The hard thing for the Suns is how do they work in Shaq when they need to run and gun. They always needed a center and a go to big man in the middle nd Shaq does help even at this age but where Nash really shines is where Kidd shines, in an up and down game.
I would not be surprised if Phx trades Barbosa now and he is good but if they can get a real solid passing pg, penetrate some and really protect the ball as Nash rests. A guy like Blake but them pick up another big man that can get up and down the court pf/center that can come in some for Shaq and Amare. Barbosa could possibly snag two good players for them and fill two voids and them get deeper. Then again, Barbosa is hard for anyone to guard as he is a flash of blinding speed. Dragic doesn't look good to me and they need help where Dragic fills in.
The Lakers must get solid on defense and they have to stop turning it on just when they want to. Boston will spank them if they don't start playing good defense. Gasol is real solid now and if they will work on their defense, they can challenge the Celts.
