Because without Gay and Augustine in the lineup, and with Fields and Nash getting their minutes, This team will win games. I'd rather try to win and hope LA loses, than root for Toronto losses.

So here is the WIN NOW trade, assuming we swap picks with LA on draft night.

I'm still skeptical on these twitter rumors. MU doesn't seem like the guy to chase Nash.. and if TL is trying to pull a BC I've lost faith. However if the goal is to get a $18M coach on the floor he'd be the best guy to get.
I don't think LA would take Rudy (he has 2 years on his contract if he opts in) and the rumor is they want to free up all their cap space for next season.
So a 3rd team would have to be involved since Toronto doesn't have many expiring contracts either that total $9M.
So a scenario like this could potentially work:
Toronto receives Nash, Butler, and the Greek guy from the Bucks
LA receives Lowry and Udoh (both expiring)
Milwaukee receives Gay
Toronto gets the rights to the better pick between LA/Milwaukee (LA gets the other).
This helps the tank in my opinion, gets them a prospect and a pick that could end up in the lottery. Essentially my ideal scenario for trading Gay and/or Lowry.

I'd be very skeptical of Nash's impact in Toronto. Y'all are looking at him and thinking "Heck ya! Steve Nash running the offense!" Steve Nash post-Suns is not the same guy at all. He really, really looks done and he's still owed a lot of money for this season and next. How does he help move the franchise forward if the biggest need here a serious talent infusion through draft picks and cap space? It would have to be the first in a series of trades that sees MU become a full-on Jedi trade master by completely turning this team around through an on-the-fly rebuild."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard
