If the Heat get Nash I see them repeat.

I don't think that Steve Nash would hurt Lebron's game at all. It would definitely impact Chalmers who would likely be the odd man out. I definitely remember the Lakers in 2004. I don't think Nash's playing style and personality draw many parallels with them. On paper I think it looks great. What happens in real life is anyone's guess. I don't think New York is the perfect fit for Nash. Their record of bringing in stars and turning them into a contender hasn't been very good. For that reason alone if I were Nash I'd stay away from it. I think you're selling Jeremy Lin short. To say he doesn't fit with this team isn't fair. He's been the best fit point guard they've come up with in quite a number of years.

With all due respect, the key point about Lin is turnovers; a team that does not play defense well like the Knicks cannot afford their point guard turning it over as much as he does. Steve Nash is a solid PG that controls the floor better. You get a better leader on the floor without sacrificing the scoring that you get from Lin. With players like Carmelo and Stoudemire, you want to have someone to facilitate more, something I see more from Nash than Lin. Lin being the best point guard for the Knicks in years is a weird statement; it doesn't necessarily qualify him as being a great PG, but only the "best" they've had. Looking at their recent history that really isn't saying much. I don't question that Lin is a good PG, but he's not top 10. I would rather have Tyreke Evans in NY than Lin, personally, because unless you get a top 10 PG there isn't much distinction between the rest of the best. There is a tier of PG that qualifies as the top (Nash, Rose, Paul, D-Williams, Rondo), after that it becomes a group that includes Tyreke Evans, Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, John Wall, even Ricky Rubio sits there. I don't think Lin is as good as them either. Every name on this list makes the Knicks better than Lin does. He's not horrible, but if you have a chance to get Nash with a team that has not won anything and could use a leader then it could be special. That being said, I don't think New York is the "perfect" fit for Nash, either, but it is the best fit. He makes that team dangerous, Lin makes the team better but in the end they would be better served with a future Hall of Famer like Nash. The problem with Nash in Miami is his presence takes away too much from chemistry; if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Chalmers isn't a top PG either, but he his a perfect fit for this team. You replace Mike Miller with Ray Allen and that is a wash at worst. At best that is another future Hall of Famer that fits perfectly within the framework of the team. The Heat don't really need a point guard because LeBron and Wade control the ball so much in their offense. A PG in Miami is someone to spread the floor out, not dominate the ball, lead a break when needed, and make plays. It's better to have the younger, quicker Chalmers there for defensive purposes, too.

Hmm... Bringing in Carmelo and Stoudemire was supposed to turn them into a contender. Those have not been the only "stars" over the past decade to come to New York. Some of those "stars" were point guards. Hate to say it but they still didn't look like a contender this year. Will Nash put them over the top? Part of me really doubts it. I don't think Nash will hurt Miami's chemistry. I agree that they function well without a point guard but Nash will reduce some of the one on one stuff that almost got them into trouble in the playoffs this year. I don't think he'll hurt Lebron's game. Lebron won't always have to create his own shot starting from outside the three point line. This is all theory anyway. My gut tells me he should stay away from New York. My wish bone wants him in a Raptors uniform. In my opinion there is no real down side to going to Miami. Whatever happens will happen.

Miami is an odd team in that they won a championship yet they don't have a true point guard or centre. They are a great team and I don't think bringing in Nash would hurt them. If anything I think he would have them running the court even better than they do now. For the rest of the league that would have to be a scary thought. As far as salary goes, I'm doubting Miller will be back in spite of how well he played and his popularity. He gets quite a chunk of change. With him probably coming off the books and the fact that I don't think money is Nash's primary concern, I can see this happening.
