as for the trade. If having Nash means Kobe won't be hovering over the ball as much as he currently does, then its a great addition. i just have a hard time believing Kobe will defer at all and play off the ball at all. he has to have the ball in his hands to be happy. if he would defer just a little and just let the offense flow thru Nash, i'd go as far to say that the Lakers are a legit championship contender. if Kobe continues his normal high volume inefficient ways than Nash won't be the effective player we know him to be, his value will be dimished and the Lakers will probably be around the same or slightly better than they were this year.
even tho i'm a Heat fan, i really would love to see Kobe realize he needs to chill out with the 25 shot games and let Nash run things. i think they would be amazing to watch especially considering how skilled Nash-Gasol combo will be.
