Nash will go to either the Thunder or the Heat and that team will win a championship.

Someone, maybe Cowherd so take it for what its worth, said that both Nash and Ray Allen are possibilities for Miami. Nash would average about 24 assists a game with a starting lineup of him, Allen, Wade, LeBron, and Bosh.

I hate that on about 3 levels.

Broussard said that he could see it with Ray Allen but not Nash. Miami just doesnt have the money to get both of them. I think Nash could still demand some decent money

Didn't he say he was taking next year off to try to get completely healthy? Or was he saying that's what his 2012 season would be?

I thought he meant this whole season. I read something where he was doing very well. I could be wrong though.

I think we can all give up on Mr. Oden at this point.

From a Pacers standpoint. The 3 moves Id like to see:

1. Sign Eric Gordon to a long term deal. I know he has injury problems, but bringing him back home would be amazing for the team and city. If you dont go long term, I think NO will match. But long term, with the injury concerns, I think he is theirs.

2. Go hard for Steve Nash. George Hill did a good job as the starting PG, but he is not a PG. Collison is an AWESOME back-up, but I dont like him as the starting PG for a team contending for the 2nd spot in the East.

3. Take a flyer on the hometown boy, Greg Oden. If he works out, awesome. If not, oh well. If you give a competative offer, I think he may take it over similar offers. He loves Indy, the same way Eric Gordon does. They are always back home.

4. Re-sign Roy Hibbert. Not a go to guy, but he is a legit 7-2 (at least), is fairly athletic, and can score on the block. Only a few of them in the NBA. Cant let him go.

Obviously, all those moves probably cant happen. I dont really know the financial situation for the Pacers and Bird, but those moves would be HUGE for a team that is very close.

I love the Eric Gordon idea. Really think he has a lot of talent and would be great for Indiana. Always liked watching him play because he seems to like a challenge, which would be great for them going against the Bulls, Celtics, and Heat. Just looked up his stats and had no idea he averaged over 20PPG last year, probably because he played for New Orleans, but I'd love to see him go to the Pacers.

Good ideas. Giving a big guaranteed deal to Gordon is a little scary though, but I agree 100% you have to do it of you want him

Not sure Indiana takes that gamble though as they already have Granger and George.

If you can deal Granger for a PG and then sign Gordon you have something IMO.

Guessing he will always be signing incentive laced deals, if any.
