He is well known as a great passer. He is almost too unselfish at times and passes up shots he should take. He has also been criticized by Phoenix fans for being lazy and show a lack of hustle while on the court.

 

He was Mike D’Antoni’s favorite player and he had total confidence in him. This showed in the last two games of the first round of the playoffs when the Suns decided to have their entire offense run through Boris Diaw at times.

 

Both of these players have show great potential and under the right leadership could potentially be NBA all-stars.

 

The Suns desperately need a backup point guard to relieve Nash of some of his duties as well as a dependable perimeter shooting guard they can also rely on for defense. A young backup center to help Shaq might not be a bad idea either.

 

The important thing the Suns need to do is look to rebuild while still staying competitive for the next years.

 

There are rumors the Suns are looking to trade up in the draft or potentially pick up another early round draft pick.

 

With this being said, how much trade value could each player carry and what should the Suns do to be a championship contending team next year?
