They are playing the PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS, not Memphis Grizzlies.

Jul 29, 2009 3:48 PM EST

Having just signed a contract extension with the Suns, Steve Nash took just a few seconds to look back on the last few years.

"You know what? I enjoy life too much to look back a lot," Nash told the Arizona Republic of his five years with the Suns. "I have too much to look forward to each day, too much left to accomplish and work for. Yeah, it's a shame and it hurts, if I take a minute to stop and think about it. But I don't really have any regrets, and I look forward to continuing to improve and being part of a great environment and a great team."

As positive and forgiving as Nash sounded, he proved that he could be bitter too.

"No one gave us Pau Gasol for nothing," he added.

Nash was referring to a February 2008 trade between the Grizzlies and Lakers. Los Angeles acquired Gasol and a 2010 second round pick from Memphis for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, the rights to Marc Gasol and two future draft picks.

I'm interested. It's going to be Nash's twilight years.

I'm down if it's a regular season game (it should be right?)

If they play the memphis grizzlies (can't believe they still haven't change the stupid name), I'll wear my Big Country Reeves jersey (I actually don't have one... but I could make one... the same way Alf made his ZecKy jersey)>

No man, it's a pre-season game of course! The first game of the regular season nowadays is always October 30 or 31 or November 1. As far as I can remember, a non-NBA City never hosts a game that counts lol!

Haha, "zecKy"!!! Stupid Alf!...

Big Country for Prime Minister!!!

Rivals Seem To Appreciate Odom's Value More Than The Lakers

If Lamar Odom does not re-sign with the Lakers, the clear consensus is that the balance of power will shift in the Western Conference.

“If he goes somewhere else, they’re vulnerable,” a Western Conference general manager said Wednesday. “With him, they’re the favorites.”

Said one West advance scout: “I definitely would think it’s unanimous in the league that if Lamar goes somewhere else, well at the very least in the West, that it gives you a glimmer of hope that even if Kobe plays great you’re right there with them.”

There is a statistic that provides a true indication of Odom’s value: individual plus-minus. Odom finished the 2008-09 season with a team-best +693 plus-minus – better than both Bryant (+659) and Gasol (+572). Moreover, the only NBA player with a higher plus-minus than Odom’s was Cleveland’s LeBron James(notes) (+871).

“It’s about being able to pass, dribble and shoot,” a longtime NBA assistant coach said. “[Odom] can pass, dribble and shoot. You take all three of those things away from a team and it hurts you. You’re taking away a guy that can do all that.”

hey lester,

can you check and see when the tickets go on sale and we should see how many ppl wanna go and just buy a bunch of tickets. thanks

No problem... as long as you pay for the ones taken by nobody lol. Honestly there is no point watching the game at GM Place if the seats are worse than what you see on TV, and I don't know if people are willing to pay...

Odom Will Sign With Lakers

Lamar Odom will sign a four-year contract, with the fourth year at the Lakers' option.

One source with knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com the four-year deal is worth $33 million if the Lakers exercise the final year of the contract.

Neither Mitch Kupchak or Odom's agent, Jeff Schwartz, commented on the report.

The Heat and Blazers also were interested in Odom.

i dun think tix will be that $$$ so we should should look into a few options

I posted a photo in the photos section. I was sitting right behind the Suns bench, think they were under $130. If it was a regular season game, at seat would've cost at least 4-5 times what I paid. At least!

But anyway, I'm not going though. I gotta pay my mom triple the amount of money I've been giving her and I'm broke as heck. I think I heard on the radio the tickets go on sale this Saturday. So the sooner you guys get it, the better seats you'll have.
