Can you imagine Nash resting, letting Barbosa worry about scoring, and Odom handling the ball.

Totally agree - I honestly think this trade would make the Suns a little better offensively (if that's possible) and the Lakers would find out that Marion can't do what he used to because he no longer has Nash feeding him the ball. He could help a little defensively, though, but this is a better trade overall for the Suns.
