great accuracy, and is one of the best passers in the game.  Nate is  more of a streaky 3 pt shooter at 35% for his career. Steve Nash Shot 50% for the field, 44% from 3 and over 93% from the line.

   Steve is old, tough and wise, Nate is young, tough and a little crazy. I believe We can aquire both by signing Nate for around 5 or 6 million a year and trading Bayless and Outlaw to Phoenix for Nash.  This leaves us with the question of what to do with Steve Blake..  I have no Idea but that is why Pritchard makes the big bucks.

 

 

I just love looking at this rotation:

 

48 Min   PG  Nash(28), Robinson(10), Roy (10)         

48 Min   SG  Roy (16), Rudy(22), Robinson (11) 

48 Min   SF  Batum (13), Webster(23) Roy (11)

48 Min   PF  Aldridge (35), Batum (13),

48 Min    C   Oden (28), Pryzbilla (20)

 

                              M

Roy                       37

Aldridge               35

Oden                     28

Nash                     28

Batum                   26

Webster                23

Fernandez            22

Robinson             21

Pryzbilla               20

 

 

That gives a great nine man rotation where everyone plays at least 20 minutes a game. Obviously you have to factor in injuries and maybe someone playing better than expected and someone playing worse, so minutes will always be fluid.  What this line up gives us though is  Some great experience with Nash, Pryzbilla and Roy,  some almost all star play in Lamarcus, and a ton of up and coming talent (Oden, Batum, Fernandez, Webster, Robinson.)  We would have some defense with Pryz and Batum, with up an coming defenders in Roy and Aldridge.  Our shooting would be lights out with Nash, Webster, Fernadez, Roy, Robinson and Aldridge….a little bit from Batum as well.  We could post up with Oden, Aldridge and Roy(although this would be one of our weaker areas.) Drive and dish, and pick n roll could be unstoppable with the shooters spreading the floor, Nash, Roy and Robinson running the show, and Aldridge, Oden and Pryz diving to the hoop.  The Blazers would have Great length and rebounding ability with Pryz, Oden, Aldridge, Batum, Webster and Roy. Finally they would have great leadership and clutch play from Nash and one of the 2 or 3 best closers in the game in Brandon Roy. I really think this would be a team that has almost everything it needs(maybe a little concern with perimeter defense, but I think Roy, Batum Robinson and Webster can all be above average in time).

      I think our biggest weaknesses last year were toughness, defense and lack of shot creators on offense.  With the addition of Robinson and Nash I think we get tougher and add two good to great playmakers. The defense will get better as our young players better understand how to do it. We have guys will all the tools to be good defenders, they just need experience.

If the ball bounces are way and we get a little bit of growth from the young players thru out the year anything would possible, including a championship.

i want bayless and outlaw

i dont understand why everyone has given up on bayless already

The Blazers will play beautiful basketball.

Brandon will shoot the lights out. Blake will run and LMA will finish strong at the hoop. Bayless will play because we’ll be so far ahead in the 4th quarter, giving all the Jerryd fans something to smile about.

But wait, that’s not all. Rudy will go 5 of 5 from distance. Batum will posterize someone. And Channing will NOT lead the team in points.

I haven't given up on Bayless

I was just thiking they could be a great team now with the additions I mentioned. Bayless may or may not be a player down the road, I do thnk it’s safe to say he isn’t quite ready to contribute to a Title contender

out of the players on our roster only Broy is ready to contribute to a title contender

We are not a title contender yet guys the playoffs went to everyones head next season ( after this one) we will be with Oden Batum Rudy and Baylees gaining more experience but our role is not title contender its playoff spoiler

Problem

Batum isn’t built to play the 4, and there is no way Robinson can play the 2. He is way too small

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people

Nate Can play the 2

Just not with Nash at Point, when Roy is playing the one you move Robinson to the 2 gaurd. I think Batum will be able to play some 4, I agree his slight frame could be problematic though.

If we really did this deal for nash

and had to include B-Rex outlaw and/or Blake why not just bring over Koponnen?

by DephlatorMouse on Jul 4, 2009 12:15 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Nash's playing style is completely incompatible with Nate's offense

He’s also horrible on D and isn’t too far off from a precipitous decline.

Really?

That sounds like a self destruct plan. Nash is one or two injuries away from retirement and Nate is a shrimp and neither of them would fit our system. Bayless stays.
