Lakers' Trade and Signing

This year was a pretty hectic year for the NBA.  With the lock out at the beginning of the season, it was beginning to look like there wouldn't even be a season this year.  But once it kicked off, the trade rumors around the league began to take over the headlines.  Since they didn't have much time before the trade deadline, teams had to hold off until the off season.  The first big signing was the AMAZING free agent, Steve Nash.  His contract ended with the Phoenix Suns and he had said he couldn't stay there any longer if they weren't making immediate changes to the roster in order to help him win his first championship.  People may say he's not a loyal player anymore after leaving the Suns organization after so long, but why would he continue to stay if they haven't given him any help in all these years?  LeBron made the same decision and it won him an NBA Championship.  That's what these players are in the league for... Championships!  But this scenario was no where near as big of story as LeBron's.  I don't mind that though, Steve Nash has always been my favorite player and he definitely does not deserve to be put on the negative spot light for going to any organization that could quite possibly win him his well deserved Championship.  

On top of signing Steve Nash, another big move was the four-team trade the Lakers' took part in to acquire Superman himself, Dwight Howard.  Although I haven't been a fan of him lately because he pretty much quit on the Magic, but this deal excites me.  Steve Nash deserves a ring more than any other player playing in the NBA right now.  That might just be my own opinion, but I'm sure that anyways who knows the NBA slightly well can vouch for me on this.  He's almost 40 years old now; his time in the league is short.  GET HIM A RING LOS ANGELES!!
