But I've been thinking about two things:
A)Amare may not have that many years left with that surgery
B)Steve Nash isn't actually that young.
This team has a very short window and Kerr knows that which is why I've changed my mind about calling this a bad trade.
It's kind of like DWade who knew that window of the Heat was short which is why he tried to come back from that injury.
Shaq is hungry for another ring to cement his legacy and obviously Steve Nash wants some hardware.
Yup that's it exactly.
I will say though, the fact that the team is willing to mortgage Amare's peak years for a year or two with Nash is kinda sad. There's not a doubt in my mind that they don't make the Shaq trade if Amare had reached the levels we'd thought he'd reach after the '04-05 season.
