Soon, specific details about the Lakers' trade with the Suns for Steve Nash were also revealed.

The Lakers traded an $8.9 million trade exception, first-round picks in 2013 and 2015, and second-round picks in 2013 and 2014 plus some cash for two-time MVP point guard Steve Nash.

Nash's new three-year contract is worth $27 million.

Just talking about this deal, many fans don't have so many complaints and ridicule, because Steve Nash is still not a loss for the Suns when he gets these chips.

The Lakers didn't make much money on this deal!

Because of this, many Steve Nash fans are very supportive of the deal.

Because they all hope that after eight seasons with the Suns, Nash can get a championship ring at the end of his career.

Nash and Kobe Bryant belong to the same 96 golden generation. Nash was drafted by the Suns with the 15th pick in the first round in 1996 and spent time with the Mavericks before returning to the Suns. In his 16-year career, Nash averaged 14.5 points, three rebounds and 8.6 assists per game.

Prior to joining the Lakers, Nash played for the Suns and ushered in an era of his own, winning back-to-back regular season MVP titles in 2005 and 2006. Nash has been named to the All-Star team eight times in his career and to the league's first team three times. In NBA history, Nash has the No. 2 highest free-throw shooting percentage and the No. 5 all-time career assists total.

Last season, Nash averaged 12.5 points and 10.7 assists in 31.6 minutes per game while shooting 53.2 percent from the field and had the most 28 double-doubles of any defender. Therefore, it can be said that Nash is still in great shape, and next season he will join forces with Kobe Bryant to strive for a championship ring at the end of his career, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.

In short, his final choice to join the Lakers is something everyone wants to see.

There are still many twists and turns in this deal, because they have already signed Howard, so this also leads to the Lakers not having enough salary space to sign Nash, so they can only reach a sign-and-trade deal with the Suns, only then Nash can get a new contract of 3 years and 27 million dollars.

The deal was also approved by the Suns, and Steve Nash was definitely going to go anyway, so it would be better to make something with Steve Nash.

The deal was going on at about the same time as the Howard deal, and neither side knew it was coming.

By the end of today's trade protection period, the Lakers also made the official announcement.

This also makes it look like the two deals were done one after the other!

But it doesn't really matter.

It's just that it doesn't matter whether it matters or not, the current situation is the best for Steve Nash.

The strength of the Lakers is so strong, if he can win the championship, it will be a very happy thing for him!

At least that's the case in Steve Nash's opinion.

……

After completing these two trades, the Lakers management was also rated by many experts as the most present management in the summer, and many experts also believed that Kupchak would win the general manager of the season award again with this deal.

No way, these two deals are so beautiful that even the most demanding experts can't have any bad opinion of them, and in their opinion, Kupchak has taken the gamble to the fullest, and their gamble can be regarded as controlling the risk.

In recent league deals, only Pakleli's 2010 Big Three can be compared.

"The biggest enemy of the Knicks appeared, although it is a pity, but for the entire Knicks team, they must not be able to complete the 3 consecutive championships, no way, the Lakers are too strong after these two trades, in my opinion, this season is actually the season of the Lakers!"

"I don't know what to say, but if I can give Yi more challenges, I still want to see such a situation, after all, from the situation of the Heat Big Three in the past two years, if you want to give Yi a bigger challenge, then you must have a more luxurious lineup, such as the current Lakers!"

"The Lakers did a great job of completing these two trades, but they were done too early, which gave Downey time, and although there is not much time left, no one knows what will happen next! What is certain is that Downey will never let this summer end here, even if he agrees, Dolan will never agree, this is the closest the Knicks are to three consecutive championships, even if they don't necessarily have no chance, but Yi Jianlian will be in the last year of his contract next year, and at that time for the Knicks, how to keep Yi? The safest way is to win three consecutive championships, so that Yi can see that the New York Knicks are willing to build his own dynasty, which is the best gift! ”

And such a big move by the Lakers also made many fans turn their attention to the New York Knicks all of a sudden.

The Knicks won two consecutive championships this summer, and for this team, their fight for three consecutive championships is a natural and inevitable one, of course, this kind of thinking is also normal, whoever wins two consecutive championships will want to win three consecutive championships, after all, for any team, three consecutive championships are equal to a dynasty.

Although the two consecutive championships are domineering, there is always something missing.

It is said that the biggest opponent of the Knicks in the new season will be the Thunder, but the Thunder has exposed a lot of problems in the Finals, Westbrook has to grow, and I really don't know what it will be like in the new season, in addition, whether James Harden's performance on the bench can be one step closer is also the key to whether the Thunder can bring more trouble to the Knicks.

In short, there are still some unknowns in the Thunder team, although these boys have played well this year, but the young team is like this, maybe this year's chemistry is good, they reached the Finals, and next season the chemistry is gone, and they won't even be able to play the Western Conference Finals later.

These are all possible.

So to be honest, in the eyes of many fans, the Knicks maintain their current momentum, no, it should be said that Yi Jianlian can complete three consecutive championships no matter how he maintains his current momentum.

It's just that now, a new enemy has appeared, and the Lakers have formed a "new F4", which can be said to be more powerful than the "Big Three" of the Heat on paper.

Naturally, it has also become the biggest threat to the Knicks.

However, the fans' wait was not in vain, but in 5 days, the New York Knicks came out with a shocking news that they brought this year's sixth man of the year, James Harden, from the Thunder to New York!
