We know that Nash makes you better and gives you some roomt to work.
Diaw on a good team, with Nash might be much better than most think.
The Suns fleeced the Celts for Joe Johnson and thus got a decent euro player to play with euro coach, got a decent player in return, will likely get Mike Finely, and while those picks are lotto protected, they usually are for a certain time then must be given. In any event TWO no. 1's is pretty good!
Many times players leave creates other opportunities over time. JJ might put up good numbers "being the man" and ATL might look good, but I think the Suns will continue to strive and have those picks as trade bait, or will perhaps find another JJ int he rough!
Good post nalod, one thing about the suns is that they are good at recovering talent. I have seen Diaw a lot here in the ATL, and I will tell you this: People are saying why not get Josh smith instead, well Josh smith can't shoot, dribble, and is not a good passer, that does not seem to fit what the suns look for in a player, Diaw, can play a little point, is a adequate passer, finisher, not a good shooter but is two times the shooter josh smith is and can knock down the open jumper on occasions, but Diaw can defend, he is a underrated defender, people are fooled if they think that the suns are getting a scrub then think again, Diaw is a nice piece to have..
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............

or some facsimile to be successive. Perhaps Atlanta knows more about the things Joe Johnson can do with the ball in his hands than he displayed on the court. Q wasn't the only one who bought in to the system.
