Honestly, if people really saw some MVP in Nash in 2003, his jock would've been sweated by many more then Phoenix and probably for more then was actually offered by Phoenix. It would've been an open season for a Tim Duncan/Kevin Garnett/Shaq type sweepstakes. We're talking maximum deal.
It is what it is. Forward ho!
Credit to Nash for securing the deal and winning a MVP.
Credit to Phoenix for its foresight and incredible turnaround.
Credit to Dallas for overcoming the loss of a future MVP.
Edit: Stock analogy- Google at 85 bux per on the open auction. A lot of people said no way, it's overpriced. It's skyrocketed since and that 85 is looking pretty darn good. Some lost out and some got rich. Today, it's still a good stock but the price is so high that a few even say it's overrated. That doesn't mean it wasn't a good buy then and it also doesn't mean that everybody who didn't invest was an idiot or penny-pinchin'. Just the way a cookie crumbles sometimes.
