The Suns actually traded Marbury for Nash. Who would you rather have?

man, you shouldnt even be asking this question, there is no doubt in any one's mind that marbury is better. only thing nash has is ugly hair.

nash has won more playoff series and i think he makes his team better more than marbury does. that being said, nash accomplished what he did with a much better nucleus than marbury ever had, even though marbury-joe johnson-marion-stoudemire is a core that shouldve won a lot more games than it did

Marbury. He's younger, quicker, more athletic, and has a better handle. Nash is merely a better open shooter.

Nash is a nice player but Marbury is superior in every aspect of the game

Hahahahahaha.

It's hilarious today, but notice how, at the time, nobody argued.

If there is any reason to be open minded in considering D'Antoni -- it should be because we don't know if the "D'Antoni Effect" can improve some of our guys and alter perceptions around here and around the league.

I remember thinking Marbury was a better player, but Nash was a better team player. Good find Evil. Steve Nash went from being a possible piece in a trade for Shaq, a player some people thought wasnt worth what they eventually gave to Erick Dampier, and not a highly respected player, to league MVP.

Im getting more excited about D'Antoni everyday.

I admit I liked Marbury back then too but I never thought he was better than Nash. The main reason I liked Marbury was because we had to see so many old, slow fools under Layden and this guy was a change of pace and an all-star. Too bad his brain is the size of a peanut and his attitude is terrible. Then of course you have Isiah Thomas building the team but that's another story.

I'd agree 100%- when we got Marbury, he was the first PG we'd had as long as I've been a fan (mid 80's) who could get in the lane and hit a lay up.

If Isiah had only stopped with Marbury, things might have actually gotten better if we had made smart drafts-

And on a talent level - Marbury at the time was better- but his brain, 'size of a peanut' and 'bad attitude' became painfully dominant over the last few years...

That was not one of my better moments!

Don't worry, Bonn. You were not alone. However, you gotta check the other Nash thread I resurrected -- you might cringe when you read that one.
