We rolled out the red carpet for Rashard Lewis - how many MVPs has he won? Doesn't every organization roll out the red carpet for prime free agents?
If the Suns thought Nash was a MVP type player then they would have offered him a max-dollar and max-year contract. That's what MVPs make. Since the Suns didn't, they must have thought a LOT of Nash but not at a MVP level.

What about Donnie Nelson, who said losing Nash felt like getting punched in the gut?

Maybe because Nash had said that money wasn't the deciding factor and then made it all about the money?

What about Nellie, whose heart was no longer in it after that colossal flub by Cuban?

If Nellie had run an offense that maximized Nash's talents then we wouldn't be having this conversation. I'm glad the fat-assed quiter is gone.
